Trees full of blossoms, a single tree heralds spring; it must be this place they speak of
I had planned to wait until the Labor Day holiday to visit the cool and refreshing Qingshansi Temple to see the pagoda trees in bloom.
But the unpredictable rain spurred a sudden trip.
Indeed, I chose the right time to come, half a day's annual leave was not wasted.
Half the blossoms on the branches, half fallen; it's truly too beautiful.
I happened to encounter a young lady with her ragdoll princess, and I got to take many photos

A must-visit at Yu Mountain, the magical Guanyin statue
Sanfeng Temple, located at the northern foot of Yu Mountain, should also be one of the must-visit spots in the Yu Mountain scenic area of Changshu. Unfortunately, it is quite far from several core areas of Yu Mountain, and the climb up the stairs can be tiring. Many tourists are reluctant to visit, and even if they do, they just wander around at the bottom.
In fact, not only is the scenery here beautiful and serene, but the temple also has a considerable scale and a long history.
The bronze Guanyin statue at the very top is exquisitely crafted, consisting of four statues from the front, back, left, and right. The one in the front holds a pure water bottle, sprinkling it towards the human world with a willow branch, relieving suffering and difficulty. The two statues on the sides represent the Guanyin of sending children. Interestingly, one statue holds a boy, and the other holds a girl. Pilgrims come here to take what they need, and their prayers are answered. This also reflects the great compassion of the Guanyin Bodhisattva, who embodies gender equality and universal love in the world.
