A Millennium Secret in the Bustling City of Kunming: Yuantong Zen Temple, waiting for you to come and explore in tranquility!

😍Wow, buddies, let me take you into a hidden millennium secret in the bustling city of Kunming—Yuantong Zen Temple! Not only does it have a profound history, but it also offers an atmosphere of peace and tranquility, waiting for you to come and explore in serenity! 🏯Yuantong Zen Temple, as one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Kunming, was founded in the late 8th century and has a history of over 1200 years! It has undergone several renovations, and the scale of the architecture today is thanks to the expansion by Wu Sangui during the Qing Dynasty's Kangxi era! The famous Yuantong Shengjing Archway was built at that time! 🍃🌳Yuantong Zen Temple is located in the bustling city, north of Yuantong Mountain, and adjacent to the Kunming Zoo, covering a total area of 13,000 square meters. With its magnificent appearance and lush greenery, it is known as 'Luofeng Embracing Greenery' and 'Luofeng Overlapping Greenery,' and has always been one of Kunming's eight scenic spots, just like a beautiful garden in the Jiangnan water town! 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️It is worth mentioning that Yuantong Zen Temple is also a reverse-slope temple! That is to say, after entering the gate, you have to walk downhill all the way. This design is very rare and fully considers drainage and Feng Shui! 🎫Admission requires a 6 yuan ticket, which is actually an incense offering coupon! After walking through the 'Yuantong Shengjing' Archway, you can take three sticks of incense and two red candles at the 'Han Guang' and 'Chu Yun' pavilions on both sides to experience the devout Buddhist atmosphere. 😇Whether you are here to enjoy the scenery or to pray, stepping into the temple, your body and mind will become relaxed. Slowly appreciate this ancient temple of thousands of years, smell the scent of the incense, and your heart will settle down a lot. 📍The location is at No. 30 Yuantong Street, Wuhua District, Kunming City, and the opening hours are from 8 am to 5 pm! Buddies, come and explore together!
