Xi'an | Qinglong Temple

| Qinglong Temple. Qinglong Temple, originally established in the second year of the Sui Kaihuang era (582 AD) and initially named Linggan Temple, is a Buddhist Tantric monastery with profound historical significance. Among the famous 'Eight Great Masters who entered Tang Dynasty,' six were Japanese monks who practiced here, making it a sacred place in the hearts of Japanese people and the ancestral temple of the Shingon sect. In 1986, Qinglong Temple engaged in cultural exchange with Japan, introducing over a thousand cherry blossom trees. From March to May each year, the cherry blossoms bloom spectacularly, creating a poetic and picturesque scene. In addition, the temple also displays a variety of flowers such as peonies, peony roses, and tulips, attracting numerous tourists to visit. Consequently, Qinglong Temple has also become one of the popular local spots for wedding photography.
