ZI YUN XUAN HUO GUO

Copper Hotpot has been opened in the local area for many years. Not only do people from other places come to eat there, but locals also often go there. The portion is large and the taste is good. It is the first choice for entertaining friends from other places. The environment is good and private rooms must be reserved. I recommend the secret beef, which is very tender, and the hand-cut lamb. Their pasta is also very good. You must try the lasagna if you have the chance. Just order it when ordering dishes because it takes some time to bake it.

The service attitude is very good and the food tastes very good



🍃The Crooked Neck Old Mother is located in Qingyan Temple in Beizhen City, Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province. As a holy place integrating natural scenery and Buddhist culture, it has a history of more than 1,500 years.

🍃The crooked-necked old mother is considered to be one of the incarnations of Guanyin Bodhisattva and symbolizes compassion and wisdom in Buddhism. Students and parents go to pray, often to pray for good exams, academic progress, and especially to gain &quot;wisdom blessings.&quot; According to folklore, the Crooked-Neck Old Mother &quot;grants every wish&quot;. Therefore, on the eve of every major exam, countless candidates and parents come here to pray to the Crooked-Neck Old Mother for wisdom and good luck with a pious heart.

 - You can also take a &quot;black car&quot; directly from Goubangzi to Qingyan Temple, but you need to confirm the destination and price in advance

⛰️Mountain climbing route and blessing process

After entering the scenic gate, you will face two main climbing routes:

1. Traditional pilgrimage route: Pass through the Main Hall (where statues of Medicine Buddha, Sakyamuni, Amitabha, etc. are enshrined), then climb through various halls in turn and finally reach the Laomu Cave. This route is relatively gentle and suitable for first-time visitors or tourists with average physical fitness.

2. Direct route to Shengshuiyuan: After passing Shengshuiyuan, go straight up and arrive at Laomu Cave directly. This route is relatively steep, but takes relatively little time, making it suitable for tourists who are short on time or have good physical strength.

The two routes will eventually converge at a high place, both leading to the ancient cave in the clouds where the crooked-necked old mother is. There is an electric car service in the scenic area (5 yuan/person), but it can only reach the starting point of the climb and does not save much time, so it is recommended to walk.

🙏Best time to pray

According to experienced pilgrims, the &quot;afternoon period&quot; is the golden time to visit the Crooked Neck Mother. There are large crowds in the morning and long queues, but relatively fewer people in the afternoon, allowing for a more peaceful prayer experience. The entire process of climbing, worshipping and descending the mountain takes about 2 hours, so it is recommended to arrange your time reasonably.
⚠️It is best to reach the top of the mountain before 3:30 pm, otherwise some prayer places may be closed!


In addition to the crooked-necked old mother, there are many other Buddhist cultural landscapes worth seeing in Qingyan Temple:

👉Open-air Maitreya Stone Buddha: Smiling at all living beings, conveying the joyful spirit of Buddhism
👉Five Hundred Arhats Slope and Three Hundred Arhats Slope: Demonstrating the sophistication and diversity of Buddhist art
👉 Guanyin Hand, Twenty-Four Filial Piety Relief Murals: Combining Buddhist teachings with traditional Chinese filial piety culture
👉Heart Sutra stone carvings, auspicious white elephants, and statues of Bodhidharma: showing the breadth and depth of the Buddhist world

🍜Local specialties

After the pilgrimage, you can taste the local specialties to bring the journey to a perfect end:

👉 Goubangzi Roast Chicken: A traditional delicacy in Beizhen, with tender meat and unique flavor
👉Pangshi Steamed Buns: A local specialty restaurant that provides authentic Northeastern noodles

These delicacies not only replenish physical strength, but also provide a way to understand local culture. Many tourists will buy Goubangzi roast chicken after going down the mountain and take it home as a souvenir of their trip.

Too bad! 10 skewers in an hour! Nothing...

✨My friend here recommended this shop in Xidaqiao. I came here on a bicycle in the drizzle. ✨It is a very grand shop. One pound of water-filled buns is enough for 4 people. 15 pieces of half a pound for 2 people are enough. Don&#39;t order too much. It is like the northeastern version of Kaifeng soup dumplings, with thicker skin and twice the size. It is delicious. The hot and sour soup is not good!

It&#39;s a bit hard to describe the taste. It&#39;s better to hear about it than to see it in person.
