Serene temple next to busy Taikoo Li

#postandearn Daci Temple, located in the center of Chengdu, is one of the city’s oldest and most historically significant Buddhist temples, with origins dating back over 1,600 years. Once a prominent center of Buddhist learning, it is famously associated with the Tang dynasty monk Xuanzang, who was ordained here before embarking on his journey to India. Despite urban development around it, including the modern Taikoo Li shopping district, the temple has retained its tranquil atmosphere. Its traditional architecture, elegant courtyards, and ancient trees offer a peaceful retreat amid the city's bustle. Today, Daci Temple remains an active place of worship and a quiet reminder of Chengdu’s spiritual and cultural depth.
