Across the country, nearly a dozen well-known attractions have launched special events that offer free admission as long as you endorse them, and this article will provide you with a detailed inventory. For those who plan to travel, you may wish to collect it before you see it.
First of all, let's come to Nanchang, Jiangxi, one of the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River. As long as you recite the preface of King Teng's Pavilion fluently, you can enjoy a free ticket worth 50 yuan on the day. Imagine that the beautiful scenery of "lying xia and lonely birds flying together, and autumn water is the same color as the sky" can only be enjoyed exclusively here. After the tour, walk about a kilometer and you will find a restaurant called Nanchang Hotel. It is rumored that diners who challenge to recite the preface of King Teng's Pavilion will also have the opportunity to enjoy a free order, but the number of places is limited, and it is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Next, we will go to Jianmen Pass in Guangyuan, Sichuan, which is a national five-A scenic spot and the location of the "Sword Pavilion and Cui Wei" mentioned in Li Bai's "Shu Dao Difficulty". As long as you can recite "Shu Dao Difficult" in its entirety, a ticket worth 105 yuan will also be given away for free.
The third scenic spot is Yueyang Tower in Yueyang, Hunan, which enjoys the reputation of "the first floor in the world". The most recent ticket-free event is scheduled for the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, and you only need to make a reservation in advance through official channels and recite Fan Zhongyan's "The Story of Yueyang Tower" in its entirety within five minutes. Not only will you be able to get a free admission ticket on the day, but you'll also get a unique certificate of memorization to make your trip feel ceremonial.
In addition, Yue Fei Temple in Anyang, Henan Province has also launched an activity to recite "Man Jianghong" for free admission. The adjacent Cao Cao Tomb, that is, the Cao Cao Gaoling Ruins Museum, only needs to recite two Cao Cao's poems, and the ticket can enjoy a half-price discount; If you can recite four songs, your ticket will be given for free.
In Langya Mountain in Chuzhou, Anhui Province, this is the place where Ouyang Xiu wrote "The Story of the Drunkard Pavilion". As long as you memorize the full text, you will get a pass to the four attractions of Drunken Weng Pavilion Tong Paradise, Langya Ancient Temple, and Nantianmen, but please note that there are only 30 places per day.
Finally, we came to Du Fu's thatched cottage in Chengdu. This is undoubtedly the most difficult attraction to memorize, as you will need to memorize the 83 poems in the book "Several Poems", and once you have mastered them all, you will enjoy a free ticket for life. Excitingly, just last June, after five years of waiting, Du Fu Thatched Cottage finally welcomed its first successful challenge. So, friends, you might as well give it a try!
