The overpass is horizontally erected over a pool of clear water. One end is connected to the bamboo path leading uphill, leading to the deep bamboo forest. The other end is connected to the downward stone steps. The stone steps are relatively steep and spiral for more than ten meters. Below there is another small pool and a small flower bed. On days when thick fog pervades, looking from the flower bed, everything is submerged by the clouds and fog, only that bridge is still faintly visible. The sky and clouds are of the same color, and the small bridge is like being in the sky. This is probably the origin of the name ‘overpass’. A few steps down on the left side of the overpass, there is a pavilion with green tiles and red pillars. In a not very large space, from the overpass down, through the small pavilion, to the flower bed, it is divided into three levels but without any sense of constraint. Several banana trees are planted beside the small pool, and seasonal flowers are planted in the small flower bed. From top to bottom, it is integrated as a whole, and the layout is rather ingenious. These sceneries are all deeply embedded in the bamboo sea. On a sunny day, a few rays of sunlight faintly filter through. The secluded birds in the forest chase each other, and the environment is extremely quiet, but one does not feel lonely. Tourists coming here will naturally calm their minds and purify their thoughts. In the poem ‘Written on the Back Courtyard of the Broken Mountain Temple’ by Tang Dynasty poet Chang Jian, there is a line that says: ‘The bamboo path leads to a secluded place, and the meditation room is deep with flowers and trees.’, ‘The mountain flowers delight the nature of birds, and the reflection in the pool empties the human heart.’, expressing the quiet and deep artistic conception here.
The opening hours are all year round, open all day.
