    Return to the Shaolin Temple

    12 Eylül 2024, Çin ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    📍 **Shaolin Monastery - A Journey Through Time**

    It’s been 39 years since I last visited the iconic **Shaolin Monastery** ⛩️, and I’m amazed at how much this important historical site has improved since then ⏳✨. Known as the birthplace of **Chan Buddhism** 🧘‍♂️ and **Shaolin Kung Fu** 🥋, this place continues to inspire awe.

    Dating back to 495 AD 📜, the monastery has seen its share of history, including being burned down in 1928 🔥. Thankfully, it has been restored 🛠️, preserving its deep cultural significance. We explored various temples 🏯 and wandered through the peaceful **Pagoda Forest** 🌲, home to 240 stone pagodas 🪨 that honor the lives of prominent monks.

    A definite highlight was witnessing a **martial arts demonstration** 👊, unfortunately was not authentic and did not showcase the skill and heritage Shaolin is renowned for.

    Overall, the blend of history and culture, made today’s visit unforgettable 💫.

    Exploring Xi’an

    13 Eylül 2024, Çin ⋅ ☁️ 31 °C

    📍 Xi’an Adventures: Autumn Festival Edition! 🍂🎉

    We couldn’t have picked a better time to visit Xi’an—right in the middle of the **Autumn Festival**! 🎑 The city was buzzing with excitement, lights, and traditions that made our trip extra special. ✨ Did you know this festival is all about family reunions, giving thanks, and moon appreciation? 🌕

    🌟 **Fun Fact**: The **Terracotta Army** was just as impressive as we’d imagined! Over 8,000 warriors stand guard, and it’s mind-blowing to think they’ve been protecting Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s tomb for over 2,000 years. 🏺⚔️

    We strolled the **Xi’an City Wall**, taking in the festive atmosphere as lanterns lit up the skyline. 🏮 The locals celebrated with mooncakes—delicious pastries filled with sweet or savory flavors—so naturally, we had to try a few! 🥮😋

    The streets of the **Muslim Quarter** were even more vibrant than usual, packed with vendors selling **lamb skewers**, **biangbiang noodles**, and **Rou Jia Mo**. 🍜🥙 And of course, there were plenty of mooncakes to go around! We learned that the round shape symbolizes the full moon and togetherness—a perfect way to celebrate.

    At the **Big Wild Goose Pagoda**, we joined the locals in lighting lanterns, sending good wishes into the night sky. 🌕🕊️✨

    Xi’an + Autumn Festival = unforgettable memories! Have you ever celebrated this holiday? Share your favorite traditions! 👇 #XianExplorers #AutumnFestival #TerracottaArmy #MooncakeLove#OrionGlobalNomads    Okumaya devam et

    The Incredible Terra Cotta Warriors

    14 Eylül 2024, Çin ⋅ ☁️ 31 °C

    📍 **Exploring the Terra Cotta Warriors in Xi'an, China** 🇨🇳🐉🦅

    Craig and I spent the day walking through one of the world’s most fascinating archaeological treasures—the **Terra Cotta Army** in Xi'an, and it was absolutely surreal! 🤯🌏

    This army of over **8,000 life-sized statues** was created to protect Emperor **Qin Shi Huang** in the afterlife ⚔️👑. It wasn’t just warriors either—there were also **musicians**, **acrobats**, **strongmen**, and **servants** 🎶💪🤹‍♂️. Instead of sacrificing real people, these statues were made to ensure the emperor’s power continued beyond death.

    We started at **Pit 1**, where thousands of soldiers stand in battle formation 🏟️👀. Then came **Pit 2**, filled with archers, cavalry, and infantry 🏇🏹, and finally **Pit 3**, the command center with high-ranking officers and chariots 🏛️🚶‍♂️.

    The **horse and chariot exhibit** 🐎🚖 was stunning, but what really amazed us were the vibrant **colors and patterns** that once adorned the warriors and the underground city itself 🌈🏯—from the flooring to the ornate architectural details, the entire complex was once a vivid display of reds, blues, and golds.

    Off in the distance, we could see a tree-covered hill ⛰️🌳, marking where the emperor’s actual **tomb** remains buried in a **pyramid-shaped mound**. It's still underground and not open to the public. Legends say it's filled with treasures, but also protected by **mercury traps** that would have poisoned intruders 💀🧪. Very Tomb Raider-esque! 🎥⚔️

    Since the discovery of the Terra Cotta Warriors in 1974, **over 400 other tombs** have been unearthed in China, showing us just how much ancient history is still hidden beneath the surface. And no wonder—it’s even been named the **8th Wonder of the World** and is a proud **UNESCO World Heritage Site** 🏆🌍.

    It was just Craig and me, unraveling the mysteries of the ancient world. Who else is ready to explore this incredible piece of history? 🐉🦅 #TravelAdventures #XiAn #TerraCottaWarriors #8thWonder #UNESCO #AncientChina #HistoryExplorers    Okumaya devam et

    Meeting Point @ Meishan

    17–18 Eyl 2024, Çin ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

    After our train ride from Xi’an, Craig and I met up with Wilson, ST, Emily and our guide.

    Meishan is located in the southwest of the Chengdu Plain in the
    Sichuan Basin. This was the hometown of Su Dongpo (Su Shi)
    (1037-1101 AD), a great litterateur and gastronome in the Northern
    Song Dynasty (960 - 1127AD). The famous dish, Dongpo Pork aka
    Braised Pork Belly is said to be created by Su Dongpo.    Okumaya devam et

    📍 Leshan Giant Buddha 🛕

    18 Eylül 2024, Çin ⋅ ☁️ 34 °C

    📍 Leshan Giant Buddha 🛕—what an incredible experience! Standing at a towering 71 meters, this is the *largest* stone Buddha in the world 🌍, carved into the red sandstone cliffs of Sichuan over 1,200 years ago during the Tang Dynasty 🏯. It took *90 years* to complete!

    We started our adventure with a walk up the well-paved steps 🚶‍♀️—278 narrow steps from the top of the Buddha’s head to its feet. Along the way, we explored the beautiful Lingyun Temple ⛩️, soaking in the spiritual atmosphere and learning about the rich history of the site.

    As part of the temple’s tradition, I also rang the **giant bronze bell** 🔔, known as the **Lingyun Temple Bell**. Cast in the Ming Dynasty, this bell is *over 3 meters tall* and weighs *more than 10 tons*! It was believed that ringing the bell could ward off evil spirits and bring peace to the land, and I was lucky enough to take part in this ancient ritual 🙏.

    Fun fact: the Buddha was built to calm the turbulent waters where the Minjiang, Dadu, and Qingyi rivers meet 🌊—and it worked!

    After exploring the temples and marveling at the Buddha’s massive scale (those toenails are as big as a person!), we finished with a scenic 30-minute boat ride 🚤, giving us a breathtaking panoramic view of the Buddha from the river. Seeing it from the water really puts its immense size into perspective!

    This was such a unique combination of nature, history, and spirituality 🙌. If you’re in Sichuan, you *have* to experience this for yourself!

    Chuan Whisky Distillery

    18 Eylül 2024, Çin ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    📍 Chuan Distillery 🥃—an amazing day of whisky and art! We visited China’s first single malt whisky distillery, set in the stunning foothills of the Emei Mountains 🌄. The architecture is a masterpiece, designed by the famous architect Liang Jinghua 🏛️, perfectly blending tradition and modernity.

    The experience didn’t stop at whisky tasting 🍷—we had a multi-course dinner at their restaurant (can’t remember the name 🤔), where each dish was infused with whisky themes and flavors. From savory to sweet, the culinary journey was a perfect match for the drinks 🥂.

    Fun fact: the distillery also showcases incredible art 🎨, including the mesmerizing “Fogscape” by Japanese artist Fujimoto Sou! And let’s not forget the stunning sculptures by renowned sculptor Zhang Hua, which perfectly capture the spirit of the place.

    If you’re into whisky, art, and unforgettable dining experiences, this spot is a must-visit! 🙌 #ChuanDistillery #WhiskyTasting #CulinaryAdventure #ArtAndWhisky #SichuanExperience    Okumaya devam et

    Trekking Up Mt. Emei

    19 Eylül 2024, Çin ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    📍 Mount Emei 🏔️—what a day! We just explored one of China’s Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains, and it was incredible. With an elevation of 3,099 meters 🌄, this UNESCO World Heritage site has everything from stunning temples to diverse wildlife (watch out for the monkeys! 🐒).

    Our adventure started with a 1.2km walk to Fuhu Temple, also known as Crouching Tiger Temple 🐯, which was built during the Tang Dynasty. Fun fact: it took *20 years* to complete! We marveled at the Golden Statue of Maitreya and the Huayan Pagoda, all while soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. This temple is also the largest nunnery on the mountain 🛕—a true hidden gem.

    Next, we walked another 1.5km to Baoguo Temple, the largest and most important temple on Mount Emei 🛕. Dating back to the Wanli Period (1573–1619), it’s home to Mahavira Hall, the Huaya Bronze Pagoda, and the incredible Lotus Bronze Bell. Oh, and don’t miss the Porcelain Buddha Statue—stunning! 🌸✨

    The round-trip trek was about 3km, but the scenery and rich history made every step worth it! After the temple visits, we made our way back to the Baoguosi Carpark for a well-deserved break 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️.

    With over 30 temples and a rich Buddhist culture, Mount Emei is a spiritual and natural wonder. Whether you’re here for the history, the wildlife, or the views, it’s a must-visit! 🌿🙏 #MountEmei #BuddhistHeritage #UNESCOWorldHeritage #TempleTrek #ChinaTravel    Okumaya devam et

    Sunrise @ Emei Mountain

    20 Eylül 2024, Çin ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    📍 Emei Mountain 🏔️—an early 5am start to find a spot on the Golden Summit 🌄.

    At the top stands the Huazang Temple 🛕, an important Buddhist site with over 2,000 years of history. The most iconic feature is the massive 48-meter tall statue of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, seated on a golden elephant 🐘. It's a stunning sight to behold, symbolizing wisdom and compassion ✨.

    With an elevation of 3,079 meters, the Golden Summit is known for the incredible "sea of clouds" 🌊⛅ that stretches as far as the eye can see. Waking up early to catch the sunrise 🌅 over this mystical view was pure magic!
