Be a Kyoto Zen Monk for a Day near Fuzhou! Stay in a Fairy-tale B&B from Wang Yangming's Poems

Just back from Fuqing! I unlocked a treasure route through Chinese and Japanese culture— During the day, I was a Zen girl at the Huangbo Mountain Wanfu Temple Scenic Area, and at night, I stayed at a Wang Yangming-themed B&B. My WeChat Moments was flooded with questions like, "Where in Japan is this?!" Actually, it's only a 1-hour drive from Fuzhou! 🏯3 Must-Do's at Huangbo Mountain Wanfu Temple 1⃣ Check in at the ancestral home of Japanese Buddhism 👉🏻 The dojo of the eminent monk Yinyuan before he traveled east to Japan at the end of the Ming Dynasty, over 100 years older than the Wanfu Temple in Kyoto! 👉🏻 Tang-style architecture + Japanese dry landscape gardens. Wear a *hanfu* and take atmospheric photos under the thousand-year-old ginkgo trees. 2⃣ Eat *Shojin Ryori* (Buddhist cuisine) 🍱 Vegetarian eel rice + matsutake soup made according to Ming Dynasty recipes, so delicious it'll make your tongue tingle! 3⃣ Collect stamps and pray for blessings 🕊 The temple houses 9 seals with quotes from Master Yinyuan (collect them all to exchange for a consecrated bookmark!) ✨Magical Highlights✨ ✔ Smart Zen rooms: voice-controlled lighting + tea table and tea set ✔ Night exploration artifact: carry a lantern and stroll along Liqiao Ancient Street, taking stunning photos of the river view and fireworks. ✔ The ultimate in toiletries: thisworks deep sleep shower gel + AutoBot ultra-high-speed negative ion hairdryer, instantly transforming you into a pampered guest. Click the bottom left corner to get the same "Zen Package" and be the cultural ambassador of your WeChat Moments!👉
