When i went to 3D Luoyuan Village to check the painted houses, I was quite disappointed because they were not able to maintain the paintings beauty of the houses in the village. Maybe they should re paint it every year or 2 years. So, before you arrive at Minshengcun you pass by this village and you see colorful houses. You can go around for an hour or 2 taking pictures of the nice paintings and colorful houses. The environement is also very provincial. Fresh and cool air and you can hear birds singing. At Minshengcun, the place is full of Rape Seed Flowers and it gives tourists different locations or areas where you can get juce pictures of the surroundings and also the whole area itself. I was satisfied with the place. thumbs up! #urbanexplorer #eslteacher #tigeryear2022

Warmed from head to toe. #tigeryear2022#staycation

Longde Temple in Pujiang, Jinhua, Zhejiang, is a thousand-year-old hidden gem where "the temple is gone, but the pagoda remains." The Northern Song Leaning Pagoda and "Literary Brush" Fengshui Longde Temple in Zhejiang (now primarily the Longde Temple Pagoda) is located within Tashan Park in Pujiang County, Jinhua City, and is a genuine architectural relic from the Northern Song Dynasty. 1. Longde Temple Pagoda: A "Living Fossil" of Jiangnan Song Pagodas The Thousand-Year Leaning Pagoda: Built in the third year of Tiansheng in the Northern Song Dynasty (1025 AD), it is nearly a thousand years old. The pagoda leans slightly northeast by about 38 centimeters, earning it the reputation of the "Oriental Leaning Pagoda." It has withstood lightning strikes and fires without falling, and is a national key cultural relic protection unit. Architectural Marvel: A seven-story, six-sided brick and wood pavilion-style pagoda, approximately 36 meters tall. Although the wooden eaves and corridors have been destroyed, the brick pagoda body retains typical Song Dynasty style. Northern Song silver bowls, copper coins, and other artifacts were once unearthed inside the pagoda. Filming Location for "Black Myth": If you're a gamer, this is also one of the real-life filming locations for "Black Myth: Wukong." The rugged ancient charm here is perfect for photography. 2. The Elegant Legend of "Literary Brush Dipping in Ink" Pujiang has been renowned for its literary tradition since ancient times, and a poetic Fengshui legend circulates locally: The Layout of Brush, Ink, and Inkstone: Longde Temple Pagoda (Longfeng Pagoda) is regarded as a giant brush, the city's Bell Tower as an inkstick, and the square pond in front of the Confucian Temple as an inkstone. Literary Imagery: Legend has it that every time the sun rises, the pagoda's shadow falls into the pond, resembling a giant brush dipping into ink. This "literary brush" is said to have protected Pujiang (the hometown of famous figures like Song Lian and Cao Juren), ensuring generations of talented scholars. 3. From Qianyuan Temple to Imperial Inscription Evolution of the Temple Name: The original temple was built during the Qianyuan era of the Tang Dynasty (around 758 AD). It was renamed "Longde Temple" during the Dazhong Xiangfu era of the Northern Song Dynasty (1016 AD). During the Southern Song Dynasty, Emperor Ningzong personally inscribed the temple's plaque, and it was once considered "the foremost Buddhist palace in the prefecture." Song Lian, a great Confucian scholar of the early Ming Dynasty, recorded in his "Stele for the Reconstruction of Longde Grand Hall" that this pagoda was funded and built by Hu Ze, Vice Minister of War in the Northern Song Dynasty, making it the oldest standing structure in Pujiang. The original temple site has been converted into a park, with only the ancient pagoda remaining. It is free to enter and accessible 24 hours a day, but climbing inside the pagoda is usually not permitted. Explore by Circling the Pagoda: Walk clockwise around the pagoda three times, looking for remnants of Song Dynasty brick carvings and inscriptions on its body. Photographing Tips: Take photos from the base looking up, use the archway as a frame, or find the "Literary Brush Dipping in Ink" perspective. Sit and Reflect: There are ancient camphor trees next to the pagoda. Sit under them and experience the ambiance of "gathering the essence of a prefecture" as described by Song Lian. This is not a bustling temple with strong incense, but rather a historical relic park. Don't expect grand halls; focus on experiencing the vicissitudes of the thousand-year-old pagoda. The pagoda is leaning and is a cultural relic; please do not climb or engrave on it. If you are interested in Song Lian or the background of "Black Myth," do some research beforehand to enhance your immersion on site. This pagoda is suitable for travelers who appreciate historical architecture and seek tranquility.

(This is the most economical option!) · The Fast Route: Grab a DiDi (ride-hailing) directly from the station to the temple. The ride takes about 15–20 minutes and costs around 20–30 RMB. (If you’re traveling with 2–3 people, splitting the fare actually makes this a better deal than the bus.) 💡 Pro Tips from Personal Experience · Best time to visit: Aim for 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM. The afternoon sunlight hits the stone carvings perfectly, making for stunning photos, and the weather is much cooler. · Etiquette: Feel free to take as many pictures of the Buddha statues as you want (放心大胆拍), but please respect the temple's rules by not photographing the monks and maintaining a quiet demeanor.
