Donglin Temple | In addition to Lushan, I recommend you to come here for Jiangxi tourism

|In addition to Lushan Mountain, I recommend you to come here for tourism in Jiangxi. Donglin Temple | Jiangxi Tourism In addition to Lushan, I recommend you to come here for free tickets forever, free incense, free coffee, white tea, boiled water, orange juice and lemon juice, free bracelets for worshiping Buddha, and free souvenirs... Before coming to Donglin Temple, I had no idea that there was such a non-commercial temple in China, and it perfectly fits my initial impression of temples - quiet and secluded, no matter rich or poor, everyone can come here to worship Buddha without burden and feel the power of faith. The golden Buddha standing between the sky, earth and mountains, with his hands lowered, coupled with the words "Come back, child" on the plaque, I think even people without faith will be touched to some extent. Location: Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province Tickets: Free forever Some notes There are two places in the Donglin Temple Scenic Area, don't go to the wrong one! One is called Donglin Temple Pure Land Garden, also known as Donglin Buddha (where the golden Buddha is located). The entire scenic area is relatively large and is 45 kilometers away from the city. The other place is called Donglin Temple Zuting, which is smaller but has a long history. It has relatively fewer tourists than Jingtu Garden and is very quiet. It is about 25 kilometers away from the city. 2 Both scenic spots are relatively remote and transportation is very inconvenient! There are very few buses and the frequency is fixed (almost equivalent to non-existent). If there are many people, it is recommended to take a taxi directly or hitchhike. There are many people trying to share rides at the entrance of Zu Temple. I asked and found out it’s about 30 per person. They said you can bargain. 3 It is recommended to go to the Big Buddha in the morning and to the ancestral temple in the afternoon. Because you need to climb a thousand steps to see the Giant Buddha, it is cooler in the morning. 4. You are not allowed to wear shorts! Tight clothes are also not allowed. No belly-revealing clothes. The length of the skirt must cover the knees. But it doesn’t matter even if you wear them. There will be staff at the entrance to take you to the locker room to change clothes, and you can return them when you come out. When I went in, I saw a girl in shorts being stopped, but the boy next to me in shorts was allowed to go in directly. Although we should respect religious customs, it is inevitable that I still feel a little... The overall atmosphere of Donglin Temple really fits my imagination of the temple. When you come to Jiujiang for tourism, in addition to Lushan, you must visit this temple~
