Root Art Expo Park of China

China Root Art Expo Park, also known as Kaihua Root Palace Buddha Country Culture Tourism Area, National 5A Scenic Area, combines root carving art, bonsai art, stone culture and ancient garden construction into a four-bank book of root art. I feel that every root carving has a soul and story, too shocking, too shocking.

How many scenic spots are there in China? Before I went to Zhangzhou, Zhejiang, I really didn't hear that this park with root carvings was still a national 5A-level tourist area. This 5A-level tourist area is the Genyi Art Expo Park in Kaihua County. The locals also call it the Gengong Buddha National Tourism Area. In fact, the Expo Park is very large in size, and the whole is mainly root carving art. The root palace Buddha country is only part of it. Kaihua County is originally the hometown of root carving art in China, and root carving has a long history. Driving from the county seat to China Genyi Art Expo Park, it will take about 15 minutes to arrive. The main attractions are Fumen Xiangguang, Root Palace Buddha Kingdom, China Root Carving Museum, China Root Carving Historical Characters Museum, etc. Root carving works have many series of historical characters, animals, Buddhist works, Chinese mythology and stories. The overall tour made me feel very shocking, for three reasons: there are many root carvings. More than 2,000 large root carvings, some as high as ten meters. The largest work weighs about 40 tons! The richness of wood. There are also many varieties of wood used in root carvings, including some precious wood. The image is vivid and realistic. Especially the 500 Luohans in the Buddhist kingdom of the Root Palace, each Luohan's form and expression are different. Tucao: Although it is shocking to see so many large root carvings, the travel chain is not perfect, and the fare of 120 is slightly more expensive. Detailed address: Lingshan Road, Kaihua County, Zhangzhou, Zhejiang Province Traffic Guide: I took bus 103 at Kaihua International Hotel and got off at Gengong Buddha National Station. It is less than 100 meters walk. Opening hours: 8：00—17：00 Ticket price: 120, it is recommended to book tickets online, which is much cheaper. Highlights: root carvings, various root carvings, various large root carvings. Little Tips: The essence of the scenic spot is still a big park, suitable for baby strolling and leisure. It is recommended for a day trip on weekends.

The tree roots in the Expo Park are beautiful in art shape, especially (dead wood in spring) with tenacious vitality, and new tree roots grow from dead trees, which is very amazing 👍
