Remember 2019.11 Kansai late autumn trip~ Maple Leaf season came to Nara, Dongda Temple is a must-have place to enjoy the maple. Before I came, I didn't know that the scale of the East Temple was so large, with the Big Buddha Hall as the center, surrounded by the East and West Seven Towers, there are South Gate, there are lecture halls, there are Jietan Courtyards, there are Zhengcang Courtyards, there are February Halls, Fahua Halls, Kaishan Halls, etc. It is really magnificent. It is said that the Big Buddha Hall is the world's largest wooden building. It was just that it was late afternoon from Nara Park to Todaiji Temple, and there was not enough time to browse one by one, only entering the February hall of the temple. But just such a hasty and quick tour is enough to be shocked by the landscape of Red Maple. If you have the opportunity, you must come again!

Remember 2019.11 Kansai Late Autumn Walk~ Xingfu Temple is very close to Kintetsu Nara Station, just a few minutes walk away, and there are deer along the street. The highest temperature on this day in late November was 20 degrees. The huge venue of Xingfu Temple was just a few times in front of the temple and the high tower. I had been sweating. I came back and checked the information before I knew that Xingfu Temple contained so many buildings: there were Zhongjintang, Dongjintang, Nanyuantang, Beiyuantang, Five-Tower, Triple Tower, Dayutang, etc. At that time, I didn't carefully distinguish it, but I bought tickets to enter Zhongjintang to visit. You can't take pictures inside, everyone visits quietly and prays, and there are not many tourists. The monastery always gives people a sense of tranquility and peace, and feels relaxed and happy. Dongjintang is next to the five-fold tower, and Nanyuantang is a building with a hexagonal spire. Each temple should be purchased separately to enter.

Tang Zhaoti Temple in Nara is the temple built by the Japanese for Jianzhen after the arrival of the temple, and there are many monuments and structures left in the past.

Remember 2019.11 Kansai late autumn trip~ I had a long time playing with the deer that day, and I delayed the trip later. When I rushed to the February hall, it was approaching the evening. I was still a little regretful, but I didn't know that I met the most beautiful February hall. At the door leading to the February hall, a thick layer of golden ginkgo leaves on the ground was beautiful in an instant. Going inside, I saw a few photo enthusiasts, uncles and aunts, saying that the sun began to go down at this time, which was the most beautiful time to take pictures. I immediately looked up to see the temple was wrapped in red, yellow and green layers, and the sunset was shining, and I was immediately shaken. Climbing up the second floor, many tourists gathered here to look down at the palace and enjoy the sunset. Everyone quietly looked at the downtown Nara, looking at the mountains in the distance, against the red maple trees, the sunset golden light looked particularly soft, immersed in the beautiful picture given by nature, feel, enjoy.

🌈 Attraction features: Because the cartoon "Smart One Hugh" is known for the Golden Pavilion, the most eye-catching of course is the Golden Pavilion full of gold foil, the original one has been burned by a monk, and now this one is newly built decades ago, and the new one is of course much more beautiful than the old one. However, in addition to the Golden Pavilion, there are many other places worth seeing: 🎟️ Ticket related: 1. The ticket is very distinctive, and it is a Zhu Yinfu that can bless the whole family's safety and health (if it is a group tour, you must remember to find a tour guide to come back), the fare is very cheap, a dozen yuan. 🕐️ Scenic Area opening hours: 2, 9:00-17:00 (closes early, it is best to go forward at 16:00) 💗 Other tips: 3, there is a handwritten light yellow large-word newspaper at the gate, writing five rings, similar to the Chinese temples can not kill, can not eat meat and other rules, you can use WeChat to scan and translate, If you make a mistake, try not to go in 😂. 4. Come in and look at the Jinge Temple across the lake. This is the best landscape location. The flow of people will take you away. You must seize the opportunity. After passing this village, there is no such store. 5. On the east side of the lake is the abbot's abbot's house, the atmosphere is beautiful, can you go in to see the character. There is a pine tree bonsai at the entrance, one of the "Kyoto Sansong", the name is "Luzhou Song", trimmed into the appearance of a sailing ship, the bow rushes west, symbolizing the meaning of advocating the Western Bliss World. (Recently in the pruning solid type, below the shelf) 6, there is a small waterfall behind the Golden Pavilion Temple, there is a "squid stone" in front of the waterfall, here is called "squid jumping dragon gate", is also a place to pray. 7, "the white snake's head", the small minarets behind is the grave of the white snake, is the incarnation of wealth and wisdom. There were three statues and a coin-throwing bronze in front of them, but there were few coins in the bronze, and the three statues were full of potholes. 8, along the "shunlu" wooden sign, through a small earth slope, overlooking the entire Golden Pavilion Temple, here is also the ancient tea ceremony master's favorite tea place. 9. The Jinge Temple is built near the lake, and the lake is also a must. There are several small islands with five pines in the middle of the lake, which are unique in the traditional Japanese courtyard. 10. The Jinge Temple is small, but it has its unique Buddhist characteristics. The exit has a place for praying for blessings and signings. 11. Finally, when walking down the long ladder, don't forget to taste the special "golden powder matcha ice cream" (other article).

Fallon Temple half-day tour! Thanks to Miss Chen at the front desk of the hotel for her strong recommendation. JR Nara gets off at Falong Temple and changes the scenic circular bus! Prepare change to buy bus tickets! Tickets 🎫 all need cash! The red heart cherry blossoms of the temple are very beautiful! The old version of 10,000 yuan is like the head of the Saint De Prince! Spent 🎫 lucky to visit the Nakamiya Temple, the half-image of the Buddha, the Egyptian Sphinx, the Mona Lisa and called the "three smile statues of the world"!

A bit far from the city, I waited for 20 minutes from Tang Zhaoti Temple and didn't come by bus. I walked to the attraction for 16:28 minutes, only 30 minutes left! Really good!

Kyoto's Ohaka Shrine covers a large area. In a broad scale, it covers some small roads around branches and forks. There are many small shrines distributed, including large forests and lawns around, as well as many small restaurants, coffee shops and various snacks. Handicraft shops. Open 24 hours, another lively scene at night. This is not only a must-check-in place for tourists from all over the world, but also a place for local residents to take a leisure walk. At noon, there are a group of students, with lunch boxes on the grass, and noisy. The first time I came here was six years ago, and it didn't change at all, and I will definitely come again!

Remember 2019.11 Kansai Late Autumn Festival~ The first monastery in Kyoto. Only by bus can you reach it. After getting off the bus, go all the way up, passing restaurants and small shops along the way. The scenery along the way is also very beautiful, not slow, come to the 3,000 courtyard, very simple doorway. Buy tickets for admission, take off your shoes after entering, and visit along the sign. The 3,000 courtyards are large, and all kinds of trees and red maples are quite spectacular. If you want to go all over the courtyard, all the viewing is in place, it feels like it will take more than half a day. The scenery is so beautiful that I will linger. You can also pray for blessings in the courtyard and buy Yushou. The first trip to choose to come to the 3,000 courtyard is a wonderful start. By the way, it was the peak lunch hour when I came out of the 3,000 courtyard. The restaurants at the door were all full, hungry, and quickly found another way out.

Remember 2019.11 Kansai Late Autumn Festival~ Before coming to Kyoto, I was shocked by the beauty of various thousands of birds on the Internet, so once I came to Kyoto, thousands of birds are the first place to punch in. Although there are also bird houses in other shrines before, it is still amazing to see the thousand birds houses of Fushimi Inari so large. It's just that the thousand birds houses are so famous, and there are endless tourists coming to check in. It is really difficult to take beautiful photos without crowds. Although tourists are already very orderly, waiting in line to take pictures one by one, there are inevitably sporadic tourists who do not take pictures, and there are people coming over opposite, so it is impossible to realize those beautiful photos alone on the Internet. Or use the eyes and the heart to record, the beauty will live in the heart, will not fade. Fushimi Inari is very big, can not stay in one place for too much time.
