Magnolia flowers are blooming in the ancient temple of a thousand years, where you can also take photos, walk with children, and see plum blossom deer for free

🌿 I was attracted by a photo of magnolia flowers blooming in a temple online; the red walls and gilded tiles; the color saturation was instantly maxed out; paired with the blooming magnolias, it's truly super beautiful; unexpectedly, this temple is hidden in a small village in Pengzhou; It is famous for the plum blossom deer raised by the abbot, and many people come here just to see the deer; this is the Sansheng Temple in Guihua Village, Pengzhou; Sansheng Temple was originally the residence of Zhang Song during the Three Kingdoms period, and it was donated to Buddhism by descendants in the Ming Dynasty and converted into a temple; 🌿 Sansheng Temple is the hometown of the famous Song Dynasty Zen master Yuanwu Keqin, and it was also one of the places where Master Keqin taught. This place is definitely an off-the-beaten-path attraction; 🎡 Sansheng Temple, Pengzhou ⛰ Address: Guihua Village, Pengzhou, Chengdu 💰 Ticket: Free 🚶‍♀️ Visiting time: 1-2 hours 🅿️ Parking: There is a parking lot next to the temple, which is also free, and you can park at will; 🚗 Navigation: Directly navigate to 'Sansheng Temple' to arrive; you have to go through a small riverside road, which allows for passing, turn over a bridge, and you'll first see the back which is not open to the public, then move forward to the main entrance, where the parking lot is right at the gate; 🙏 Incense: There are incense and wishing lamps for sale at the entrance of the temple, 10 yuan per set; 🚉 By bus: Take the subway line 6 from Chengdu city center to Xipu Station, exit from C, cross the road, take bus 710 to Shaxi Line Tuanjie Road Intersection Station, transfer to bus 715A to Tangchang North Bridge Station, walk straight, turn right and take Peng 403 bus, get off at Fengle Station, walk straight, turn left, and walk two kilometers to Sansheng Temple; The most convenient way is still to drive there; 📸 Photo sharing: 1️⃣ The three plum blossom deer in the temple are the most popular, and most visitors will take photos with them; the deer here are relatively tame; 2️⃣ The temple is renovated, with bright colors, and it looks good in photos; 3️⃣ The temple has planted many flowers, the red plum blossoms have all withered; the magnolia flowers have not yet bloomed on a large scale; in another 1-2 weeks when they are fully blooming, the photos should look super beautiful; 4️⃣ After the magnolia flowers are done blooming, there will be crabapple flowers to see; previously, I saw online that people went to take photos in Hanfu, and it was really beautiful; 5️⃣ For portrait or landscape photography, it is still best to use an SLR and a telephoto lens; the trees are quite tall, and the flowers blooming above are more beautiful; after zooming in, it still takes an SLR to capture the texture; 6️⃣ There are very few places to eat near the temple, there is a farmhouse nearby; you can bring your own dry food; 7️⃣ Most people come to the temple to burn incense or take photos and see the plum blossom deer, and they don't stay long; ———————————— Ancient Temple of a Thousand Years | Spring Flower Viewing and Photography | Free Off-the-Beaten-Path Spot | Outskirts of Chengdu If you like my notes; Welcome to 【Like, Comment, Follow】~
