Blessings & Gourmet
After the bustling Spring Festival Golden Week of the Year of the Dragon, Wuxi Lingshan Grand Buddha Scenic Area is about to welcome its second peak tourist season:
Valentine’s Day, a heartfelt journey for couples to pray for blessings.
It is reported that during the Year of the Dragon Spring Festival, Wuxi Lingshan hosted a culture-themed pilgrimage tour centered around blessings — “Blessings Abound at Lingshan: May All Wishes Come True,” also known as the 2nd Lingshan Blessings Culture Festival.
During the Spring Festival, a variety of uniquely Buddhist-themed blessing activities such as listening to the bell for blessings, making wishes with prayer flags, and blessing ceremonies attracted large numbers of tourists for sightseeing and celebrating the Year of the Dragon.
Just nine days after the Lantern Festival comes February 14th, the much-anticipated Valentine’s Day for couples.
Avoiding the crowded bustle and soaring travel prices of the Spring Festival Golden Week, why not follow the lingering festive spirit and bring your partner to Lingshan for a heartfelt blessing journey?
A classic two-day leisure trip to Lingshan is the perfect choice for this Valentine’s Day: visit the Lingshan Grand Buddha to pray for blessings, wishing heaven’s protection for your loved one and an early union of a hundred years.
Go see the spectacular Grand Buddha Water Show, a large-scale dynamic musical fountain and sculpture ensemble, and feel the grandeur of Buddhist culture.
Visit the Ling Shan Buddha Palace, known as the “Louvre of the East,” and feast your eyes on the essence of Buddhist art and culture.
After your tour, enjoy the delicious Buddhist vegetarian cuisine at Lingshan Vegetarian Restaurant, letting your stomach relax with the fresh and light nourishment — like spring water — following the overindulgence of the Spring Festival.
In the evening, take your loved one to the Yuan Yilidu Hot Spring Resort Hotel for a mineral-rich hot spring therapy session, helping them relax both body and mind.
Experience world-class luxury without leaving the country — “Material indulgence, bodily enjoyment, and spiritual freedom.”
After the hot springs, check in to Lingshan Jingshe, China’s first Buddhist-themed accommodation nestled in the serene, elegant, and rustic landscape surrounded by mountains, water, and forests.
