Shooting date: October 25, 2024 Every autumn, I love to go to the Forbidden City to take pictures of the row of yellow leaves on the west wall of the Forbidden City. It’s very beautiful. Today I went to Huguo Yongguang Temple, and suddenly I noticed a row of ginkgo trees next to the red walls and gray tiles, which looked a bit like the Forbidden City. No wonder there are so many "empresses" in Trip Moments. However, compared with the Forbidden City, there are still far fewer visitors to Huguo Yongguang Temple, and it is free. Although the temple is not an old building, the east tower inside is very old: it was built by Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty and completed in the second year of Shunzhi (1645) of the Qing Dynasty. The East Pagoda is a Tibetan Lama Pagoda with a height of 33 meters. The square Xumizuo is the base. There are tall and mighty stone lions on the pot doors on both sides🦁. There is a wind bell on the pagoda. When the wind blows, it will make a tinkling sound, which is very nice. 🍂Huguo Yongguang Temple Address: No. 2, Dongta Street, Dadong District, Shenyang City Opening hours: 09:00-16:00 Tickets: Free ⚠️There is a parking lot at the door but it is very small. There is an alley across the road where you can park.
