How did the Suzhou Garden Lion Grove get its name?

In the first year of the Yuan Dynasty (1341 AD), the eminent monk Tianru Zen Master came to Suzhou to give lectures. In the second year, the disciples "invested together to buy land and build a house" to build a Zen forest for Zen Master Tianru. Because there is a large bamboo forest in the garden, with jagged rocks between the bamboos, shaped like lions, and because Zen Master Tianru obtained the Dharma from Lion Rock in Tianmu Mountain, Zhejiang, it was named "Lion Forest" to commemorate the relationship between master and master.

What are the most famous tourist attractions in China?

Badaling Great Wall

Everyone who comes to Beijing would like to visit the Great Wall. "If you don't visit the Great Wall, you are not a true man" has become a heroic saying among Chinese and foreign tourists. Juyongguan and Badaling are dangerous passes in the north of the capital. They are a microcosm of the Great Wall and one of the most important tourist spots in the Great Wall.

Badaling is located in Yanqing County, Beijing, 60 kilometers away from Beijing. It is the fourth key pass of Guangou Pass and is also north of Juyong Pass. The terrain is dangerous. There are still two words "natural danger" left on the ridge. There is a small pass city at the entrance of Badaling, one on the east and one on the west. The east gate is called Juyongwai Town, and the west gate is called north gate suoyao. The east and west passes are 64 kilometers apart. It is the throat leading to Beijing and was the most important pass in Guangou in ancient times. The Great Wall starts from the left and right sides of the "North Gate Suoyao" tower and extends to the north and south, with ups and downs, like a giant dragon leaping on the ridgeline of the mountains, majestic.
