Tourist Evaluation of Stele Forest Scenic Spots/Areas ：
@ mulberry leaves : You can take No. 16 or 30 bus from the railway station to the Xiaonan Gate in Beilin District. We got off the train from the Xiaonan Gate, but we passed through the Zhuque Gate, which is opposite to the direction of the youth travel. Well, the one who goes in the Xiaonan Gate is right next to the city wall, and the one who goes in the Zhuque Gate is left... I took a long circle to find it. The first floor is being decorated, and there are many youth tours nearby. They all look very artistic and suitable for living alone when traveling.
@ Rudd Chart : There are towering ancient trees and numerous steles on both sides. These inscriptions have the earliest records of the unique skills of the monks, the travel records of the court officials who came to visit, the exchanges of Buddhism between the East and the West, the inscriptions of the swordsmen in the Wulin, the donations from the martial arts circles at home and abroad, and the handwriting left by modern celebrities. There are so many high and low, which can be said to run through ancient and modern times, and across China and foreign countries. This is the single ginkgo tree at the end of the passage for more than 1500 years. I fell at the corner of the stairs. It's very sad. Is Buddha cursing
@ Rebecca After soaking in the hot spring, I came out just in time to see a forest of steles. I immediately felt that we would not go to the forest of steles. It's a bit hard to walk down one day, and we really don't have such high artistic cultivation. In order to learn Chinese painting when I was young, I was forced to learn calligraphy for the first year, so I didn't like this reluctance.
