我遠道而來,在江風吹拂下,獨立船頭,抬望眼,見光霞照耀山崖。我心中懷著無限敬仰,合掌慕拜這有二十幾層樓 高的彌勒佛。
大佛臉孔慈祥,莊嚴肅穆。千百年来,波濤在他脚下洶湧,遠眺山川河泊,閱盡人世間的春夏秋冬。到而今,世界上的文化人也在看他,他們為大佛喝采,選了大佛為「聯合國教科文組織世界遺產」。

There was a saying that people longed to see the true face of Lushan. We saw it. But it begs the question of whether it’s better to see Lushan in a veil or to see it in its bare face.
We hit one of those 175 days when the mountain is not covered in mist or clouds.
But I have to say that we were lucky we didn’t hit any collapsed bridges, crashed road accidents nor encounter any collapsed buildings. We only hit a collapsed highway which our tour operator bypassed by looping around Zhejiang, the neighbouring province, when we had to see San Qing Shan in Jiangxi, the province we were visiting.
Enjoy this bare face of Lushan in the Jiangxi province.
(In fond memory of +Mr. Francis Kong, our former WYK English master and dear friend.)
First thing first. The author wishes to thank fellow Wahyanite Dr. Wong How Man for luring him to investigate what life is like at the CERS (China Exploration & Research Society) Zhongdian Centre tugged in the highlands of Yunnan near the township of Shangri-La in Diqing County. Viva Yunnan, Home of the Clouds!
