Regret coming to the treasure town of Anyue 2-day tour guide, find the most beautiful Buddha statue

To sum up in one sentence: Anyue is really worth it. This treasure town located in the "heart of Sichuan and Chongqing" is no less inferior to Dunhuang, Yungang and Longmen! Anyue is the hometown of stone carvings. The Bashu Grottoes and stone Buddha statues hidden in the countryside are the best of the best, and the stone keepers who have been sticking to it for decades deserve great respect❗ 👇2 days and 1 night, 30,000 steps of walking, recommended strategies for collection👇 【🚘Transportation method】 Charter/Self-drive: I chartered a car from Anyue County. The scenic spots here are all on country roads and are relatively scattered. It is recommended to charter a car for the first time; if you drive by yourself, you must pay special attention to narrow roads and forks. 【⏰Route Arrangement】 Because I was going to Dazu on the third day, I took the north route first and then the east route. If you live in Anyue County, you can take the south route first 😭 and wait for the "Tapo Sunset". I didn't wait for it ❗ Day 1: Anyue North Line 09:20 Depart from the Central Times Square in the county → 10:00 Yuanjue Cave ¥28🎫 → 11:00 Qianfo Village → 12:20 Mumen Temple → 13:20 Reclining Buddha Courtyard ¥10🎫 → 15:00 Foji Temple → 16:10 Xuanmiao Temple → 17:30 Back to the county Day 2: Anyue East Line 09:20 Depart from the Central Times Square in the county → 10:00 Tapo → 11:20 Banbian Temple → 12:10 Pilu Cave ¥18🎫 → 13:50 Huayan Cave ¥10🎫 → 14:50 Mingshan Temple → 16:20 Peacock Cave → 17:30 Arrive at the foot of Dazu Baoding Mountain —————— ·Time points are for reference 📝I am the type who likes to take photos and walk slowly, so I am not in a hurry overall ·Except for those marked with 🎫 tickets, others don’t need tickets. It depends on your heart. Please donate 10/20 to cultural relics protection 【🔥Personal recommendation top five🔝】 📍Tapo: Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely! The most beautiful Huayan Three Saints of the Northern Song Dynasty is here. You can wait until the sunset reflects the Buddha's face around 18:00, which is very sacred❗ ⚠️You need to stand on a chair and lie on the wooden window to watch, please pay attention to safety. 📍Bilu Cave: The Water Moon Guanyin herself is so gorgeous, exquisite and stunning 😭. It is easy to shoot at 180°. If you look at it for a long time, you will feel like crying. ⚠️The old man was very enthusiastic and helpful in explaining. 📍Mingshan Temple: The weathered Buddhist shrine allows us to truly see the effects of wind and time, as well as the meaning of "Buddha has no form". ⚠️The flower mosquitoes🦟 are so abundant that a big bump will appear in one bite. 😤 📍Banbian Temple: When Sakyamuni was preaching while holding a flower and looking at his disciples with lowered brows, one could really feel their compassion and tranquility, and it also embodies the oriental romantic aesthetic. ⚠️You can see the guardian grandpa’s bed and conditions, it’s really not easy. 📍Yuanjue Cave: It is relatively close to the county seat. There is a large niche carved in the Beiyan rock to create a giant Buddha. The Buddha statue has kind eyes and the original color can be seen. The flying figures in each cave are worth a closer look. ⚠️Explanation 100 As needed, there are detailed introductions on the left and right walls in the temple, please take pictures to keep them. Anyue is the hometown of stone carvings and lemons. I heard that sweet potato vermicelli is also a specialty. It is really worth arranging a visit before it becomes popular. 👇Just came back yesterday📝Any questions will be answered👇
