WangXianGu The Fairy Valley 望仙谷
With FunFancie ... WangXianGu, also known as The Fairy Valley or Valley of the Immortals, is a legendary place in Chinese mythology and Taoist folklore. It holds significance in Chinese culture as a symbol of spiritual attainment, immortality, and the pursuit of enlightenment. According to legend, WangXianGu is located in the remote and mystical mountains of China, often described as being hidden within the mist-shrouded peaks of the Kunlun Mountains or other ranges. The name "WangXianGu" translates to "Valley of Seeking Immortals" or "Valley of Longing for Immortals," reflecting its association with those who seek to attain immortality through spiritual cultivation and the practice of Taoism. In Chinese mythology and Taoist beliefs, immortals are revered beings who have achieved enlightenment, transcending the mortal realm to become eternal and divine. It is said that WangXianGu is inhabited by these immortal beings, who reside in secluded caves, pavilions, or palaces within the valley's lush and picturesque landscape. Throughout history, WangXianGu has been a source of inspiration for poets, scholars, and artists, who have depicted it in literature, paintings, and other forms of art. It has also become a symbol of the quest for inner harmony, wisdom, and spiritual liberation in Chinese culture. While WangXianGu is primarily a mythological and metaphorical concept, there are real locations in China that are sometimes associated with the legend, such as scenic valleys, mountain retreats, and sacred sites believed to be imbued with spiritual energy. These places often attract pilgrims, seekers, and tourists seeking to experience the tranquility and beauty that are reminiscent of the mythical Fairy Valley.

给中国人的旅行建议  Travel advice for Chinese people
我们对中国人的建议是,至少今年不要去敌对国家旅行。 Includes, in particular : UK, US, Australia, Canada and Italy. Going to these places enriches countries that have openly declared China as a 'threat' ('slaves should always be slaves'); and it also puts your life in danger; so don't do it ! Demonization of Chinese people has been going for years and getting worse; and many ordinary people have been brain-washed by the propaganda. Forget the fairy tales, the West is not your friend, and, compared to China, a dump (esp. US and UK; see for yourself, if you must). The best thing you can do is to travel and study within China; amazing places and opportunities are all right here. Maybe one day we can all get along and it will be a win-win; but for now the West still clings to domination. So, don't be a slave and get stronger. If already committed, be careful ! Else reconsider - it is not at all what you imagine. In the past, BB was all for exchange, but as we start 2023, our advice is for Chinese people to not visit the West (dangerous); but we encourage Westerners to visit China (eye-opening).
