The most underrated place I visited this year, and I was afraid of it.

Guangshan, a seriously underrated treasure city. Guangshan is a historic city and a city of wisdom. The story of Sima Guang smashing the vat in elementary school textbooks happened here. Guangshan is also a red city, the ancestral home of Deng Yingchao, the wife of the great man Premier Zhou, is here. It is also the main residence of Liu Deng and the Central Plains Party, government, and military organs during the Long March to Dabie Mountain. It is the decision-making place of the Long March of the Red 25th Army, where the main Red Army such as the Red Fourth Front Army, the Red 25th Army, and the Red 28th Army were born, and where founding generals such as Qian Jun, You Taizhong, and Wan Haifeng came from. There is Jingju Temple, the ancestral court of the Tiantai Sect of Buddhism Sima Guang's former residence takes us back to the scene of the story Deng Yingchao's ancestral home lets us feel the glorious deeds of the great man Premier Zhou and Sister Deng 🚝Transportation: -High-speed rail: You can take the high-speed rail to Xinyang East Station, transfer to a car to Guangshan, and then take a taxi -Train: Take a regular train to Guangshan Station and take a taxi -Self-driving: 2 hours from Wuhan, 4 hours from Zhengzhou Recommended check-in places: ✅Sima Guang's former residence: As the place where the story of Sima Guang smashing the vat happened, the attraction recreates the scene of the story.

In the scenic spot, we can learn about the life stories of a generation of great people and remember the great contributions made by the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries to the revolution. ✅Jingju Temple: Also known as "Chici Fantian Temple", it is the birthplace of the first Buddhist sect in China - Tiantai Sect. The three different trees with the same root inside are really amazing. Standing on the Ziyun Tower and looking down, you can truly experience the artistic conception of "When you reach the top, you can see all the mountains". ✅Zhonggulou Parent-child Park: A national 4A-level tourist attraction, it is the only and largest parent-child park in southern Henan and northern Hubei.

Among the lakes and mountains, there are moving pictures everywhere. Its beauty and uniqueness make people feel infinite nostalgia.
