travel starts with photography

Then he saw the so-called sutra pillar, which turned out to be an upright stone tower, a bit like the thing in the center of many fountain pools, built up layer by layer, with a base, pillars, and a cover.

The whole building is built very high, and the pillars at the bottom alone are higher than the courtyard wall next to it.

The pillar is now very smooth, but you can vaguely see that something is carved on it. Chen Xing turned to the side to read the introduction and confirmed that there were Buddha statues, Buddha names or scriptures on the stone pillar below.

In fact, from Chen Xing's own perspective, such things can hardly be called treasures, they can only be called antiques. But from the perspective of faith, perhaps this is really a priceless treasure.

Comparing this bluestone pagoda with the ancient bell he had seen before, he might unconditionally prefer the ancient bell.

Baosheng Temple has another treasure, called the flagpole-clamped stone. It is even simpler, it is a piece of wood sandwiched between two stones. Both the stone and the wood look weathered, and you can tell from their appearance that they have been here for hundreds of years.

There are three wonders in the temple, ginkgo, wolfberry and ancient wisteria. The wolfberry and ancient wisteria are both over a hundred years old, and the ginkgo is thousands of years old, with luxuriant branches and leaves. There is a small house under the tree, which is completely covered by branches and leaves.

After walking around, Chen Xing felt that the three treasures and three wonders in the temple didn't matter. What he liked more was the peaceful atmosphere of Baosheng Temple and the smell of incense and candles.

These things were converted into photos and stored in his camera.

The famous "Three Treasures" and "Three Wonders" were not reflected in his camera. He only took a picture of the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, but also to show the small house covered by it.

When leaving, I happened to see a group of people from the hotel walking over. One of the girls greeted Chen Xing and asked, "Chen Xing! I saw your video. Wow, you are a star!"

"She's just a minor internet celebrity, and she's out of fashion."

Someone else asked: "Is this temple fun?"

Chen Xing thought for a moment and said, "You can still experience the tranquility of the ancient Buddha and green lamps if you go in now. If you like to take photos, no one will block you. If you go in later, there will probably be more people."

After he left, the group was a little confused.

What do you mean?
Is that fun or not?

After they walked in with confusion, they finally understood what Chen Xing meant... It was just not fun. Apart from the nice monk they met, there was a bell and a few stones, there was really nothing to see.

However, it is still nice to take pictures of people along with the buildings as a travel check-in photo.

Think again about what Chen Xing said when he left.

Very insightful.

After all, Chen Xing is a public figure after all and cannot speak carelessly. If he directly says that there is nothing to do here, then the cultural tourism development of Luzhi will probably be in vain for several years.

As the biggest boss in the tourist area, Chen Xing does have some appeal.

At this time, Chen Xing had already taken the subway and was about to arrive in Shanghai.

He had wanted to visit Shanghai for a long time, but every time he had something to do he had to pass by in a hurry, making Shanghai a transit station for his travels. This time he finally made a real trip.

Get off at the train station, scan the QR code and take the subway and walk to Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street.

The Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, as it is now referred to by tourists, is actually called Nanjing East Road Pedestrian Street. This road is a witness to Shanghai’s history. It has many places worth visiting and is more fashionable and international.

There is also a Nanjing West Road, which is not as lively as Nanjing East Road. It basically caters to high-end consumers. It has been famous for its high-end villas and apartments since the early 20th century. Compared with the commercial nature of Nanjing East Road, it retains more of Shanghai's traditional commercial and cultural atmosphere.

When Chen Xing first arrived at Nanjing East Road, the green light was on at a crossroads. Pedestrians on the opposite side and this side were crossing each other, and it seemed that there were a lot of people. If you find a good angle, you can take a photo that is not inferior to the Shibuya Crossing. Speaking of which, what is there to do in Shanghai?
Yu Garden?

Why not go to Suzhou to see Chinese gardens?
Tianzifang?
In fact, except that it is in Shanghai, this place is not much different from art districts across the country.

museum?
Where is it not available?

Therefore, most tourists in Shanghai rarely want to visit tourist attractions. Many people who come to Shanghai actually only have one big goal in mind, which is the Bund. Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street is actually just a side trip.

Of course, there is also a Disney in Shanghai, which Chen Xing thinks needs to be counted separately.

He came here alone, and he's a man, so he really has no desire for Disney. Maybe if he brings a girl with him, he would want to go there for a visit.

She has to be a lively girl, even Hedwig is not suitable. She probably wants to go to the one in Tianzifang.

So, there are really a lot of people on Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street.

The whole street was full of people, and everyone was holding up their phones to take pictures. After all, the Shimao International Plaza behind was also a scene in Shanghai, and it was worth taking a picture of it as a souvenir.

There are several intersections ahead. There are tracks on the ground and traffic police standing on the side. You can't see any road on the ground, but it is indeed a highway. The traffic police will direct the crowd to stop or pass.

Chen Xing thought this was very interesting, so he looked for an angle and walked into a nearby coffee shop.

It was still a window seat, from where I could see Shimao International Plaza in the distance, the tallest building in Puxi with two antennas, and the Oriental Pearl Tower behind it.

But Chen Xing didn't want to take any pictures. He wanted to take pictures of the people passing by on the ground.

Chen Xing waited for the green light many times, but he always felt that the crowd was not large enough. It was not until the cup of coffee he ordered was completely cold that he finally waited for the green light to come on, and there were a lot of people on both sides.

As the night goes on, more and more tourists go to the Bund. After all, the Bund is most famous for its night view.

Chen Xing stood up and stood against the glass.

When the traffic police blew the whistle, pedestrians on both sides walked towards the empty road at the same time. They were absolutely clearly separated before they met. It was not until the group of people walking in the front stepped onto one side of the two tracks and they were about to touch that Chen Xing pressed the shutter.

After taking the photo, he quickly took it out to look at it.

you can!

This photo can probably be made, and there is no need to adjust the color, just make it black and white.

After returning from the island country, I spent some time with Moriyama Daido's son. His control over black and white works has obviously become stronger, and his humanities works are better than before.

Now he finally understood why many masters preferred black and white works in their later years.

Black and white really has a unique humanistic filter.

There is an innate sense of story.

As long as you find the right composition, even if it is just a picture of a country road or ducks swimming in a pond, it can instantly remind people of the scenes deep in their memories.

Even before reaching the Bund, Chen Xing already felt that the trip was worthwhile. (End of this chapter)
