Autumn colors the Tianjing Mountain, the temple is quiet yet flowers still bloom

Autumn Tour of Qingdao’s Ancient Temples｜Enjoy the gardens at Longwang Temple and listen to Buddhist chants at Zhanshan Temple This autumn in Qingdao, we especially recommend two charming historic routes~ The first stop is definitely Longwang Temple on Lan'ao Road in Jimo District, which opens at 8:00 AM for visitors! The ancient buildings under the blue sky and white clouds are incredibly photogenic. Strolling through the lush gardens filled with blooming flowers, every corner exudes a serene beauty🌿 For the second stop, we suggest taking a taxi or driving about 40 minutes to Zhanshan Temple on Zhiquan Road in Shinan District (open 09:00-16:00). From the lively Longwang Temple to the tranquil Buddhist sanctuary, you can instantly shift your mood. My favorite spot is the ginkgo trees in the temple; their golden leaves against the red walls make every photo a masterpiece! ✨Travel Tips: 1. Wearing Hanfu or plain long dresses complements the ancient architecture for photos 2. Both sites have stairs, so comfortable flat shoes are recommended 3. Don’t miss the famous vegetarian restaurant near the east gate of Zhanshan Temple 4. Late October is the best time to see the ginkgo trees at their golden peak for photos When you come to Qingdao, don’t just focus on the seaside—these hidden ancient architectural gems are even more worth visiting📸
