From purity they come, to purity they return: The stunning blossoms of Magnolia in Beichuan, Mianyang
Looking forward to the sea of flowers in March, Magnolia is definitely one of them.
Tall and graceful like the Magnolia, which only grows above 1000 meters altitude, the perfect climate, ample sunshine... all are indispensable. Blooming once a year, once cherished for a lifetime.
Every year from March to April, thousands of Magnolia trees in Yaowang Valley compete to bloom, covering the hills in flowers, as if a splash of ink and powder has hit you, forming a spectacular high-altitude sea of flowers. Some are as big as bowls, others as small as teacups.
According to the latest flower period observation of Huaxi Scenic Spot, the Magnolia bloom in Jiuhuang Mountain this year lasts from mid-March to April. The first phase (subjective scenery platform) has a large and concentrated number of buds, making it an excellent spot for flower viewing this year.
Starting March 8th, the 12th Ancient Tree Magnolia Festival at Jiuhuang Mountain kicks off. Visitors wearing Hanfu or ethnic costumes can enter the scenic area for free from March 8th to April 7th.
Mianyang Beichuan Magnolia bloom forecast, bloom time and location:
First phase March 15th-31st at Huaxi Scenic Wangjia Courtyard.
Second phase March 28th-April 14th at Huaxi Scenic Yuanbao Mountain.
Third phase April 4th-30th at Jiuhuang Mountain main scenic area Qiangqing Garden.
Information on the three phases of flower viewing:
The first phase near Wangjia Courtyard, early bloom, close distance, and rich activities, suitable for most outdoor flower enthusiasts.
The second phase at Yuanbao Mountain is hidden deep in the mountains at an altitude of a kilometer, this pink fairyland maintains its original, natural scenery. It takes about 40 minutes to walk from the first phase viewing platform to the second phase base, requiring your patience to find.
The third phase of Magnolia is near the Qiangqing Garden in the main scenic area of Jiuhuang Mountain, at an altitude of about 2000 meters, blooming later. Besides flower viewing, you can also watch Qiang ethnic wedding performances, go bare-handed hunting, dig wild vegetables, and pick wild chicken eggs, experiencing the mountain life.
The annual Mianyang Magnolia bloom has arrived as scheduled, with its radiant beauty attracting many tourists to check in. From purity they come, to purity they return, a cluster of pink and white in its essence. This weekend will be the best moment for the Magnolia to bloom. I wonder if the flower viewers are willing to form a good bond with it?
Tips: When viewing Magnolia, the bloom period may vary slightly according to the climate. The specific blooming time is affected by the local climate environment, and the peak bloom period is subject to actual conditions.
For more strategies, you can refer to Ctrip to make good plans.
A romantic date with the magnolia flowers in the springtime around Chengdu
Every year at this time, the magnolia flowers on Jiuhuang Mountain bloom beautifully, and this year was no exception as my boyfriend and I checked in at the 20th Magnolia Flower Festival (opposite the main scenic area at Huaxi Scenic Spot).
Different from previous years, the magnolia flowers bloomed a little later this year, but now that I'm here, the mountains are still beautifully covered with pink and purple magnolia flowers. This time, we went straight to the viewing platform, lit a pot for boiling tea, and sat under the trees among the flowers to enjoy the tea and blossoms. Seeing many people taking photos in Qiang costumes, I couldn't resist trying on an outfit that 'blended' with the magnolia flowers.
There's also a special event recently: if you wear Hanfu or ethnic costumes to visit Jiuhuang Mountain from March 8 to April 14 (during the Huaxi Scenic Spot opening period), you get free admission to the scenic area! (On March 23, free admission to the scenic area + Huaxi Scenic Spot sightseeing car ticket). This offer lasts until March 23.
I hadn't been taking photos for long when I heard that there would be flash mob events at 11:30 am and 12:30 pm every day at the main viewing platform of Huaxi Scenic Spot and Wang's Courtyard. There would be lively folk performances, and since I was right by the viewing platform, I managed to get a great spot to watch the show. The festival atmosphere during the performance was particularly strong, and everyone was very enthusiastic, even clamoring for more after it ended, haha.
After the performance, we went to the Yunzhong Farm Restaurant on the back mountain. They launched a 'Wild Food·Spring Day Wild Feast' hot pot set meal, all original wild flavors. Although I might not be used to some of the tastes, the overall experience was very good.

Shengshui Temple Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
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.

Mianyang Shengshui Temple | The treasure ancient temple that has been asked about in the circle of friends
✨Shengshui Temple is famous for its agricultural spring holy water, originally named "Ganquan Temple", its history can be traced back to the Tang Yonghui period, it has a history of more than 1300 years, with a long history and profound cultural heritage. Over the centuries, Shengshui Temple has been revived and declined several times, and finally, under the maintenance of the masters and many disciples, after many years of hard work, this thousand-year-old ancient temple has been renewed.
-
✨These statues are newly made in recent years, made of cement into hundreds of statues of various shapes and forms, breaking the traditional rules of creation, introducing many new modeling techniques, modern, exaggerated, not stereotyped. From a distance, it is very eye-catching, giving a particularly shocking visual feeling.

🏯【Shengshui Temple】and【Luohan Temple】are adjacent, together they construct a whole mountain scale, magnificent Buddhist country scenery.
✨The group of Buddha statues on both sides of the auspicious gate steps, in various shapes and forms, are wonderful~
🔸Each Arhat rides a divine dragon, rides a winged tiger, straddles a dragon fish, or stands on a unicorn, wild and unrestrained, with fluttering belts, galloping in the sea of clouds~
🔸Some Arhats have long eyebrows and beards, and the faces of immortals. Some Arhats have a bit of evil, or greedy and cunning faces, or glaring eyes, full of madness~
🔸I thought it was a chaotic scene, but the solemn Manjusri Bodhisattva in the center suppressed the whole scene, which was very amazing.
🔸The flying fairies on both sides, thin and charming, with fluttering clothes, form a sharp contrast with several female Bodhisattvas, with strange beasts in the sky and colorful phoenixes coming.
🔸The whole group of statues is extremely shocking, and the details are extremely delicate when viewed separately. When the sun sets, it's incredibly beautiful.
.
✨It's not good to take pictures in the main hall, the solemn and exquisite Avalokitesvara in the Guanyin Hall, the colorful Thousand Eyes and Thousand Hands Avalokitesvara in the Great Compassion Hall, the historical sense of the group of vermilion along the golden tiles in each hall and the mystery and solemnity of the temple itself are all coming to the face, very suitable for sightseeing and worshiping Buddha~

I made a special trip to Mianyang to see these two temples, Shenshui Temple and Luohan Temple in Mianyang. These two temples are connected together. After entering, I felt very shocked. Although these two temples are next to each other, their architectural styles are completely different.
I wish all the best for the photo shoot.
Friends who come to Mianyang for a tour, must check in these two temples, you will fall in love with them.
Shenshui Temple
Coming here gives me a feeling of a small Leiyin Temple. Through the auspicious gate, you can see nearly a hundred statues of different shapes, almost all of which are newly built in recent years. Seeing it already feels solemn and shocking!! It's a shock that can't be captured by a mobile phone! The air and scenery along the mountain are very good for climbing, hiking, burning incense, and eating vegetarian meals... By the way, the incense here is also prosperous.
The road down from Shenshui Temple leads to Luohan Temple. After climbing 260 steps, you can see a completely different scenery from Shenshui Temple~ The tall white stupa, the photo is super out of the picture. There are 800 golden-bodied arhats in the indoor Arhat Hall, and as you walk, you will be surprised to find a golden Buddha statue! It's too shocking!

Climbing the Yue Wang Tower, one can see 'The tower is a hundred feet high, and one can pluck the stars with their hands'
Yue Wang Tower, located in Mianyang City, Sichuan Province, faces the Fujiang River. It was built by Li Zhen, the eighth son of Emperor Taizong of Tang, when he was the governor of Mianzhou. It was built during the Xianqing period of Emperor Gaozong of Tang (656-661 AD), and the tower was ten zhang (about 100 feet) high, ranking first among the four famous towers at the time (Tengwang Pavilion was nine zhang high, Yellow Crane Tower was six zhang high, and Yueyang Tower was three zhang high).
Yue Wang Tower has been damaged and rebuilt several times. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, a large fire destroyed most of the tower, and it was extensively repaired during the Yuan Dynasty. A fire in the Ming Dynasty completely destroyed it, leaving only the Yue Wang Platform, and all the cultural relics were destroyed and disappeared. After that, the 'Yue Wang Tower' was unknown for a long time.
The Yue Wang Tower was rebuilt from 1989 to 2011. The main building is now 99 meters high, with 15 floors inside and outside, and the style is Tang-style overhanging eaves and hip roof. The height of 99 meters is still the highest among the imitation ancient buildings in the country (the current Tengwang Pavilion is 57.2 meters high, the Yellow Crane Tower is 52.6 meters high, the Guanque Tower is 72 meters high, and the Yueyang Tower is 32 meters high), hence the saying 'Yue Wang Tower is domineering, Yellow Crane Tower is atmospheric, Tengwang Pavilion is talented, Yueyang Tower is elegant'.
What's different about the Yue Wang Tower?
Floors 1-5 are pavilions, the second floor in the north and south directions are halls, floors 10-13 are towers, the 15th floor is a pavilion, the top is like a pagoda, each floor has an outline, in the Tang-style overhanging eaves and hip roof style, combining pavilions, towers, pavilions, halls, corridors, and pagodas. On the Yue Wang Tower, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire Mianyang City. When the lights are on, the Yue Wang Tower shines even more in the night. Looking at the light show on the opposite bank, an ancient Mianyang and a Mianyang full of technology blend here, and for a moment it seems to be traveling through two time and space, feeling the unique atmosphere of the blend of ancient and modern.
Yue Wang Tower / The tower is a hundred feet high
Introduction to Yue Wang Tower: Yue Wang Tower is located in Fucheng District, Mianyang City, Sichuan Province. It is a historic ancient building that was built in the 16th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1418) and has a history of more than 600 years through the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Yue Wang Tower is a three-story tower, 18 meters high. Outside the building, there is a stone tower, 16 meters high. The body of the tower is engraved with the four characters 'Yue Wang Tower'. Inside the building, there is a stone carving, which is a statue of Yue Wang Goujian. The statue is 1.8 meters high. Inside the building, there is also a stone stele, on which the four characters 'Yue Wang Tower' are engraved. The stele is 1.6 meters high. The body of the stele is also engraved with the story of Yue Wang Goujian. Yue Wang Tower is an important cultural relic of Mianyang City and a historical and cultural attraction of Mianyang City. Every year, a large number of tourists come to visit.

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.
Check-in route: Xianhai Scenic Area has a large area, and it takes 4-5 hours to walk on foot. Friends with good physical strength can challenge it.
The main attractions are the pier and the beach, both of which require payment. The beach is relatively far and can be reached by taking the scenic area sightseeing car. The pier can be reached by taking a boat to tour the lake.
Xianhai Lake has a cycling greenway where you can challenge yourself by riding a bike (we recommend using a road bike with drop handlebars, it's super fun) or drive a car and cycle around. Remember to wear a helmet and stay safe during the ride.
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.
