An ancient temple without Buddha, monks, or incense

The "Yunzhong Daji - Shisi Temple" in Jingning County, Lishui, Zhejiang, is located in Jingning She Autonomous County, Lishui. The entrance fee is 40 yuan. Due to inconvenient transportation, it is recommended to drive there. There are many mountain roads, so please be careful. To this day, there is not a single Buddha statue or scripture. More historical relics are stored in the Mei Family Ancestral Hall on the right. However, the thousand-year-old Chinese cedar is still lush, and the crabapple flowers bloom every year in front of the gate. There is no incense burner, no prayer strips, and no place for religious artifacts in the courtyard. Even the stone bricks previously laid have been removed. This shows the restraint in cultural relic protection and tourism development here. The rare Song and Yuan dynasty religious architecture itself also makes it particularly unique in Zhejiang and even nationwide. One must visit in person to truly appreciate it. Public transportation: High-speed train to "Lishui" station, then take a bus from Lishui to Jingning County, and a bus from Jingning to Yunzhong Daji. Besides Shisi Temple, the Yunzhong Daji Scenic Area also includes attractions such as Xuehuaji and Xiaozuo Terraces. If you have time, you can visit them all.
