Carriages are slow, and one's whole life is devoted to a single person

In the past, carriages were slow, and one loved only one person throughout a lifetime. Amidst the hustle and bustle of carriages, one seeks a piece of tranquility in the noisy market. During the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, I stayed at the Jingcheng Hotel on Suoling Road, North Third Ring. The hotel has a small facade, giving a sense of a secluded path leading to a quiet place. Entering the lobby, there are no excessive decorations, it's clean, bright, and open. The bookshelf next to the hall is filled with books of all kinds, from fairy tales to admonitions, from naivety to maturity, a long life can be briefly summarized in just a dozen compartments on the shelf. Sitting in the lobby, the scorching summer heat is separated only by a transparent curtain wall, with a glass of lemonade and a piece of light music, it's quite pleasant. Upon entering the room, a breeze brushes through the white window gauze. The room, like the lobby, is clean and tidy. Beige wall cloth, natural-colored desk, brown headboard, simple yet warm. Although there are no luxurious furniture or extravagant murals, it gives a sense of lazy enjoyment. Pulling back the curtains, one can gaze at the North Third Ring overpass in the distance, watching the bustling traffic and reflecting on the hardships of life. Closing the window, the noise of the vehicles is shut out, creating a peaceful interior amidst the external chaos, which is the ultimate enjoyment. After a short rest, I prepared to go out for a walk. Since I had inquired at the front desk earlier and learned that it was difficult to park near the attractions, I planned to take a taxi. The taxi driver was very efficient, and in less than 15 minutes, we arrived at the recently popular Daguan Yin Temple. The temple is located next to the street, right next to the Tea City. If not for the four rows of railings at the intersection separating the road, no one would expect a temple to be situated here. The temple gate is not large, and at first glance, it seems to be the size of a courtyard house, but inside it holds a universe of its own. The temple adopts the Tang-style cloister architecture, including five courtyards, eleven halls, and additional structures like one pavilion, two floors, and six halls. In sequence, there are the Mountain Gate, Hall of Heavenly Kings, Hall of Ease, Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Hall of Seven Buddhas, Hall of Dharma Protectors, Guanyin Pavilion, Many Treasures Pavilion, Relic Pavilion, Sutra Pavilion, Guest Hall, Meditation Hall, Chanting Hall, Dharma Hall, and Precepts Hall. Although there are not many people outside the temple, the visitors inside are endless. Unexpectedly, most of the visitors to the temple are young people; some come to pray and make wishes, some to take photos and check in, and others to escape the scorching summer heat and find a cool spot under the trees. It's not noisy, but it's not entirely quiet either. The temple forbids bringing your own incense, but you can get three sticks for free inside. Smoke rises, carrying people's wishes to the heavens, and as they bow their heads in worship, they hope that the deities above can feel their sincere hearts. The commercialization inside the temple is not high; you can buy items like scented sachets and amulets, but it's worth noting that only cash is accepted, no QR code payments, without excessive marketing. The young people's main belief is that sincerity is what matters, and everything else is left to fate. A warm reminder, it's best to avoid visiting during holidays, as there are too many people. There is a paid parking lot near the temple, and it's recommended to park outside directly, as the road in front of the temple is quite narrow, and it's easy to turn in but a big loop to get out.
