Zen found the temple with the fewest people and saw the largest Buddha in Nanjing

The Guanyin Temple was founded in the Yuan Dynasty, with a long history. The newly built Guanyin Temple is the lower court of the Jiming Temple, backed by the Donglu Mountain, facing the Zhongshan Lake, and is the source of the hundred-mile Qinhuai River. The whole temple is very large, and from the planning perspective, it is composed of three main axes: the Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva axis, the Amitabha Buddha axis, and the Guanyin Bodhisattva axis. It is currently a semi-finished product, with only the Guanyin Bodhisattva axis open to the public, but it is still worth a visit when passing by. Driving up the mountain to check in is just to see the giant half-body Buddha statue in front of the Guanyin Zen Court, which is full of Zen and very much in the style of Tadao Ando's design. Standing in front of it, one suddenly has the realization of 'Where the Buddha's eyes cast down, life and death are both exhausting.' You can drive up the mountain for free, and there is food available at the foot of the mountain. No need for a drone, even without a camera, a mobile phone can take great shots. As a mid-stop on a one-day tour of Lishui, after visiting the Donglu Mountain Guanyin Temple, I will take you all to the Tiansheng Bridge next.
