The misty rain added a mysterious beauty, overlooking the Yuzhong Peninsula, it was even more beautiful than on a sunny day!

Tu Shan Temple is located on Nanshan in the Nan'an District. You can drive there directly with GPS, or take bus 384 to Tu Shan Temple station and walk for about 10 minutes to reach the destination. The temple is built along the mountain, and with the towering mountain terrain, ancient trees reaching the sky, and green trees all around, the eight temple halls with their flying eaves and rising corners are very majestic and solemn. The Nanshan area is all sloping hillsides, so it's recommended to wear comfortable shoes. Laojun Cave, Yikeshu Viewing Platform, and Huangjiaoya Old Street are all nearby, and they are all worth a casual visit. Of course, there are also loquat gardens on Nanshan, and at night you can enjoy hotpot (during the day you can try spring water chicken). The temple has an entrance fee of five yuan, which you can purchase on site. Inside the temple, there is tea drinking, and when the weather is good, there are quite a few people. It's also five yuan per person, and you can overlook the scenery of the two rivers of Yuzhong Peninsula and Jiangbeizui, which is very pleasant. If you are a photography enthusiast, this will be a good choice. However, there are some places where it is not advisable to sit next to, as it may be inappropriate. Moreover, Tu Shan Temple has a long history, dating back to times that are no longer traceable. It is said that in ancient times, when Yu the Great controlled the waters, he married Tushan Shi on Tushan, and the ancients built the "Yu King Temple" on the mountain to commemorate Yu's great achievements in water control. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the scale of the temple began to expand, and Zhenwu Temple was merged with the old site of Yu King Temple, hence people referred to it as "Tu Shan Temple". The temple has a long history and the architecture is quite compact, not very large, but the incense offerings are particularly prosperous. When I went there, it happened to be the fifth day of the lunar month, and there was a God of Wealth Hall in the innermost part, just in time to worship and welcome the God of Wealth! Tu Shan Temple The vegetarian food inside is also good, especially the tofu pudding, which is very authentic. The twice-cooked pork and pickled pepper pig liver are also good (of course, they are vegetarian).
