In the scorching heat of summer, nothing is more soothing and delightful than a lotus pond—its fragrance refreshing, the croaking of frogs melodious, and the moonlight enchanting. Unable to resist, I decided to find a place not too far away for a spontaneous getaway. Dashi Ancient Village is located at the foot of Tongtianzhai Mountain, a national 4A-level scenic spot in Shicheng County, Ganzhou, Jiangxi. The village boasts crimson cliffs and emerald waters, ancient trees and old houses, and endless lotus ponds. It’s a stunning little village, perfect for immersing yourself in during the sweltering summer days. From Zhanggong District in Ganzhou to Dashi Village in Shicheng County, it’s about 220 kilometers, roughly a 2.5-hour drive. Preferring a relaxed and leisurely trip, we opted for the train instead of driving. Departing from Ganzhou Railway Station, the journey took 2 hours and 42 minutes to reach Shicheng East Station. The village is just 4.4 kilometers from the train station, so a quick taxi ride got us there. We checked directly into the "Shicheng Lotus Pond Homestay (Lotus Pond Night Stay)" by the pond. The homestay is small but spacious, clean, and tidy. Behind the house are golden rice fields, and right outside the window lies the breathtaking view of "endless green lotus leaves under the sky and uniquely red lotus flowers under the sun," along with the striking red sandstone peak of Tongtianzhai Mountain, seemingly within reach—a truly wonderful feeling. By 4 p.m., the sun was still blazing, so we abandoned our plan to hike Tongtianzhai for sunset (no regrets, as I’d seen the sunrise there years ago). Instead, we strolled around the village, visited the ancient opera garden, explored the 200-year-old historic building "Nanlu House," and browsed the Lotus Flower Museum. Then, it was all about snapping photos in the vast lotus ponds. Under the glow of the setting sun, the endless lotus fields were radiant and dreamy, making it hard to leave. Dinner was at a small restaurant called "Lotus Garden Farmhouse." Though modest in size, the dishes were generous and delicious. While eating, we met a lively, adorable little girl who was incredibly outgoing. Seeing me on my phone, she grabbed it and my watch, directing me to strike various poses while taking photos of me—even calling this old grandpa "brother," leaving me both embarrassed and amused while my wife laughed uncontrollably. After dinner, we took a walk along the pondside paths, counted stars from the pavilion in the lotus pond, bathed in the gentle breeze, inhaled the lotus fragrance, and listened to the chorus of frogs—utterly refreshing, with no thought of returning. Early the next morning, I jumped out of bed and headed straight to the lotus pond for a photo session. Hundreds of acres of lotus ponds, with countless varieties of lotuses—some vibrant, others elegant, each uniquely beautiful—stood tall and graceful, a feast for the eyes. The central area of the lotus garden was divided by small paths, allowing us to wander through the flower sea, getting up close with the lotuses. "The lotus leaves stretch so lush, I play among them"—an absolutely fantastic experience. At noon, we left Dashi Village for the train station. Before leaving, we bought some fresh handmade lotus seeds from Uncle Yin’s house next to the homestay. With taxis hard to find, Uncle Yin kindly insisted on driving us to the station in his electric tricycle for free, which deeply moved us. Dashi Village is scenic, with simple and honest locals, yet few tourists—quiet and tidy. If you have the time, it’s perfect for a few days of unwinding, letting your mind find peace and tranquility. Over the past few years, I’ve visited Dashi Village three times, each experience unique yet equally wonderful. Perhaps one day, when the lotuses are in full bloom, we’ll return.

"Endless lotus leaves stretch to the sky, blooming flowers glow uniquely red under the sun." Admiring lotuses and tasting lotus seeds, enjoying rural scenery and farmhouse delights—this is the perfect way to embrace summer. During midsummer, I visited Dashe Village in Shicheng County, Ganzhou, Jiangxi. At Dashe Lotus Garden, the blooming flowers instantly transported me to the world of *Empresses in the Palace*, as if the next moment, An Lingrong would emerge on a small boat singing. Shicheng is renowned nationwide as the "Hometown of Chinese White Lotus." The "Hundred-Mile Lotus Sightseeing Belt," composed of 100,000 acres of lotus fields, fills the air with fragrance, attracting countless visitors to capture photos amidst the stunning scenery. Everywhere you look, you’ll find the enchanting sight of people frolicking among lotus leaves, with the delicate scent of lotus permeating the air. It truly embodies the saying: "While you admire the scenery, others admire you in it." Nestled beneath Tongtianzhai, Dashe Village Lotus Garden is the premier spot for lotus viewing in Shicheng County. Dashe Village itself is a breathtakingly beautiful village surrounded by mountains and water, featuring crimson cliffs, emerald waters, ancient architecture, historic villages, towering trees, and seemingly endless lotus ponds. When you visit this most beautiful lotus hometown in China, you’ll see the distant Danxia landforms and Hui-style houses harmonizing with the elegant lotuses, resembling an exquisite ink painting by a master artist. Dashe Lotus Garden spans 500 acres, meticulously developed by Shicheng County to showcase the stunning scenery of the "Most Beautiful Lotus Hometown in China." It integrates lotus appreciation, picking, tasting, and cultural research into a model site for leisure agriculture and rural tourism. The garden primarily consists of three areas: a diverse lotus species garden, a vast lotus-viewing zone, and a richly informative lotus research institute. It’s said that over a hundred varieties of lotuses can be seen here. The garden also features a two-story scenic pavilion. Climbing to the top offers a panoramic view of the boundless lotus fields. Sitting in the pavilion, feeling the gentle breeze and inhaling the soothing fragrance of lotuses, you’ll be utterly enchanted by this magnificent landscape, forgetting all about your origins and destination.

Shicheng County, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, is named after the surrounding mountains and rocks that stand like a city wall. Located on the border of Fujian and Jiangxi provinces, Shicheng has always been a must-pass place for Jiangxi to enter western Fujian and eastern Guangdong, and is known as the "thoroughfare of Fujian and Guangdong". Shicheng has a history of more than a thousand years since its establishment, and is the birthplace of Hakka culture in China, also known as the "cradle of Hakka", and is also the "hometown of white lotus". In addition to Tongtianzhai, the following attractions are also recommended: Nanlu House: Also known as "Huangjia House", located in Dashu Village, Qinjiang Town, it is one of the few well-preserved Hakka ancestral houses in Shicheng, built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, with a five-entry Hui-style architectural structure, and a half-moon-shaped pond in front of the house, with excellent feng shui. The nearby 100-acre lotus pond is also beautiful in the summer when the lotus flowers are in full bloom. Baofuyuan Pagoda: Also known as "Baofu Pagoda", located on the east bank of the Qinjiang River, adjacent to the landmark building of Shicheng "Qinjiang Langqiao", was built in the first year of Chongning in the Northern Song Dynasty (1102), and is the result of the integration of Central Plains culture and Fujian and Guangdong characteristics by the Hakka ancestors. Li Lashi: Formerly known as "Ying'en Stone", it is the place where the imperial edict was received in ancient times. In ancient times, there was a Li county magistrate who often hunted there, and later changed the name of the mountain to "Li Lishi", because in Shicheng vernacular, "hunting" and "wax" sound similar, and later generations also called it "Li Lashi". Climb the mountain and overlook the county town, free admission. Bagua Brain 🏔️: The main peak is 1,314 meters above sea level, and the locals also call it "Love Mountain", the most beautiful April day in the world, Bagua Brain to see azaleas, the alpine meadow landscape is not inferior to Wugong Mountain, worth a visit.

I spent the night in Shicheng. Waking up early, I climbed the Baofu Temple Pagoda, a Song dynasty Jiangnan-style Buddhist pagoda. It has seven tiers and six sides, constructed of brick and wood, resembling a bamboo-jointed steel whip. Its design is exquisitely delicate and beautiful, with a blend of Tang and Song dynasties' charm. Circling the base and passing through the walls to reach the top of the pagoda, I gazed into the distance. The landscape of Shicheng unfolded before my eyes: the mountains and rivers were beautiful, the people hardworking. Coinciding with the Spring Festival, I silently wished for the nation's peace and the people's safety. (Recorded on February 12, 2024)

🧆 Dashen Township is located at the foot of Shicheng Tongtianzhai Mountain, where there is a hundred-acre lotus garden. Unfortunately, I came a bit late, and many lotus flowers have withered, forming lotus pods. Luckily, there are still many lotus flowers in full bloom, which makes the trip worthwhile. Shicheng is known as the 'Home of Chinese White Lotus,' and lotus ponds can be seen everywhere along the way. 🍭 As the sun sets in the west and the heat dissipates, standing amidst this vast field of lotus, surrounded by the fragrance of lotus leaves and a refreshing breeze, one feels invigorated and refreshed. Behind the lotus fields, there are several white buildings nestled among the green trees, with the majestic Tongtianzhai as the backdrop, especially the 'Pillar of the Earth' piercing the sky, creating a magnificent landscape of mountains and fields. 🍭 Strolling through the lotus garden, at the crossroads, there is a Xian family ancestral temple, and next to it are some ancient dwellings, unfortunately abandoned and not maintained, leaving only ruins. Further inside, I saw an ancient dwelling named Nanlu House, which is well-preserved. 🍭 Nanlu, also known as Huang's House, was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (1783) and has a history of over two hundred years. It covers an area of 20 acres and has a building area of more than 6,000 square meters, with a closed brick-wood structure. There is a tall wall built outside the house, with a courtyard gate next to it. Entering the courtyard through the gate, it is very spacious, with a half-moon-shaped pond in front of the house. The orientation of the five-section house seems quite special, as if all are facing the courtyard with their gable walls, all with tall horse-head walls. The entire building is backed by Tongtianzhai, with a pond in front, boasting excellent Feng Shui. 🍭 Behind Nanlu, there is also an ancient She stage, uniquely shaped, somewhat resembling a round tulou. This is an important venue for displaying Hakka folk activities, often featuring lantern performances. Shicheng's lantern festival is a national-level intangible cultural heritage, which has been formed since the establishment of the city and has a history of over a thousand years. 📍 Address: Dashen Village, Shicheng County, Ganzhou, Jiangxi 👍 Recommended: Hundred-acre lotus fields, looking up at Tongtianzhai, the Pillar of the Earth, Nanlu House, hot springs ✔️ Cost: The scenic spot is open to the public free of charge

🧸 Shicheng is a small county under Ganzhou, located at the throat of Jiangxi, Fujian, and Guangdong, historically known as the thoroughfare between Fujian and Guangdong. The Qinjiang River runs through the town, and a covered bridge connects the two banks. On the west bank of the bridge is the famous Osmanthus House, where the young king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was once imprisoned. On the east bank stands a majestic pagoda, the Baofu Temple Pagoda, listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit. ✔️ Upon arriving in Shicheng, one can immediately see the pagoda, standing prominently on the beautiful banks of the Qinjiang River. The next day, I drove to the pagoda and walked directly into the Baofu Temple behind it. Many believers gathered in the main hall, saying that the pagoda and the temple are separate. So I walked around to the back of the temple's main hall, and only then did I notice that the pagoda was enclosed by iron railings, with only one entrance and exit facing the Qinjiang River. A notice board hung at the entrance, indicating that there is a fee to visit the pagoda, 15 yuan, which is not expensive, but I saw no staff. ✔️ I thought that since it's already clear from the outside, if climbing the pagoda is not allowed, there's no point in going inside, so I decided to just take a look from the outside. Fortunately, there was an explanatory sign at the entrance, which gave us a deeper understanding of the pagoda. ✔️ It turns out that this is a pavilion-style Buddhist pagoda, built in the first year of Chongning of the Northern Song Dynasty (1102) and completed in the fourth year of Daguan (1110), funded by the high monk Daofu, Yingke, and the monks of Heyuan. Baofu Temple is actually Baofu Temple Pagoda, which is a temple pagoda, but now it is separated, and it feels like it would be more meaningful if it were together with the temple. ✔️ The pagoda has seven levels and six sides, embodying the idea that 'saving one life is more meritorious than building a seven-level pagoda.' The entire structure resembles a seven-section steel whip, not only retaining the legacy of the Tang Dynasty but also featuring the typical style of the Song Dynasty, which looks even more magnificent from a distance. ✔️ The name 'Baofu' has two meanings: one is wealth and blessings, and the other is homophonous with 'protection.' Ancient people paid attention to Feng Shui when building pagodas, and Buddhist pagodas were no exception. After the construction of this Buddhist pagoda, Shicheng enjoyed favorable weather, abundant harvests, and people believed it was the protection of the pagoda. ✔️ Walking along the covered bridge to the opposite bank of the Qinjiang River, standing on the bank and admiring the pagoda from a distance, with green mountains behind and clear water in front, plus the blue sky and white clouds, the beautiful reflection of the pagoda in the river is indeed a sight to behold. 📍 Address: Shicheng County, Ganzhou, Jiangxi 💰 Cost: Ticket price 15 yuan

Shicheng Tongtianzhai is a 4A scenic spot that is not crowded but has pleasant scenery. It features a typical Danxia landform, known as 'Thousand Buddha Danxia, a supreme realm'. Here, you can find peculiar rocks, secluded caves, beautiful springs, fragrant tea, and abundant Buddhism. Among them, the Tortoise Longevity Stone, Fish Scale Stone, Pine Nut Stone, Auspicious Cloud Stone, Drum Stone, and Yin Yang Stone are all rare Danxia geological relics. If you don't like crowds and have some time, why not take a stroll here?

💡Jiudie Spring is located to the east of Shicheng County, which is part of the Bagua Brain Scenic Area. Shicheng is a small county under Ganzhou, located at the transportation hub of Fujian and Guangdong. ✎When you first enter the scenic area, it seems ordinary, thinking it's just a common hiking route along the stream. Unexpectedly, the scenery changes dramatically, which is probably only seen in fairy dramas. There are many large stones in the stream, and the clear mountain spring water flows over the stones. Isn't this the scene described by the poet as 'clear spring flowing over the stone'? ✎I couldn't help but take off my shoes, step barefoot into the stream, let the clear spring flow over my ankles, feel the original coolness, even with the help of artificial intelligence, it can't create this natural comfortable environment. I took a few deep breaths of fresh air, feeling all the negative ions, and suddenly felt refreshed. ✎This mountain is called Xiangong Ridge. It is said that at the end of the Qin Dynasty, there was a girl named Yao Ying in the Liu family who became an immortal after getting a strange fruit in the mountain, so it was named 'Liu Li', and later called Xiangong Ridge. At that time, many people living in Shicheng came from the north, fleeing to this place to avoid war, and Yao Ying's family was the same. After Yao Ying became an immortal, she often rode on auspicious clouds to play here and look at her hometown in the north. ✎Legend has it that the Bagua Brain on the top of the mountain used to be a rugged mountain, but it became a flat mountain meadow after being brushed by the Bagua skirt worn by the fairy. Moreover, it is said that the flower fairies on her skirt also sneaked down to play and left flower seeds. Therefore, every spring, large areas of rhododendrons bloom in the valley. The scenery at this time makes Wugong Mountain bow its head. ✎Going upstream, after nine spirals, the drop reaches a kilometer, and the spring is finally calm. This is a forest of acacia trees, expressing people's nostalgia for the fairy. ✎It is said that a fairy visited Bagua Brain, which attracted curious animals. They also wanted to see the beautiful face of the fairy and get a touch of fairy air. Jiudie Spring is named after these auspicious animals: Phoenix, Kirin, Tiger, Turtle, Silver Snake, Butterfly, Golden Toad, etc., plus the fairy. It seems to be missing one, it turns out to be Maitreya, he also came to join in the fun. However, Maitreya Spring only has spring water and does not form a waterfall. Therefore, it can only be named Jiudie Spring, not daring to call it Jiudie Waterfall. 📍Address: Xinping Village, Gaotian Town, Shicheng County, Ganzhou, Jiangxi 👍Recommendation: Hiking along the stream, beautiful legends, forest oxygen absorption 💰Cost: Ticket 25 yuan
