Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

Along the way, they appreciated the scenery and felt the unique charm of the city of Luoyang.

Xiangshan Temple is located on the East Mountain of Longmen Grottoes, echoing the West Mountain Grottoes in the distance.

The two climbed the stairs and soon arrived at the gate of Xiangshan Temple.

The temple gate is majestic and magnificent, with three large characters "Xiangshan Temple" inscribed above it. The characters are vigorous and powerful, and the momentum is magnificent.

Entering the temple, the two were immediately surrounded by a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.

The temple is shaded by green trees and filled with the fragrance of flowers, as if it is a paradise far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

They walked along the stone path and arrived in front of the main hall.

The main hall houses a statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, which is solemn and dignified, and shines with golden light.

The two knelt devoutly in front of the Buddha statue, praying silently for their wishes.

After praying, they continued to visit other attractions in Xiangshan Temple.

"Yong, look at this stele!" Hannah pointed at a stele and said, "The writing on it is so clear! I wonder which dynasty it was created in."

When Lu Yong got closer, he saw that the handwriting on the stele was neat and powerful, with smooth strokes.

He carefully identified it and said, "This should be a stele from the Tang Dynasty. Look at the style and brushwork of the handwriting. It has the charm of the Tang Dynasty."

Hannah listened to Lu Yong's explanation and nodded in sudden enlightenment: "I see! It seems that we have come to the right place this time to visit Longmen Grottoes! Not only can we appreciate the exquisite Buddha statues and stone carvings, but we can also learn so much historical knowledge."

The two continued to tour the Xiangshan Temple, stopping from time to time to appreciate calligraphy works such as inscriptions on steles and cliff carvings.

These works not only have extremely high artistic value, but are also treasures of Chinese calligraphy art.

They were deeply attracted by the charm of calligraphy and cultural heritage displayed by these works, as if they were in a world of calligraphy.

"Yong, I think this trip to Longmen Grottoes is really worth it!" Hannah said with emotion, "Not only did I see such magnificent Buddha statues and stone carvings, but I also learned so much historical knowledge. I feel that I have a deeper understanding of Chinese culture."

Lu Yong smiled and nodded: "Yes, this visit to Longmen Grottoes has given us a deeper understanding and appreciation of China's traditional culture. I think we should go out more often in the future to experience the culture and scenery of different places."

Hannah readily agreed: "Okay! So where are we going next?"

Lu Yong thought for a moment and said, "I heard that there is a very famous scenic spot in Luoyang called White Horse Temple, which is one of the birthplaces of Chinese Buddhism. I think we can go there and take a look."

Hannah's eyes lit up when she heard Lu Yong's suggestion: "Great! I've heard of the reputation of the White Horse Temple a long time ago! Let's set off quickly!"

The two walked out of Xiangshan Temple hand in hand and headed towards the White Horse Temple.

Along the way, they chatted and shared their impressions and feelings about the Longmen Grottoes.

The sunshine shines on them, bringing them a sense of warmth and comfort.

As the first stop of their trip to Luoyang, Longmen Grottoes has left them with deep impressions and fond memories.

Those exquisite Buddha statues, stone carvings, inscriptions on steles, cliff carvings, etc. will become eternal treasures in their hearts.

On the way to White Horse Temple, Lu Yong and Hannah were in a particularly good mood.

They look forward to the upcoming journey bringing them more surprises and gains.

The afternoon sun shines through sparse clouds and shines on the ancient city of Luoyang, covering this historic city with a golden coat.

Lu Yong and Hannah drove to the world-famous White Horse Temple with curiosity and expectation about the unknown.

"Yong, have you heard? The White Horse Temple is the first official temple in ancient China and is known as the ancestral home of Buddhism!" Hannah sat in the co-pilot seat, excitedly flipping through the introduction on her phone.

Lu Yong smiled and nodded, holding the steering wheel firmly with both hands: "Yes, I have heard of it. It is said that the history of this place can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is known as the 'first ancient temple in China'. I am also honored to bring you here today."

The two smiled at each other, their eyes sparkling with anticipation for the upcoming adventure.

Soon, the solemn and ancient gate of White Horse Temple came into view, as if telling the world about its thousand years of vicissitudes and glory.

Standing at the door, Lu Yong and Hannah were deeply shocked by the scene before them.

The green trees, red walls, Fendian Pagoda, and the entire White Horse Temple were like a beautiful painting, quietly spreading out before them.

The quiet environment seems to make people forget the troubles of the world and just want to immerse themselves in this tranquility and peace.

"Wow, it's so beautiful here!" Hannah couldn't help but exclaim. She took Lu Yong's hand and walked into the temple impatiently.

Lu Yong followed closely behind, his eyes attracted by the ancient palaces and statues.

Every palace exudes a strong Buddhist atmosphere, and every statue seems to be telling a story from the past.

He took a deep breath, as if he could smell the scent of incense and history in the air.

The two walked along the cobblestone road, and every step seemed to be stepping on the trajectory of history.

They arrived in front of the Main Hall, where they saw a statue of Sakyamuni Buddha enshrined. The statue was solemn and dignified, and shining with golden light.

Lu Yong and Hannah knelt devoutly in front of the Buddha statue, praying silently for their wishes.

After the prayer, they continued to visit other attractions in the White Horse Temple.

Hannah was full of curiosity about every place here. She stopped from time to time to take pictures, wanting to freeze this beauty in the camera forever.

Lu Yong, on the other hand, paid more attention to the observation of details. He carefully appreciated the exquisitely carved stone pillars and murals, trying to get a glimpse of the wisdom and ingenuity of the ancient craftsmen.

"Yong, look at this!" Hannah suddenly shouted, pointing at a tower in front.

Lu Yong looked in the direction Hannah pointed and saw an exquisite and tall pagoda standing before him.

That is the Qiyun Tower, known as "the first ancient tower in China".

The tower is majestic and magnificent, with exquisite patterns carved on each floor, making it seem like a treasure house of art.

"It's really beautiful!" Lu Yong couldn't help but sigh.

He took Hannah's hand and walked to the bottom of the tower together.

Looking up at this ancient pagoda, they seem to be able to feel the weight of history and cultural heritage.

After checking in and taking photos under the Qiyun Pagoda, the two came to the dining hall of the White Horse Temple.

The vegetarian meals provided here are simple but delicious, and every bite contains the tranquility and simplicity of the temple.

Lu Yong and Hannah sat in the dining hall, enjoying this rare tranquility and delicious food.

They ate and talked, sharing their impressions and feelings about the White Horse Temple.

"Yong, I think this place is really magical!" Hannah said with emotion, "It seems to make people forget all their worries and just want to immerse themselves in this tranquility."

Lu Yong nodded, agreeing: "Yes, there is indeed a kind of magic here. Perhaps this is the charm of Buddhism, which can make people feel calm and peaceful."

After finishing the vegetarian meal, the two came to the incense burner in the temple.

They each lit two incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner devoutly. The smoke seemed to float up to the sky with their wishes.

"I hope our wish will come true." Hannah said softly.

Lu Yong held Hannah's hand tightly and said, "I will. As long as we work hard, we can realize our dreams."

The two spent a pleasant afternoon in the White Horse Temple.

They visited every corner of the temple and felt the profoundness of Buddhist culture.

As time passed, the sun gradually set.

Lu Yong and Hannah knew it was time to say goodbye to this ancient temple.

They walked out of the gate of White Horse Temple hand in hand and looked back at the solemn and ancient temple.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the roof of the temple, as if covering this ancient building with a layer of golden coat.

"Yong, thank you for bringing me here." Hannah said gratefully, "I really like it here. I feel a lot of different things."

Lu Yong smiled and shook his head: "I am also very happy to share this beauty with you. In fact, I also want to thank you because you made me feel inner peace and tranquility."

The two smiled gently, their hearts filled with sweetness.

On the way back to the hotel, Lu Yong and Hannah chatted and shared their impressions and feelings about the White Horse Temple.

They talked about the ancient palaces and statues, the majestic Qiyun Pagoda, and the simple and delicious vegetarian meals.

Every topic was filled with laughter, as if this trip to the White Horse Temple not only allowed them to appreciate the profoundness of Buddhist culture, but also deepened their feelings.

The early morning sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains and onto Lu Yong and Hannah's faces.

The two slowly opened their eyes. Today, they were going to a special place - Laojun Mountain, to appreciate the majestic and dangerous natural scenery and the magnificent cultural landscape.

Lu Yong sat up, stretched, and turned to look at Hannah: "Nana, today is a big day, we have to get up and prepare quickly."

Hannah smiled and responded: "Yes, I have been looking forward to this day for a long time. I heard that Laojun Mountain is very beautiful. I must take a lot of photos as a souvenir."

The two of them got up quickly and began to busy themselves with preparing their luggage.

They put on professional mountaineering equipment, brought cameras, water bottles and food, and were fully armed and ready to meet today's challenges.

Before setting off, Lu Yong specifically looked up some information about Laojun Mountain: "Nana, do you know? Laojun Mountain is a famous Taoist mountain. There is the Wudang Golden Summit in the south and the Laojun Iron Summit in the north. The natural and cultural landscapes here are very rich, and we will definitely be amazed."

Hannah was even more excited after hearing this: "Really? That's great! I've wanted to experience Taoist culture for a long time. We must explore it today."

The two drove to Laojun Mountain, enjoying the scenery along the way.

As the car got closer, they saw the towering mountains and misty scenery in the distance, and their hearts were filled with anticipation.

Finally, they arrived at the foot of Laojun Mountain.

Looking up, I saw the mountains towering into the clouds, majestic and imposing.

Lu Yong and Hannah smiled at each other, their eyes flashing with desire for the unknown and courage to challenge.

"Nana, are you ready?" Lu Yong asked.

Hannah nodded: "Of course! I am as capable as any man! Let's go!"

The two began their journey to climb Laojun Mountain.

Along the way, they walked along the winding mountain road and enjoyed the scenery along the way.

The trees in the mountains are lush and green, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, making you feel like you are in a paradise.

"Wow! The scenery here is so beautiful!" Hannah couldn't help but exclaim. She took out her camera and kept taking pictures of the surrounding scenery.

Lu Yong also exclaimed: "Yes! The air here is so fresh, and taking a breath makes me feel refreshed. I feel like I have become several years younger."

The two chatted as they walked, stopping from time to time to admire the scenery.

They came to a steep cliff and saw some ancient characters engraved on it, which seemed to be Taoist runes.

Lu Yong studied it carefully and explained to Hannah: "These runes are Taoist symbols, representing auspiciousness and blessing. It seems that we have really come to a famous Taoist mountain!"

Hannah was very interested: "Really? Then should we pray for it too?"

Lu Yong smiled and nodded: "Okay! Then let's pray together!"

The two stood in front of the cliff, clasped their hands together, and prayed silently for their wishes.

They knew that this was a sacred place and that their wishes would surely be blessed by the gods.

After the blessing, they continued on their way.

As the altitude gradually increases, the mountain road becomes steeper and steeper.

Both Lu Yong and Hannah felt physically exhausted, but they did not give up. Instead, they encouraged each other and moved towards the top of the mountain step by step.

"Nana, are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?" Lu Yong asked with concern.

Hannah wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "It's okay, I can still hold on. Let's work hard together!"

The two walked hand in hand, supporting each other and facing the challenges together.

Their feelings also deepened in the process, as if they had become an indispensable part of each other's lives.

Finally, they arrived at a key node - the Jinding Taoist Temple Group.

There are a group of large-scale Taoist temples scattered on the top of the mountain in an orderly manner. They are magnificent and make people feel as if they are in a fairyland.

"Wow! It's so beautiful here!" Hannah couldn't help but exclaimed. She took out her camera and kept taking pictures of the surrounding scenery.

Lu Yong was also deeply moved: "Yes! This place really is like a fairyland. I feel like I have come to another world."

The two walked into the Taoist temple and felt the strong Taoist atmosphere.

They saw the Taoists practicing and praying, and heard the melodious sound of bells and chanting.

All this made them feel extremely peaceful and calm.

In the Taoist temple, Lu Yong and Hannah met an elderly Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest looked at them and said with a smile: "Two young people, it is fate that you can come here. Laojun Mountain is a sacred place. It can bring you strength and wisdom. I hope you can cherish this fate and feel everything here."

Lu Yong and Hannah heard this and said, "Thank you, Taoist Priest. We will cherish this fate."

Under the guidance of the Taoist priest, they visited the entire Taoist temple complex.

Each Taoist temple has its own unique style and charm, which allows them to feel the profoundness of Taoist culture. (End of this chapter)
