In the Wuxie Scenic Area, there is a secluded Zen-style homestay Yaojia·Zenjoy A very special Zen hotel I accidentally found this newly opened hotel when I was traveling in Wuxie. It has a great sense of design. The hotel entrance is a stream, and there are egrets in the stream, squirrels on the trees, Wuxie Zen across the stream, and the famous Wuxie waterfall outside the wall. The room facilities are high-end The room type is very good, with Toto's smart toilet cover, Nestle's coffee machine, automatic curtains and blinds, welcome fruit when you enter the door, and also arranged incense box and scriptures, which fits the theme of the homestay, very thoughtful. Few people, the experience is great The key is that it is extremely quiet after the scenic area closes at four o'clock. The next morning, the Wuxie Zen Temple across the street rings the morning bell, accompanied by bursts of Zen music, which is very out of the world and purifies the soul. After getting up and climbing Wuxie, it is extremely comfortable.

The first stop of Zhuji is the Wuxie Scenic Area. The most famous of the Wuxie Scenic Area is the Wuxie Waterfall. It is famous for its beauty and skill. The entire waterfall group bends and falls with the mountains, forming a five-level waterfall with a length of 334 meters and a drop of 81 meters. It meets from beginning to end, from small to large, from low to high, first slow and then urgent, if it is continued, if it is hidden, or if it is twisted and twisted, or presented in front of people with bold and heroic. People can go down from the bottom up.

I happened to meet the tea party here, and the woman in the tea dress sat on the mat, and all the tricks were with the beauty of Zen. The spring sun is not very glaring, bathing in the sun, drinking a cup of tea, life is fun. There are many bamboo forests in the scenic area, and everything grows in spring, and bamboo is no exception. After the spring thunder and spring rain, the bamboo shoots will grow wildly and break out of the ground. It belongs to the scenic spot. Naturally, no one will dig bamboo shoots here, so it is quite empty and beautiful. Follow the road all the way up, you can hear the sound of the water flowing in the middle of the road. Yes, we are almost ready to arrive. Water snoring, rushing down. There are stones in the water to block the flow of water. Going up again, it was at the edge of the waterfall, and the waterfall slid down and splashed. The middle bridge of the river is mainly composed of stones. When crossing the river, it jumps on the stone and seems to have returned to childhood. A lot of tourists take a group photo here. The location of Donglong Temple is steep, with cliffs and cliffs on both sides. The walls and the towering peaks of the Hanyu Peak and the Jasper Peak stand on both sides, adding resonance and majesty to the waterfall. Five vents are at the bottom, and there are 4, 3, 2, 1 vents up, the scenery is different, some are delicate, some are magnificent. If you have energy, you can go up and take a look at the different changes here.

Zhuji Wuxie Scenic Area is located 23 kilometers northwest of Zhuji City. Walk through the wisteria flower stand and arrive at the pier. This lake is called the Wushui Pool, also known as the Wuxie Reservoir. Walking along such a mottled road, the beautiful scenery is waiting for us in front. In the distance, I met a pavilion on the right hand side. The green leaves outside the court were new, the branches were drooping, and there was a feeling of "willow sticks." Sunlight poured through the gaps in the leaves, mottled the road. This pavilion is not special, but because of the scenery outside the window, beauty has become a painting. The trees here are all grown in the water, the water is deep to the waist of the trees, and the reflection in the sun is perfect. The natural dumping of trees forms a shape like a bridge. The trees grow in the water, and the water completes the perfect symbiosis. Such a variety of shapes, looking at the lush at first glance, is like the summer.
