This is Yangzhou.

It's best to come to Yangzhou on weekdays, otherwise the weekend experience may not be as good. The main purpose of visiting Yangzhou is to eat and play. In the morning, arrange to have morning tea. We recommend the Garden Teahouse or Ye Chun on Yanfu Road (after eating, you can take a walk nearby, there are sightseeing boats and the Tianci Zen Temple). If you want something more upscale, you can go to Quyuan for morning tea, which is right next to Shouxihu Lake. For lunch or dinner, you can find a restaurant to try Huaiyang cuisine. We recommend Yangzhou Banquet, Pingshan Banquet, Yangzhou Lion Tower, Xishi Tower, etc. As for places to visit, start with Daming Temple, then go to Shouxihu Lake, Dongguan Street, Ge Garden, He Garden. Yangzhou is a place for slow living, so take your time to savor it.

Fireworks at Daming Temple

On the day I went to Daming Temple, although it was already May, the weather was gloomy and cold, making me feel that my clothes were too thin. That day, the temple was holding some kind of religious ceremony, and the monks were lined up in the bustling temple, chanting scriptures. Standing inside the temple and looking at the Qiling Pagoda, one could feel a sense of antiquity. However, upon closer inspection of the building materials, this pagoda, like the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, has been rebuilt in modern times with a reinforced concrete structure. The Jianzhen Memorial Hall, although also a modern construction, has a layout and design worth appreciating. It was only after I returned home that I learned it was designed by Liang Sicheng, and indeed, the work of a master is distinctive.

Enter the Millennium Ancient Temple - Daming Temple in Yangzhou

Daming Temple, located in the northwest suburbs of Yangzhou city, was founded during the Daming era of Emperor Xiaowu of the Southern Song dynasty (457-464 AD), and has been renamed several times, known as the number one temple in Huaidong (and it's not a 'Taoist temple'). Visit Highlights 1. Jianzhen Memorial Hall: Designed by the famous architect Liang Sicheng, there is his stone statue on the left side of the entrance, and on the right side, there is the stone statue of Zhao Puchu, the former president of the Buddhist Association. 2. Pingshan Hall and Ouyang Shrine: The house where Ouyang Xiu served as the prefect of Yangzhou. Leaning on the railing, one can gaze at the mountains of the south of the Yangtze River, which are level with the line of sight, hence the name 'Pingshan Hall'. 3. Gulin Hall: Built by the great literary figure of the Northern Song dynasty, Su Shi, during his tenure as the prefect of Yangzhou. The name comes from the words 'valley' and 'forest' in Su Shi's poem 'Deep valleys are secluded, and high forests are supportive'. 4. The Qianlong Emperor's Stele: Engraved with three poems written by the Qianlong Emperor when he came to Daming Temple to pay homage to the relics of Ouyang during his tour of the south of the Yangtze River. 5. The Fifth Spring: From the 'Tea Steeping Notes' written by Zhang Youxin, the top scholar of the Tang dynasty in the ninth year of Yuanhe (814 AD), which says 'The water of Daming Temple in Yangzhou is the fifth best'. 6. Qiling Pagoda: Houses three sarira (cremated relics) of Sakyamuni Buddha, and from the top of the pagoda, one can view the entire city of Yangzhou. Ticket Price: 45 yuan, and an additional 20 yuan is required to climb the Qiling Pagoda. It is recommended to buy a combo ticket that includes nearby attractions such as Slender West Lake and Ge Garden, which is valid for two days. You can save 5-10 yuan, and after visiting Daming Temple, you can conveniently go to the nearby Slender West Lake (close to both the north and east gates). It is best to book tickets online in advance. Transportation: There are special tourist buses like Tour 1 and public buses to Daming Temple station within the city. From high-speed rail stations such as Nanjing South Station and Nanjing Station, you can choose several buses like the Z6 route at the eastern or western transportation hubs, some of which transfer to tourist buses like Tour 1 and Tour 2, and some take you directly to the Pingshan Hall parking lot nearby, like Tour 3. It is recommended to download navigation apps like Baidu Maps or Amap for the clearest directions to Daming Temple.

What is it like to live in a scenic area in Yangzhou?

Staying in hotels while traveling is something we are all familiar with, but living directly in a scenic area is an experience I believe few people have had. This time, when I went to Yangzhou, my best friend and I booked the Fuhui Jingshe, located in the Daming Temple scenic area, and got it all in one step! 🌸 The hotel is right at the entrance of Daming Temple. Turn left out of the door, and you can enter Daming Temple. There is a shuttle bus from the parking lot of Jianzhen College to the hotel entrance, which is very convenient. However, the scenery along the way is so beautiful that taking a walk is also a great experience. 🌸 The hotel has obvious advantages being in the scenic area, with beautiful views from the window, flowers, trees, and a lake. You wake up to the sound of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and at night, there are stars twinkling. We stayed in a pagoda-view room, where we could see the illuminated Qiling Pagoda at night. 🌸 The front desk prepared white tea and a fruit plate for our room, and there was a Hanfu experience in the lobby. The lady at the front desk patiently taught us how to wear Hanfu. After changing into Hanfu with my best friend, we first experienced sutra copying in the courtyard, and then went to take beautiful photos in the scenic area! The front desk sells tickets for Daming Temple, and tickets for Slender West Lake can also be purchased. You can wear Hanfu directly out and just return it before checking out, which is super user-friendly.

Daming Temple in Yangzhou

You haven't truly been to Yangzhou unless you've visited Daming Temple. Upon arriving in Yangzhou, we first make our way to Daming Temple, this ancient monastery stands quietly and unassumingly in the northwest suburbs. Following the long pathway, we ascend to the entrance, where the scenery of Daming Temple is pleasant and the architecture is simple. Although it lacks the imagined splendor of golden rooftops, it still possesses a cultural heritage that spans a thousand years.

Praise for Yangzhou

Returning from Yangzhou, I no longer gaze upon the lakes, Simply because the West Lake in Yangzhou pales in comparison. The spring breeze paints a picture over ten miles of clouds, While the fireworks in March weave a tapestry of brocade. Let's listen to how the ancients praised Yangzhou: The world's moonlit nights are divided into three parts, Two of which, shamelessly, belong to Yangzhou. It means that out of the world's moonlight splendor, Yangzhou occupies two parts... A decade passes in a dream of Yangzhou... The spring breeze flows for ten miles along Yangzhou's roads... Descending upon Yangzhou in the fireworks-filled March... In life, one only wishes to reside in Yangzhou... Glancing back at the willows, one reminisces about Yangzhou... Su Shi said: Among all my companions in the south, who is like me, drunk on Yangzhou? Xin Qiji stated: In the distance, I still recall, the beacon fires on the roads to Yangzhou. Du Mu said: Whose home is singing the water tune, with the full moon over Yangzhou? A Tang poet said: One should only wish to die in Yangzhou, for the scenic beauty of Chan Zhi Mountain makes a fine burial ground. A Song poet said: Amidst the noisy feast with music and song, through the curtains and lantern lights, the scenery resembles Yangzhou. Written by Ren Jun in Yangzhou on April 21, 2024.

The Millennium Ancient Temple | Daming Temple in Yangzhou

Daming Temple, located on the middle peak of Shugang in the northwest suburbs of Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, was named for its initial construction during the Daming years of Emperor Xiaowu of the Southern Song Dynasty (457-464 AD). Over the past 1500 years, the temple's name has undergone many changes, and the temple we see now was built during the Tongzhi era of the Qing Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, when Master Jianzhen served as the abbot of Daming Temple, he traveled to Japan to teach Buddhist scriptures and Chinese culture, making Daming Temple an important ancient temple in the history of Sino-Japanese Buddhist and cultural relations. The Daming Temple is divided into three parts: the central part is the main temple architecture, the eastern part is the Qiling Pagoda, and the western part is the garden-style backyard. The main temple buildings in the central area of the scenic spot are divided into three routes running from south to north. Along the central axis from south to north are the archway, the mountain gate, and the Mahavira Hall. The western route mainly features Ouyang Xiu; to the south is the Pingshan Hall built by Ouyang Xiu when he was the governor of Yangzhou, and to the north is the Gulin Hall built by Su Dongpo when he held the same position. Further north is the Jianzhen Memorial Hall, with the Sutra Depository Tower to its east. The Qiling Pagoda in the eastern part was originally built by Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty to celebrate his birthday. The pagoda we see now is a reconstruction of the Sui Dynasty's pagoda, with 9 stories, housing Buddhist relics and a nanmu Buddha pagoda inside. Visitors can climb to the top of the pagoda to overlook the entire Daming Temple and gaze into the distance at the Slender West Lake. The Jianzhen Memorial Hall is the most important building in Daming Temple. Jianzhen traveled to Japan six times, bringing Chinese Buddhism and culture to Japan. He presided over the construction of the Toshodai-ji in Nara, Japan, and eventually passed away there. The Jianzhen Memorial Hall was built to mimic the style of Toshodai-ji. 📍Detailed address: No. 8, Pingshan Hall East Road, Hanjiang District, Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province 🚉Transportation strategy: {Get on at Yangzhou Railway Station}, take bus route You 1 to Daming Temple Station, walk for 5 minutes to reach. {Get on at Yangzhou East High-speed Railway Station}, take bus route You 3 to Pingshan Hall Ecological Parking Lot Station, walk for 5 minutes to reach. {Get on at Jiangdu Railway Station}, take bus route 99 to Wanfuzha East Station, transfer to bus route You 3 to Pingshan Hall Ecological Parking Lot Station, walk for 5 minutes to reach. 🕙Business hours: 08:00-16:30 Ticket price: 45 yuan

Daming Temple

It is recommended to visit Yangzhou at the end of March. Although it's a bit early and the scenery is not at its best, the advantage is that there are fewer people. By April, I guess you can only see crowds . Daming Temple on a sunny day is well worth a visit. Climbing the Qiqi Ling Pagoda to look afar, the whole Slender West Lake is in sight. Next time, I should bring binoculars. The 26 yuan ticket is very worthwhile, but the staff at the entrance of the 8th floor did not allow us to see the Buddhist relics, saying that the 8th floor is for worshipping Buddha and you can't visit if you don't worship, which is a bit regrettable. I especially liked the wind chimes at the Jietan Courtyard 🎐, their tinkling sound paired with Buddhist music is very pleasant to hear. There are two black swans in the pond next to the Fifth Spring. When called from the shore, I didn't expect them to actually swim over and peck at my feet, indicating they wanted food , which was too adorable. I think Daming Temple is well worth a visit.

Yangzhou | After the snow, the Daming Temple is as stunning as a fairyland at a glance

Everyone says that the fireworks in March go down to Yangzhou, but although the spring flowers are there every year, the spring snow is a rare encounter!
