Xinjin Guanyin Temple, a temple that was converted from a Buddhist temple, was originally built during the Song Dynasty, destroyed by war, and rebuilt in the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty. Today, the Pilu Hall and Guanyin Hall, two Ming Dynasty temples, still stand. With their simple and elegant structure, they are imbued with the legacy of the Song and Yuan dynasties in the Sichuan area. For enthusiasts interested in ancient architecture, this is also a great destination. I came here on the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, but unfortunately, both halls were not open. It's a pity that I missed the chance to see the exquisite Ming Dynasty national treasure-level murals and the floating sea Guanyin clay sculptures. Next to it is a tea garden, where a cup of flower tea costs 10 yuan, which is quite relaxing. Guanyin Temple

🌿Introduction Guanyin Temple is located in the south of Xinjin County, Chengdu City, about 7.5 kilometers away from Yongshang Town's Baoqiao Village. It faces the Qiongshui River, with mountains behind it, and is surrounded by green pines and cypresses and clear water. The mountains resemble nine peaks guarding and arching around like a lotus flower, hence the name "Lotus Receiving Emerald". According to traditional geomancy, the geographical pattern here is excellent, with the shape of the mountains resembling nine peaks surrounding and guarding like nine wonderful lotuses blooming together, making it a auspicious holy place for cultivating immortality. 🌿Guanyin Temple was originally called Pinggai Zhi (one of the 24 districts of Zhang Daoling's teachings). In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling, the founder of Taoism, established 24 districts (teaching districts) for the convenience of teaching. The middle-grade eighth district, Pinggai Zhi, is located here. 🌿Mural Came to see the exquisite original murals, which are located in the Pilu Hall of the temple. Although the hall is not large, the murals on the walls are really exquisite. They are very different from those modern "restored" murals. A small amount of sunlight shines through the window and in this dim environment, you can still vaguely see the Buddha statues on the walls shining brightly, as if you can feel the craftsmanship of the ancients from the strokes of the murals. If it weren't for the fact that photography is not allowed for the murals, I really want to capture the details of these murals. 🍜Catering Because it is close to the famous Xinjin Anxi Fishing Village, there are many restaurants nearby that serve fish. We randomly chose this Old Yang Hot Pot Fish Restaurant, where the hot pot base and dipping sauce are both made with the restaurant's specially blended doubanjiang sauce, paired with fresh fish head, it is very delicious and fragrant! 📍Address Chengdu Xijin District Jiulianshan Guanyin Temple, navigate to "Guanyin Temple", there is a free parking lot at the temple gate. Starting from Chengdu, the one-hour journey has good road conditions throughout, with no repairs or mountain roads. There may be occasional traffic jams due to accidents during the May Day period, but almost no traffic jams on other sections of the road.
