Xinxiang, a sacred place where one can climb high and see far, feeling close to the divine. There, the Jiulian Mountain seems like a paradise on earth, captivating the heart and soul. The morning bus in Xinxiang city takes us to the Baligou scenic area. The design of the through ticket is ingenious, allowing one to enjoy both Jiulian Mountain and Baligou with a single ticket, truly a value beyond price. Jiulian Mountain, surrounded by a ring of mountains, resembles a blooming lotus flower, embracing the village and temples tightly. The incense here is thriving, with believers coming from all directions to offer their sincere prayers to the deities in their hearts. Walking on the trails of Jiulian Mountain, the melodious sound of temple bells fills my ears, and an inexplicable sense of peace arises within me. The people around, whether in a hurry or leisurely, all carry a devout heart, moving forward slowly. Here, I seem to be able to feel the compassion and wisdom of the Buddha statues, and hear their response to the voice of my heart. As I stand on the summit of Jiulian Mountain, looking down at the continuous mountains, a surge of lofty aspirations wells up inside me. Climbing high and looking far is not just to appreciate the beautiful scenery, but also to find inner peace and strength.
