Shengshui Temple Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
A day trip to Mianyang, a city near Chengdu, feeding seagulls and visiting temples
Recently, I visited a beautiful city near Chengdu - Mianyang, which is only a short 30-minute high-speed train ride from Chengdu, which is very convenient. In the morning, I took a high-speed train from Chengdu, and the scenery outside the window quickly passed by, as if telling me the story of Mianyang. 30 minutes later, I set foot on the land of Mianyang and started my day trip. First, I went to Kangfuyuan Old Kaiyuan Rice Noodle Shop. The rice noodles here are really delicious, with a rich soup base, rich side dishes, and very affordable prices. The service attitude of the waiters in the shop is very good, which makes me feel the enthusiasm and friendliness of the people of Mianyang. Then, I went to Shenshui Temple and Luohan Temple. These two temples are ancient temples with a long history and deep cultural heritage, which made me feel a strong Buddhist cultural atmosphere. Especially in Luohan Temple, I saw many different forms of Luohan statues, which were really shocking. After lunch, I went to Majia Lane Snack Street. The snacks here are really rich, with all kinds of flavors. I tried the local cold dip and oil tea, which were really delicious. And the prices of the snacks here are very affordable, which makes me eat happily and satisfied. In the evening, I came to Sanjiang Peninsula Square. This is a good place to enjoy the beautiful night view of Mianyang and get close to seagulls. I bought some bread to feed them, watching them soar in the sky and compete for food, which was really interesting. The whole day trip in Mianyang made me feel the beauty and unique charm of this city. Whether it's food, culture or scenery, it has left a deep impression on me. If you also want to experience the beauty of this city, why not take a trip to Mianyang! Imagine that you are in a bustling square, surrounded by various stalls and shops. Suddenly, you notice a small stall with a simple sign hanging on it, which reads: 'Hot Sale in the Square: 5 yuan each'. You come closer and find that they are various small ornaments and souvenirs. This price is simply a bargain, so you buy one without hesitation. Then, your eyes are attracted by an ancient temple, which is Shenshui Temple. This temple is adjacent to Luohan Temple, and the distance between them is very close, as if they are brothers. It is recommended that you go to Shenshui Temple first, and then you can directly go to Luohan Temple, they are connected. Walking into Shenshui Temple, you will see many exquisitely carved Buddha statues. These Buddha statues are lifelike, as if they want to tell you some profound stories about Buddhism. Continue to move forward, you will come to the entrance of Luohan Temple. There is a long and steep ladder here. If you feel too tired, you can choose to go directly from Shenshui Temple. The atmosphere of Luohan Temple makes you feel as if you have gone to Thailand. There are white pagoda groups there, which are very suitable for taking pictures. Every corner is full of exoticism, as if telling different stories. Here, you can explore and take pictures to your heart's content, recording your travel experience. The whole process of visiting the square, Shenshui Temple and Luohan Temple is full of exploration and surprises. Every discovery makes you have a deeper understanding of this city. And the souvenirs and photos you bought will become precious memories of your travel.
Shengshui Temple Travelogue: A Journey of the Soul or a Photo Check-in Spot?
Hey, friends! Last weekend, on a whim, I visited the legendary Shengshui Temple. ✨ This place, how should I put it, is both a baptism for the soul and a popular spot for social media check-ins.
📸 As soon as I stepped into the temple, I was captivated by the ancient architectural beauty. Every casual snapshot felt like a masterpiece, no wonder so many people come here to take photos. 🍁 Leaves falling with the autumn breeze, landing on the ancient stone-paved paths, every step felt like walking on the traces of history.
🧘♂️ Then there's the sense of tranquility that really calms the mind. Sitting under an ancient tree, closing your eyes to listen to the chanting, it's as if all worries are carried away by the wind. 🌾 The surrounding greenery is also super healing, a fresh stream in the midst of the city.
🤔 However, I couldn't help but notice that some areas were a bit too commercialized. Stalls selling souvenirs were everywhere, sometimes making it feel a bit out of place. 🛍️ But on second thought, this is also a way for them to maintain the temple, right?
In conclusion, I want to say that Shengshui Temple is truly a place worth visiting. Whether you're looking for inner peace or want to take beautiful photos, this place can satisfy you. Don't you think? For those who have been, what was your experience like? See you in the comments~ 🌈

Sichuan Province, Mianyang City, Xianhai Lake, the water and sky are the same color.
The water area of Xianhai Scenic Area is 7 square kilometers, while the rest is made up of peninsulas of varying sizes. The land area is vast, with a planned area of 43.28 square kilometers for a national tourist resort, and an initial development area of 13.8 square kilometers.
The total area of the scenic area is 75 square kilometers. According to the overall plan prepared by the China Urban Planning and Design Institute, the construction goal of Xianhai Water Conservancy Scenic Area is to become a distinctive national tourist resort and a model area for urban-rural coordinated development in Mianyang City.
The core area centered on Xianhai Lake is composed of 6.8 square kilometers of shallow hills and low mountains and 7 square kilometers of water surface. The forest coverage rate reaches 90%, and the vertical depth of the lake surface reaches 3.8 kilometers, forming 46 exquisite peninsulas. The peninsulas are interlaced, the lake shore is winding, and the mooring shore is more than 40 kilometers long. The natural environment is "mountains embracing water, water flooding mountains" and "mountains lining water, water reflecting mountains". The combination of mountains, water, and colors forms a natural picture of water and milk blending. The water quality is clear and is a secondary surface water source. There are also diverse animals and plants such as cormorants, egrets, wild fish schools, and ginkgo trees.
4 scenic areas involve aspects such as meetings, catering, accommodation, entertainment, water sports, and land-based cycling and fitness activities.
In 2015, the resort area successfully obtained the titles of "National AAAA-level Tourist Scenic Spot", "Provincial Tourist Resort", "Provincial Ecotourism Demonstration Zone" and "Provincial Safe Community" all at once.
In 2016, 2.146 million tourists were received and the total tourism revenue was 268 million yuan. Xianhai has become one of the important destinations for leisure and vacation for Chengdu and Mianyang residents in the suburbs.
Ticket:
There is no admission fee for lake tour, but you need to rent a boat. There are many types of boats available. Many activities are cancelled after summer, and now they are roughly divided into three categories: electric boats at 120 yuan per hour, pedal boats at 80 yuan per hour, and passenger ships charged per person. In addition, overtime will be charged every half hour.
Take advantage of the good weather, escape the city, go to nature yourself, and experience a romantic day.

The scenic area has entertainment facilities, and parents can take their children to play there on weekends.
In summer, there are many mosquitoes on the lakeside boardwalk, so be sure to protect yourself from mosquito bites before playing.
