A general review:
As a AAA-level Scenic Spot ratified by the National Tourism Administration, Yuhua Palace is known as a natural “oxygen bar” with a beautiful environment in the forest and a high percentage of negative oxygen ion, which is very good to one’s health. There are six areas in the scenic spot: the cultural relics area, sightseeing area, Buddhist culture area, flourishing Tang Dynasty culture area, shopping area and entertainment, dining, accommodation and recreation area. There are altogether 108 tourist attractions in the scenic spot. Tourists can take part in the activities of climbing ropes, fishing, boating, mah-jong playing contests (mah-jong, also called mah-jong solitaire, is a classic traditional Chinese game for four persons) and riding. It is great to listen to the whistling of the pine trees and appreciate the vegetation and enjoy the different scenes in different seasons here.
Tourist attractions:
Yuhua Palace: it is the ruins of Yuhua Temple, the temporary imperial abode of the emperors during the Flourishing Tang Period (713-756, during the reign of the emperor Xuanzong) of Tang Dynasty (618-907). However, the emperors of the early Tang began to build palace here. The Emperor Gaozu (Reign time: 618-627), the first emperor of Tang Dynasty, built Renzhi Palace here. Emperor Taizong (Reign time: 627-650) enlarged the palace to be Yuhua Palace, which was composed of several rows of halls. The famous Buddhist monk Xuanzang (604-664) stayed here for four years after he went on a pilgrimage to India and took back the Buddhist scriptures. He translated the Sutra of Highest Wisdom (Projna) from Sanskrit into Chinese and died on February 5th, 664 in the temple. Some precious cultural relics relative to Xuanzang are preserved in the National Museum in Beijing, such as the stone sculpture of Buddha’s footprint made by Xuanzang and the stone sculpture of the Buddha’s seat of Jinggang Buddha (Jinggang is Buddha’s warrior attendant). The niches for statues of Buddha, the grottoes, the statues of Buddha and the stone sculptures in Shanhu Valley (West Palace) and Guoyu Valley (East Palace) are preserved well and are of great importance to scientific researches. In one of the stone rooms is a Buddha’s statue, on the side of which are carved 20 Chinese words showing that this is a statue that Xuanzang had had people to cut in 663. In the recent years, some ruins of ancient porcelain kilns and metal smelting ruins have been excavated in Yuhua Palace Site, which is very important to the history of porcelain making in China and the history of metal smelting in Tongchuan.
Yuhua Palace Ski Run: it is located in Yuhua Palace Scenic Spot and is the largest ski run in northwestern China. In winter, it snows much in the region, and the snow-covering time lasts for three months. The vast expanse of snow and the icicles that are as high as tens of meters really make a magnificent scene. The ski run has an area of 50,000 sq meters. There are three standard ski runs (including the elementary and the mid-leveled runs) which have an average width of 50 meters and a length of 600 meters each. The management of the scenic spot has invited some skiing instructors from northeastern China to help the tourists to learn the necessary skiing skills within a short time and enjoy skiing. The multi-functioned hall situated at the entrance of the ski run has an area of 260 sq meters. It is a place for tourists to rent outfit for skiing and deposit their luggage. They can even listen to music and have a cup of coffee at the music saloon or in the coffee house. What’s more, tourists can enjoy skating at a skating rink that has an area of more than 3,000 sq meters. They can also appreciate the ice carving, ice lamps and pile a snowman and enjoy the snow here.
