Lingquan Temple is located on Lingquan Mountain in Chuanshan District, Suining City, Sichuan Province. It was first built during the Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty and was initially named Shengfo Temple. During the Song Dynasty, it was renamed Zisheng Chan Monastery. After being rebuilt, it was named after the mountain. The temple is built against the mountain and is divided into an upper temple and a lower temple. The existing buildings include the Mahavira Hall and Guanyin Pavilion. The Lingquan Spring on the mountaintop never dries up or overflows all year round. Su Shi of the Northern Song Dynasty wrote a poem called "Seven Springs" to praise it, and Lin Zexu inscribed the plaque "Xianglin Deshui".

We visited the Song Dynasty Porcelain Museum on July 3rd and happened to catch the free explanation at 10 am. We were pleasantly surprised. The girl in charge of the explanation was knowledgeable and serious. She explained the exhibition diligently for 2 and a half hours and gave us a great experience. I would like to express my sincere thanks to her. The Song Dynasty Porcelain Museum has rich collections, exquisite and beautiful, which makes people linger. Thumbs up 👍. It is worth going.

Shede is the best-designed guided tour among the wineries I've visited so far. The layout is well-planned; you barely need to walk outdoors, there are various shuttle buses, and interactive tastings are available. We arrived at 12:50 PM according to the website's opening hours, only to be told there was a guided tour at 1:20 PM. So arriving early was pointless. The recommended tour order is: 1. Modern production workshop; 2. Tai'an workshop; 3. Fangzun wine castle; 4. Factory storage tanks; 5. Golden Valley 312 koji-making garden. The entire tour takes about an hour. Shede's six-grain strong-aroma liquor has a pleasant sweetness on the palate, a rich aroma in the mid-palate, well-developed grain notes, a long finish, and a clean body. It truly lives up to its reputation as one of the "Six Golden Flowers" of Sichuan liquor.

It is said to be Zi'ang's hometown, but in fact the front mountain is Jinhua Mountain - Jinhua Taoist Temple, and the back mountain is where Chen Zi'ang studied. Jinhua Taoist Temple is also known as one of the four major Taoist temples in Sichuan, and the back mountain is Chen Zi'ang's study platform. Next to it is the Fu River, and there are ferries running in the river. There are many fish restaurants at the gate.

Guanyin Lake is located in the middle reaches of the Fu River and in the center of Suining City. There are three islands in the lake, namely Shenglian Island, Shengping Island and Shenglu Island. It is the core of Suining City's adherence to the "ecological priority and lake-embracing development" and an important part of Suining's "three waters, two mountains and one city". The Guanyin Lake Wetland Scenic Area is divided into two parts: the colorful road landscape belt and the Guanyin Cultural Park. The colorful road landscape belt is located on the east bank of Guanyin Lake. It is a narrow strip of landscape, divided into four sections: sports and leisure area, ecological experience area (wetland park), fashion business area, and green theme area. The Guanyin Cultural Park is located on the east side of the Hedong New District, close to the Lianmeng River, a tributary of Guanyin Lake. It is a strip terrain. It is divided into five sections: life, wisdom, kindness, worship, and crossing with Guanyin culture as the theme. Through the creation of five Guanyin cultural nodes, people can experience the Guanyin cultural atmosphere in person, let their hearts return to Guanyin's hometown, and show Suining's inherent Guanyin culture and unique urban style. Fully excavate and restore the Guanyin cultural sites and monuments that have been buried in the city, so that the city can fully reflect the Guanyin culture, and then promote and inherit the Guanyin culture. Take a yacht, speedboat, or pleasure boat to enjoy the flowers, enjoy the water, and watch the film show... Feel the unique beauty of mountains, water, islands, and city scenery in the city, and the city in the scenery, and feel the rare summer comfort.

Shenglian Island is located in the middle of the Fujiang River in Chuanshan District of Suining. It is an alluvial island. The entire island is very large and well-greened. It is themed with lotus flowers. It feels very good to enjoy the breeze and take a walk by the river.
