Tips

culture
In Daoism, 洞天福地 refers to the Ten Great Grotto Heavens, Thirty-Six Lesser Grotto Heavens, and Seventy-Two Blessed Lands - a mapped system of sacred mountains where immortals dwell, codified by Tang Daoist 司马承祯. Places like 庐山, 茅山, 武当山 all hold formal 福地 rankings. In everyday speech 福地 just means a place where good fortune accumulates.
usage
The measure word 块 is idiomatic here (一块福地), treating the land as a 'plot.' Often appears in the set phrase 人杰地灵, 是块福地.
