【Explore the ancient temple of Dinglin and enjoy a tranquil journey】.

🌟【The hustle and bustle of Tiefo Temple VS the tranquility of Dinglin Temple】🌟 Imagine the hustle and bustle of Tiefo Temple, and then turn around and head 2.5 kilometers north to Dinglin Temple, which is like a paradise, quietly guarding its peaceful years. This is not only a visual feast of contrast, but also a journey of spiritual baptism! 🌿 🏰【Dinglin Temple: The whisper of history】🏰 Stepping into Dinglin Temple is like traveling through time and space. This ancient temple, named after Dinglin Spring, has a grand architectural scale. The three courtyards are well-arranged, and every brick and tile reveals the vicissitudes and heaviness of history. The solemnity of the Leiyin Hall, the simplicity of the Yuan Dynasty architecture, the exquisiteness of the Ming and Qing relics, and the brilliant Ming Dynasty murals in the East Side Hall, all tell stories of the past. 🖌️ 🏛️【Mountain Gate Loft: Artistic treasure】🏛️ Speaking of the highlights of Dinglin Temple, we have to mention the towering mountain gate and the lotus head hanging flower column caisson in the mountain gate loft. The ingenious design of the heavy eaves and nine ridges, three bright and two dark, is breathtaking. In the second floor caisson, the blooming round lotus, colorful and gorgeous, seems to be able to smell the fragrance of history. 🌸 👨‍🦳👨‍🦳【Temple Keeper Master Niu: Inheritance and persistence】👨‍🦳👨‍🦳 Behind the tranquility of Dinglin Temple is the silent guardianship of Master Niu and his son. From "Old Niu" to "Little Niu", they have guarded this cultural heritage with more than 30 years of persistence. Master Niu's words reveal a deep understanding and pride in this responsibility. Their wish is simple and great - to let future generations witness this preciousness with their own eyes. 👏 🚗【Travel Tips】🚗 📍Location: Dinglin Temple is located 2.5 kilometers north of Tiefo Temple. It is best to drive or charter a car to get there, and there is no direct bus. 🎟️Tickets: Vehicles in the Daliang Mountain Scenic Area need to pay a ticket fee of CNY 30. ⏰Time: It is recommended to visit at 8 am to enjoy more quiet time. The scenic area is open until 6 pm, and there is a lunch break at noon. 🔍Nearby recommendations: You might as well visit Kaihua Temple, Chongming Temple, etc. along the way to make your cultural tour more colorful. 🎉【Early arrival benefits revealed】🎉 Let me tell you a secret, if you go early, you might encounter more unexpected surprises! 😉
