Nanjing Dabaosen Temple Ruins|A Collision of Ancient and Modern, An Extraordinary Zen Journey

When you come to Nanjing, don’t just visit Confucius Temple! The Dabaosen Temple Ruins truly amazed me—this is not a traditional temple, but a treasure spot interpreting a thousand years of Buddhist affinity through modern art! 🌟Must-See Highlights: •【Millennium Underground Palace】Step into the original site where the Buddha relics were unearthed and feel the weight of history •【Glazed Tile Archway】The ruins of the nine-colored glazed tile pagoda are stunningly beautiful, every shot looks like a masterpiece •【Nirvana Buddha Realm】A Zen space created with mirrors and light, as if you are in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss 📸Photo Spots: 1. The giant Bodhi tree at the Bao’en Cultural and Art Museum 2. A glance back in front of the glazed tile archway 3. The light and shadow corridor in the Han Chinese Buddhist Canon exhibition hall 💡Travel Tips: • It’s recommended to enter the park at 3 PM to avoid crowds and catch the breathtaking sunset • The combined ticket includes the underground palace special exhibition, definitely worth the price • Wearing a plain-colored long dress makes it easier to take atmospheric photos This place perfectly blends archaeological ruins with digital art, and you can feel the designer’s ingenuity at every step. Remember to make a wish under the Bodhi tree—it’s said to be very effective~ 📍Address: No. 1 Yuhua Road, Qinhuai District 🕒Opening Hours: 9:00 AM - 5:30 PM
