In autumn, this leisurely old dyer was tired of the noise and noise of the city. He lie drunk in the secluded valley of Kaohsiung, and applied scarlet makeup to the quiet forest.
As the saying goes:
The autumn wind is filled with maples by the stream, and the green mountains are red in the night.
Today's visit is urgently reached, but he only likes Nong.

One mountain: Kaohsiung Valley
In the northwest of Kyoto, the Qinghai River flows through the valley formed by the Kaohsiung mountainous areas. It has been a holy place for autumn tours that nobles prefer since ancient times. The red leaves here turn red from mid-to-late October to early December. When the red leaves are at its peak, the whole mountain is surrounded by red leaves, which is the climax of maple viewing. There are many maple trees and maple trees in the mountainous area that are more than hundreds of years old. The gorgeous brocade autumn burning of the whole mountain has been well-known in Japan since ancient times. ▽
High-tail maple dyed the Kaohsiung valley red in late autumn, as gorgeous as a romantic umbrella held by a geisha. ▽
Walking along the landscape mountain road, the colors are as rich as turning over a paint box. ▽
The lights were lit in the valley at night, and there was a kind of secluded ethereal and refreshing quietness. ▽
Second Hall: Hongye Family Home and other halls
leave Kyoto Railway Station, take the [JR Kaohsiung North Line] directly, arrive at [Shancheng Kaohsiung] station in about 1 hour and get off. The bus walked winding along the mountain road dyed by the jungle, with peaks and valleys intersecting the road, and red maple covered the roof. ▽
Next to the station is the [Hongye Family Home Kaohsiung Villa] Hotel, which is a quiet and traditional ryokan located next to the Mid-mountain mountain road. ▽
Another hotel with the semicolon of "Hongye Family Bianguan Kawano-an] is located in a valley on the banks of the Qinghai River. ▽
Like to look down at the valley from a room or a private pond, it is recommended to choose [Red Leaf Home Home Kaohsiung Villa]. ▽
Those who like to enjoy the gurgling water by the stream can choose [Red Leaf Family House Hotel Sichuan No. 1]. ▽
Of course, you can stay in two hotels for one night and experience the different styles on the mountain stream. Uncle and Aunt You chose the [Kangye Family Home Pavilion Kaohsiung Villa] located in the middle of the mountain. ▽
Walked into the Japanese-style room with valley views, and half-kneeled on the tatami straw floor in the room to give people a strong family atmosphere with thoughtful service and meticulous explanation. He gently pushed open the paper sliding door, and a pot of welcoming tea had been brewed and placed on the tea table by the window. Outside the window was the colorful mountains and forests in the autumn, and the green tea in his hand was in full bloom. ▽
Hotel goes out and is a stone mountain road leading to the river valley. It circles and turns into the depths of the river valley surrounded by maple forests. ▽
Looking for the gurgling echo of the river water, standing on the Qingbai Bridge, the clear river water flowed through the gravel beach, and the colorful colors spread from the riverbed to the top of the mountain, wrapping the entire valley. ▽
The legendary Sichuan Bed Cuisine met us unexpectedly on the river beach where we turned down the mountain road and crossed the Qinghai Bridge. A bamboo platform was set up on the riverbed covered with gravel, which made the already colorful deep mountains and valleys feel more warm and touching. ▽
Three ancient temples: Shenhu Temple, Ximing Temple and Gaoshan Temple
There are 3 famous temples in the Kaohsiung Mountain area: Shenhu Temple, Ximing Temple and Gaoshan Temple.The Kamigo Temple is the largest temple among them. Its red leaves landscape is magnificent and a famous Buddhist temple. Takayama Temple has been the Red Leaf Temple since the Kamakura era, and was once the object of chanting. The painter Hidera Kamio in the Momoyama era (during the reign of Toyotomi Hideyoshi in Japan) once painted the beautiful red leaves into famous paintings; Nishimeng Temple is a villa of the Kango Temple, and the quiet temple in the autumn is full of red leaves. ▽
【Shenghu Temple】
Shenghu Temple not only has a long history and a prominent position, but also is a famous Japanese temple for worshiping Hongye Mountain. It takes about 20 minutes to climb the steep Kaohsiung Mountain Stone Steps of the Shendo Stone Steps of the Shengoji Temple in the bottom of the Qinghai River Valley to reach the mountain gate at the entrance of the Shenghu Temple. ▽
The wide stone steps rise in windingly along the mountain, with beautiful scenery along the way, and the traditional tea house of the stone pavilion on the halfway up the mountain is hidden among the maple bushes. ▽
The intoxicating autumn scenery has arrived before I have seen it. ▽
Passing through the thatched mountain gate, the vast temple realm of Shenhu Temple, Kaohsiung’s largest temple, is revealed in front of you, with an area of nearly 200,000 square meters covering several peaks. Shenhu Temple is surrounded by the excellent scenery on the top of the mountain. There are many halls in the temple, such as Jintang, academies, treasures, five halls, and Bishamen Hall. The red maple spreads out to highlight its ancient temple charm. ▽
Shengo Temple is formed by the merger of Takaoyama Temple and Kawahara Temple in Hanoi. It is the oldest famous temple in Kaohsiung. Kōkai (a Japanese monk sent a Tang Dynasty monk in the movie "Hankong 5") who returned from studying in the Tang Dynasty in China served as the abbot here for 14 years. However, except for the Master Hall, this famous temple has long been burned to pieces. Its current appearance was rebuilt from the Edo period. ▽
There are two large maple trees in front and on the side of Bishamen Hall. The golden and red maple trees in the temple railings are the most beautiful red leaf scenery in the Shenhu Temple. The Master Hall is the place where Master Hongfa talks about Buddha after returning from the Tang Dynasty. It is also the only building in the territory that has avoided wars and fire. After the wind and frost of the 7th century, it is still quiet and majestic. ▽
Climbing the left stone steps on the front of the five halls is the Golden Hall, which is also the highest point in the territory. Looking down at the halls standing among the fiery red maple trees is another beautiful view. The red leaves in the temple are beautiful under the blue sky and white clouds, and the maple trees in front of the red spirit temple are graceful and colorful. Aunt You slid past with her far-reaching steps. ▽
【Ximing Temple】
Come out from Shenhu Temple and walk southwest along the Qinghai River to reach Ximing Temple. The forests on both sides of the valley have been completely decorated with colorful autumn colors. ▽
The colors of the hillside change subtly between red, yellow and green, thereby deriveing more colors to depict the autumn mountains and forests in front of us. ▽
Taiwan Japanese female writer Liu Lier wrote the following passage when describing the valley of Kaohsiung. "Walking along the river for more than ten minutes, the red leaves are mixed with thick and thin. When people walk in it, they seem to be chasing the red and yellow combination that can only be seen once in their lifetime. Each section is as beautiful as embroidered brocade, so beautiful that it seems to be a processed falsehood. It turns out that the magical calculations of nature will make people feel such an illusion."
Nishiming Temple is a villa of the Shengo Temple, which is far less than the Kobe Temple. There are only two small temples connected together, but there are many stone lamps, which are softly clamped by green moss, and the fiery red maple leaves and the green moss on the stone lamps shine together. ▽
Walk on the winding path and you will see maple trees like girls in red to greet guests. The branches on both sides are connected, which looks like a red corridor. Looking at the hillside, clusters and pieces, with green cypresses adorning them, showing a charm. ▽
The temple has dense plants, which feels more approachable than Kobe Temple. It was built in 832 (Tianchang 9) by Master Kōkai's disciple, Dade Shizuki, and was a temple belonging to the Fengshan Sect of the Shinyan Sect. At the end of Muromachi, it was abandoned due to war and was not prosperous again until the Akira Ninja 7 (1602). The current main hall was built in Yuanlu in 14 (1701). ▽
Although Ximing Temple, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers, is a famous red leaf ornamental site, because it is located in the Luoxi Mountains, the temple is quiet and can be viewed calmly even during peak seasons. Life is originally used to waste, not to care about everything. ▽
Walk out of the mountain gate, and came down from Ximing Temple and walked along Qingtongchuan shortly afterwards to Zhiyue Bridge.▽
[Gaoshan Temple]
Passed through Zhiyue Bridge, followed the instructions along the way, and soon arrived at Gaoshan Temple. Compared with other world heritage sites in Kyoto, Takayama Temple can usually be said to be a world-class heritage attraction that is rarely visited. ▽
If it weren't for the huge rock at the entrance, it reminded that this is a world-class heritage, and it would be difficult for many people to compare such a lonely Takayama Temple with the magnificent Kinkaku Temple and the magnificent Kiyomizu Temple. ▽
Takayama Temple was formerly the main hall of Kaofang, the Kanwanji Temple, which was built in 774. After 1206, Emperor Tooyu gave this place to Master Minghui, Master Minghui changed the name of the temple to Gaoshan Temple by taking the "Avatamsaka Sutra" in the "Sunrise" of "Shining the Gaoshan Mountains first when the sun rises." ▽
Gaoshan Temple is a world cultural heritage site and was founded in 774. The Ishimizu Inn in the temple is a valuable heritage of the bedroom style left over from the early Kamakura period. It has 4 volumes of bird and beast plays (national treasures), which is a treasure house of cultural heritage of Luoxi. It is also a place to admire the red leaves. There are more than 10,000 treasures in the temple, including 7 Chinese treasures and more than 1,500 important cultural heritages. The treasures are not exhibited to the public, but there are imitations on display. ▽
The ancient road in the deep and quiet forest, the trees are covered with moss. ▽
Looking up, there are almost no places without trees here. Towering trees cover the sky tightly. On the slanting wind and drizzle days, only the rustling leaves and the chirping of insects and birds are heard. ▽
Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei 's "No one can be seen in the empty mountain, but people's voices are heard. Returning to the scenery and entering the deep forest, shining on the moss again" is particularly suitable for describing the artistic conception of Gaoshan Temple.
Sit down and see the color of the moss and wants to put on someone's clothes. ▽
The mountain is not high, and it is famous if there is an immortal. The water is not deep, but there is a dragon that will make it spiritual. Hidden in the deep mountains and forests, Takayama Temple is a veritable temple for studying since the Middle Ages. It is said that the temple has more than 15,000 classics including "Takayama Temple Book", including the famous national treasure-level paintings of " birds and beasts and characters play ". ▽
"Bird and Beast Character Painting" was made by the monk Zheng Jueyou of the Tobi Feather, and is known as the first Japanese comic. The four volumes of authentic products are collected in , Tokyo National Museum, and Kyoto Museum respectively. The temple displays high-quality imitations of the same size as the real thing. ▽
The famous national gem water courtyard in the temple is not as magnificent as the Kamakura temple in other temples in Kyoto. It is a residential building with the style of the early Kamakura sleeping hall and the only building left in the era of Master Akie. ▽
There is the oldest tea garden in Japan on the left side of Shishuiyuan. It is said that Rongxi, who had gone to Song to learn Zen twice, brought back tea seeds when he returned to Japan. In 1207, Rongxi gave three of them to Master Minghui. Therefore, Master Minghui is also respected as the ancestor of tea. ▽
Sit cross-legged on the spacious corridor outside the main room to close the meditation, or sit on the corridor with your feet hanging in the air, and instantly you can forget your daily worries and integrate your body and mind with nature. ▽
As the saying goes:
The cold river is surrounded by the stream, and the ancient temple is quiet and the late autumn is rippling.
Xiaofeng stole the wine in the sky overnight, drunken leaves and faces sad all over the mountains.
