Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, the midnight bell tolls to the guest boat

Hanshan Temple was built during the Tianjian period of the Southern Liang Dynasty. During the Zhide period of the Tang Dynasty, the poet Zhang Ji passed by Hanshan Temple and wrote the famous poem "A Night Mooring by Maple Bridge," which made Hanshan Temple famous. The main attractions in Hanshan Temple include the Mahavira Hall, Sutra Library, Bell Tower, Stele Gallery, and Fengjiang Tower. The main scenery is collectively known as the Twelve Scenic Spots. On this trip to Suzhou, I saw the Hanshan Temple and Maple Bridge from the famous poem with my own eyes. The water under the Maple Bridge is gentle, and the ancient temple is solemn and dignified. It was worth the trip. 👍
