风穴寺

好像是中国比较古老的寺庙之一，习惯人文景观的童鞋可以看看，门票应该是三十到六十之间，

如果是专程去游玩的就没有什么必要了，如果是在汝州了，很有必要去看一下！

河南风穴寺第二大镇寺之宝就是楼里的古钟，已经悬挂上千年了。第一宝是个舍利塔。

之所以打五分，是我去的时间，这个寺庙还没有商业开发，比起四大古寺的其他三个，这里的僧人每天念经礼佛，我还有幸看见了几个僧人在偏殿里谈经论道，热烈的辩论。

风穴寺位于临汝县东北少室山南麓风穴山中，距洛阳市约70公里。

汝州风穴寺这甘甜的水,加上盛产的玛瑙，煤土,更有此山特有的瓷土才孕育出那迷人的汝瓷噢

Visited in November, after National Day and Golden Week were well finished. Very quiet at that time, guessing it gets very busy at other times.Catch a bus to get there - it's a local bus which you can catch anywhere along the Fengxue Road. Can't remember the number, but ask at your hotel, they will probably be able to tell you. Hint - have some brochures, etc, of where you want to go, and have a few words written down in Chinese, such as "What bus?" "Can you write this in Chinese for me?" "Where do I go?". Will make your life MUCH easier, and the Chinese will smile. They like it when you make the effort.This is a big complex, with many paths and a lot to see. Take a pocketful of coins, each of the small temples has a monk (?) who stands expectantly with a striker next to a little bell - drop the coins in the prayer box, the bell is rung that many times. Easier to have the coins than look embarrassed about not wanting to put in your pocketful of 100 kwai notes!I carry a pocketful of 1 RMB notes and coins at all times in China - there are beggars, not as many as elsewhere, but they are there. Easier to have the small change to give - and it doesn't hurt your sense of well being to have been generous.Take the time to look, even on the walk to the temple. Don't rush it, there is a lot to see. When I was there there was a lot of work being done on the approaches - "streamlining" the river, I think! May be good, have to see. But access will be easier. Well worth the visit.

中原风格的古刹复原建筑，依然不减历史的文化内涵，安静，散心的好地方

这个离平顶山有一点距离，在汝州，搭火车过去大概一个小时左右吧。交通不是特别方便。而且灰尘很重

返程啦！！今天自驾游去风穴寺玩了一天，快被晒成肉酱啦！！现在在高速路上疯狂想吃冰淇淋有木有，该咋办！！
