Changde Qianming Temple has a long history but has been destroyed and rebuilt. The current Qianming Temple was rebuilt in 2001, following the scale of the Tang Dynasty Qianming Temple with a Song Dynasty architectural style. The construction area is 21 acres, and it has completed the construction of the mountain gate, the Vajra Hall, the Guanyin Hall, the Heavenly King Hall, the Bell Tower, the Drum Tower, the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall, and others. The overall impression is very good. The path leads up the mountain, and the temple is clean and quiet inside. Although it is a newly built temple, the trees are already tall and dense, with buildings and towers hidden among them, giving it an ancient charm. There are several Guanyin statues in the temple, including the Thousand-Hand Guanyin and the Child-Giving Guanyin. No monks were seen, and all the laypeople observed were women, which might be related. There is a tower standing on the mountain top, the mountain is a solitary peak, and the tower is the Solitary Peak Tower. It looks new and not very majestic, but once you climb the tower, you can see different scenery. From the fourth or fifth floor and above, you can see the Yuan River. Looking at the river up close and the city in the distance, the river embraces the city, and the city walls protect the urban area, creating a harmonious and peaceful scene. ● Detailed address: No. 100, Xianghuo Street, Wuling District, Changde City, Hunan Province, Qianming Temple ◇ Visiting hours: The temple is open until 4:30 PM, except for the Solitary Peak Tower, which is open until 5:00 PM on weekends and holidays. The square is open without time restrictions. Additional transportation tips: It is recommended to take bus No. 6 to the gate of Changde No. 2 Middle School (terminal station), and walk 100 meters to reach the temple. (Of course, if you have money, taking a taxi is also an option) Highlights: Climbing the Solitary Peak Tower on a good weather day is very impressive. Upon entering the temple, you first worship Buddha, and then you can see some monks inside. The courtyard is not particularly large, but it is very photogenic and has a great atmosphere. A few words of advice... Live, but avoid loud noise. It is recommended not to wear overly revealing or flashy clothes.
