M66***28Autumn in Yudaokou is like nature overturning its palette. Golden leaves, fiery red maple leaves, and emerald green pines and cypresses interweave into a brilliant and colorful painting.

兴业爱📸I had previously learned through the media that the earliest bird fossils had been discovered in Chaoyang, and I had always wanted to see them, but I hadn't been able to. This year, during my vacation, and since I'm also from Liaoning, it was convenient for me to go there. I visited the site and listened to the guide's explanation, which sparked my interest in natural science. After returning, I often read articles about the Chaoyang bird fossils.

琰琰夏日Locals can enter for free by swiping their ID cards, while visitors need to purchase tickets. After entering the main gate, you need to buy a one-way shuttle bus ticket to the Middle Temple. At the Middle Temple, you can see the Blood Relic and the Dipankara Relic, which are truly amazing. Further up is a paved road, but the slope is quite steep. The leaves have all fallen now; it will be a completely different sight in spring and autumn!

_ZF***93The Eight Outer Temples are actually an abbreviation for the Eight Temples Outside the Pass. Puning Temple was the first temple built by Emperor Qianlong after his ascension to the throne (Puning, as the name suggests, means "universal peace"). Putuo Zongcheng Temple was the last temple he built. This is the only one of the Eight Outer Temples managed by the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Bureau (Lama); the others are managed by the Cultural Relics Bureau. A must-see here is the Thousand-Handed and Thousand-Eyed Guanyin Bodhisattva (the world's largest existing gilded wooden standing Buddha statue). Emperor Qianlong liked to erect steles. The steles describe the background of the temple's construction, and the steles even use puns, with money and dragon patterns carved at the bottom. I heard a story from Director Wang that made me realize Emperor Qianlong was a person of extremely high emotional intelligence. When asked if the use of Chinese characters on the back of the steles was because Chinese was considered inferior to Manchu, Qianlong replied, "No, it's precisely because the Chinese language of the Central Plains is so profound that the back is written as a backing for the Manchu script." (This is anecdotal and not even historical; just something I heard.)

M60***67Hiking enthusiasts can enter through the South Gate and reach Toad Rock in about 40 minutes. From there, you can reach Qingchui Peak in less than half an hour, then take the cable car down from the North Gate. I saw a relaxing little orange cub at the Toad Rock Observation Deck.

不乐不归It's a great attraction, but not many people are there. Not many of the Outer Eight Temples are open to the public at the moment. The main ones that can be visited are Putuo Zongcheng Temple, Xumi Fushou Temple, Puning Temple and Anyuan Temple.

Anonymous userCultural sites leave us with historical imprints, and the gilded tiles of the Little Potala Palace are awe-inspiring, highlighting the weakness of a nation that can't even protect its own treasures! The tourism regulations regarding fire prevention at the Little Potala Palace are played on repeat, and the background music during the tour is a bit unbearable. I don't understand it, but I respect it!
4.6/5Anonymous userHighly recommended! The hotel has a strong local flavor, with unique decor and décor. Although the rooms are small, they are exquisite and clean. Opening the window allows you to breathe in fresh air, and you can hear chickens calling in the morning, giving you a close-up experience of rural life. The only downside is the lack of an elevator; I booked a room on the second floor after reading reviews beforehand. Thank you to the hotel for the accommodation and breakfast service. I'll definitely stay here again next time; highly recommended!

M10***56Travel off-peak and catch a glimpse of the grassland in late autumn. Duolun Lake is indeed worthy of its reputation, like a dazzling agate inlaid in the grassland. Enter through the east gate and exit through the south gate. There should be some road construction during this period, so you need to take a detour on a sandy road that is not easy to walk on (the staff will tell you when you buy the ticket). After that, you can start your journey around the lake. It is divided into three lines: east, west and south. The scenery in each place is distinct. The west line is very beautiful. There is only one minor drawback. There is a lot of garbage on the dam when you go to the scenic spot. Staff can be sent to pick it up, which really damages the environment of the scenic area. Overall, it is worthwhile to come to Duolun and Duolun Lake. It seems that there are various entertainment activities in summer, but in late autumn you can only enjoy the scenery. It is more suitable for taking the elderly out for a stroll, which is very fun.
