Wuxi Nianhuawan Zen Town is positioned as a "spiritual resort".

Judging from this positioning, the gameplay of this Zen town is definitely different from ordinary attractions. You cannot feel the beauty of Nianhua Bay by simply visiting the attractions. According to my personal experience, I go to Nianhua Bay 5-6 times a year for photography and photography.

The experience of staying here has summarized five special ways to play in Nianhua Bay: the first way to play: watch the "Zen Walk" performance at night; the second way to play: live in a Zen village in Nianhua Bay for one night; the third way to play

The first way to play: experience the unique Zen food; the fourth way to play: experience the incense ceremony, tea ceremony, and copy scriptures; the fifth way to play: watch the sunset at the Brahma Flower Sea and the pagoda.

If you want to fully experience the beauty of these five ways of playing, then staying one night in the Zen cottage in Nianhua Bay has become a necessary experience.

The first way to play in Nianhua Bay: watch the night "Zen Walk" performance. Zen walking performance is the biggest feature of Nianhua Bay, and it is also the climax of all the itineraries in Nianhua Bay.

The "Zen Walk" performance in Nianhuawan is different from the immersive performances in other scenic spots across the country such as "Impression of West Lake" and "Impression of Lijiang". Although the sound, light, electricity and stage effects used by them are similar, the performance of Nianhuawan

The content of the performances is mainly based on the history and insights of Buddhist culture. It has a kind of soul-touching beauty, and all performances have been included in the Nianhua Bay tickets. Unlike other scenic spots, you need to buy tickets, which can easily cost thousands of dollars, which is particularly unacceptable.

miss.

The "Zen Walk" performance in Nianhua Bay starts at 18:00 every night and ends around 21:30. It includes four main performances: 1. "One Reed Crossing the River" performance at Xianri Square in Mid-Levels, performance time

: 18:30 - 21:10 (circulation); 2. Nianhua Tower Lighting Ceremony at Nianhua Tower Square, performance time: 19:00-21:00, once every half hour; 3. "Flowers Blooming" at Wudeng Lake Square

"Five Leaves" performance, performance time: 18:45, 19:00 (two simplified versions), 19:15, 19:45, 20:15, 20:45 (four actors version); 4? Smile Square's "

Nian Hua Yi Smile" performance, performance time: 2 performances every night: 19:10, 20:00 (the specific time is adjusted according to the season).

These four performances, bathing the soul, are definitely not to be missed.

The second way to play Nianhua Bay: Stay one night in a Zen village in the scenic area. As a spiritual resort, you need a place to stay quietly and contemplate your heart. This is why there are dozens of tourist attractions in the Nianhua Bay scenic area.

The reason for the hundreds of Zen cottages. These Zen cottages are similar to B&Bs, but different from B&Bs. They are designed with "spiritual vacation" as the core experience. Therefore, the creation of the accommodation environment fully reflects

In line with the original intention of Buddhism that the heart and nature are integrated, each village has a traditional style of architectural form and materials, earth walls, thatched roofs, log materials, simple bricks... Nianhuawan Zen Cottage Area

, completely integrated with the entire Nianhuawan Scenic Area, distributed in Brahma Flower Sea, Ginkgo Valley, Luming Valley, Xiangyue Flower Street, etc., there are various styles of cottages, typical representatives include "a pine in front of the door"

", "One Flower, One World", "Bangdou", etc. Each of these cottages has its own unique courtyard landscape, and the internal facilities are also different. They are specially equipped with incense sets, tea sets, four treasures of the study for copying scriptures, etc.

The smell of books is strong and the environment is very quiet.

The third way to play in Nianhua Bay: experience unique Zen food; food is an experience that cannot be ignored during travel.

There are also a variety of delicacies in the Nianhuawan Scenic Area, from Taiwan, Japan, major domestic cities, and Wuxi local specialty snacks. However, the most worth experiencing among them is the "Lingshan Zen Food" with vegetarian characteristics.

".

The so-called Zen vision food uses various vegetables and vegetarian dishes as ingredients, supplemented by standard ancient dining rituals, to have a purifying experience of the soul.

The varieties of Zen food are similar to vegetarian food and vegetarian food, which follow the Buddhist rules.

The tableware is the simplest wooden and earthenware utensils. Zen food is very exquisite. Although it is vegetarian, the taste, sophistication, and texture are not inferior to ordinary gourmet meals. Personally, I feel that the quality of the dishes is adequate.

It has a Michelin star. The ingredients are composed of top-quality ingredients such as lotus root, vegetarian chicken, clear water and oil gluten, ginkgo fruit, asparagus, etc. There are also three plates of appetizers before the meal, as well as fruits after the meal.

The fourth way to play in Nianhua Bay: experience the incense ceremony, tea ceremony, and copy scriptures; as a spiritual resort, many projects in Nianhua Bay are mainly slow-paced meditation projects, among which the most numerous and most popular

, there are various incense halls, various teahouses, and many places where scriptures are copied.

Among them, incense halls and teahouses are mainly distributed on both sides of commercial streets such as Xiangyuehua Street, especially around Wudeng Lake.

The most distinctive place for copying scriptures is mainly in the open outdoor venue of Miaoyindai, rather than in a closed indoor space. Could it be to test the ability of the scripture copyers to resist interference?

The fifth way to play in Nianhua Bay: watch the sunset over the Brahma Flower Sea and the Buddhist Pagoda.

In Nianhuawan Town, in addition to Tang-style buildings and streets, there are also many pure natural mountain scenery, including Luming Valley, Ginkgo Valley, Cloud Trees and Sail Shadows, etc. The best one is the Brahma Sea of ??Flowers.

Brahma Flower Sea is located at the height of the eastern part of Nianhuawan. Here, you can overlook Taihu Lake and the main street of Nianhuawan Town.
