If the ancient trees are the roots of Nanguo Temple, then Du Fu's poems are its soul.

Meet Tianshui in the name of poetry! Encounter Li Bai and Du Fu across time and space! It is said that this is where Du Fu wrote "The dew is white tonight, and the moon is bright in my hometown". Nanguo Temple is located in a mountainous area 2 kilometers south of Tianshui City, Gansu Province. It is a quiet and ancient temple with a history of more than 1,000 years. The ancient temple is full of lush trees, and the "Spring and Autumn Ancient Cypress" in the temple has a history of more than 2,500 years. If the ancient trees are the roots of Nanguo Temple, then Du Fu's poems are its soul. In the autumn of 759 AD, the poet Du Fu lived in Qinzhou and lived in Nanshan, leaving 117 famous poems such as "The Nanguo Temple on the top of the mountain, the water is called the North Stream Spring" and "The dew is white tonight, and the moon is bright in my hometown". Climb to Nanguo Temple and look far away, the panoramic view of Tianshui City is in sight. As one of the famous temples in ancient Qinzhou, the trip to Nanguo Temple is not to be missed. The temple is not very large, and there are not many tourists. It is especially suitable for a quiet stroll. If you are tired, you can also sit in a bamboo chair and have tea in the bamboo forest. 📍Nanguo Temple: No. 54, Nanguo Road, Qinzhou District, Tianshui City, Gansu Province
