Traveling in Wuhan in October Picture one: The photos taken at the Gude Temple in Wuhan are very impressive, it's a great place for check-in and photography Picture two: At the place where we stayed, there is a crab street next to it. The crabs are very cheap, but if your home is far away, don't mail them (the postage is expensive). They can steam them on the spot and give you dipping sauce, which is really fresh. Picture three: We went under the Wuhan Bridge, where you can take a walk, but there are really a lot of mosquitoes in October. I was bitten a lot. Picture four: My girlfriend Picture five: There are many commercial complexes in Wuhan and they are indeed quite large. It is recommended to check in advance which complex to go to, otherwise you will have to run around. Picture six: I remember these two restaurants seem to be quite famous (forgot ), but maybe it's my personal reason, after eating spicy crabs, I got acute gastroenteritis (which led to a hospital visit, due to time constraints, many places didn't go to wash regret, can only go again next time), lotus root soup is still very delicious!

Gude Temple in Wuhan is a mesmerizing blend of Eastern spirituality and European architectural grandeur. The temple's stunning European-style buildings, with their intricate details and ornate facades, create a unique and captivating ambiance. As you step into the temple grounds, you are transported to a realm where Eastern and Western aesthetics seamlessly converge. The fusion of Chinese and European architectural elements is a testament to the temple's rich history and cultural exchange. Explore the temple's halls and courtyards, adorned with delicate sculptures, colorful frescoes, and elegant columns reminiscent of European palaces. The serene atmosphere and the harmonious coexistence of diverse architectural styles make Gude Temple a truly enchanting destination for visitors. Whether you seek spiritual solace or architectural marvels, Gude Temple offers a remarkable experience that transcends cultural boundaries and showcases the beauty of cross-cultural influences.

Definitely worth the visit. Tho the place is very crowded during the weekend, I suggest going on weekdays for a less crowd and better pictures .It's a bit far from the metro station approximately 15 minutes walk,maybe take a bus instead or a taxi. Very historic and the temple looks nice on the inside too . You can pray inside it and give your offerings.It was a nice experience.

When people think of Wuhan, they think of Covid so on my trip there I wanted to see what the city really had to offer. I found Europe, so many parts with Spain or German influence around in Wuhan. I visited this temple on a whim and with standard China temple thoughts in mind. It’s free to enter, but you must wear a mask and show a health code. At the gate you will meet some locals who look after the area, in particular the plants. You can also donate money as you first enter if you wish. The temple area isn’t huge but it does give Cathedral vibes. You can walk around inside the 2 buildings but you’ll also find many other people there to take photos. I went in the morning and it was pretty quiet and empty. I took a taxi from my hotel over in Jiang’an area to Gude Temple and it took roughly 10 minutes to arrive. #urbanexplorer #awesomepic #wuhan #wuhantravel #temples

[cp] There is such a special punch in Wuhan.

Wuhan Traveling Museum is very characteristic of the ancient temple first sight of the ancient temple, I really can't believe this is a Buddhist temple, I believe this is a mosque. Later, I checked and the Ancient Temple was a fusion of Han Buddhism, Indian-Indian Buddhist Temple, Ancient Greek Temple, Gothic and Islamic architecture. Under the Western-style architectural style, Chinese-style Buddhist culture is born, and the Chinese and Western walls are combined to give a very novel visual experience. Tickets: You need to pay incense money when you enter the door. There are 8 yuan, 15 yuan, 38 yuan incense price. Traffic: Gude Temple is not easy to find, take bus No. 30, No. 332, No. 2, and No. 3 to Bus Station of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Road, and follow the mobile phone for 5 minutes.

Because I love to use my camera to capture the present, I rarely travel alone. This trip to Wuhan was my first solo trip. I had seen companion photography services before and thought they were a great value. They charge by the hour (I found one for CNY 59/hour) and will accompany you to shop, eat, and play, and most importantly, take photos of you. However, it is not easy to find someone with the same aesthetic and interests as you, and to get along well with them for two or three hours the first time you meet. - 📷Photography Route (3 hours): Gude Temple—Li Huangpi Road—Sanshengju Double-Skin Milk—Bagong House—Former Site of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China—Orthodox Church—Xian'an Fang—Qingdao Road—Pinghe Packing Factory—Jianghan Customs House—Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street - ✔️Gude Temple: If you go to Gude Temple, you will have good things happen to you. For people who don't like taking photos, this attraction may be boring, but for me, it was a great place to take photos. ✔️Li Huangpi Road & Bagong House: It seems that every city has a "Wukang Mansion." In Wuhan, it is "Bagong House." There were so many people there. I was curious about the empty scenes in the online photos. What time were they taken? There is a Sanshengju Double-Skin Milk nearby that is quite delicious. ✔️Xian'an Fang: The red brick houses reminded me of Shanghai. The alleys are very artistic. ✔️Qingdao Road: I saw many Taobao shop owners taking street photos. I took a few photos and they were very stylish. ✔️Jianghan Customs House & Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street: Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street starts at Jianghan Customs House. It is very lively, and there are many people in front of the snack stalls. After saying goodbye to the companion photographer, I went to eat at a popular food stall. The taste was just okay. I preferred the Ju Wei Yu Xiao Xian on Wansongyuan Road that I had the day before.

The plaque with the words "Heart and mind are good and ancient, and virtue is universal" is the origin of the name of Gude Temple. It is a Chinese temple with a history of nearly 150 years, and surprisingly, it is a Han Chinese Buddhist nunnery. Unlike traditional temples, Gude Temple has a unique Gothic architectural beauty! Its fusion of traditional Chinese culture and Eurasian religious architecture is the first wonder of Han Chinese Buddhism.

Gude Temple

Gude Temple on Gongnongbing Road, Erqi, was discovered by accident when I first started working. I went there several times, and there were never many people. The incense fee was 8 yuan, then it was free, and now the ticket is 13 yuan. If a place is popular, and stays popular, it must have something special about it, in addition to the publicity. 🌈A blend of ancient and modern, East and West Gude Temple was demolished during a special period, and only the core building, the Yuantong Hall, remains. It was built in the third year of the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. The hall uses the structure of ancient Roman architecture, with a corridor and many square columns between the inner and outer walls. The round and long windows on the facade are in the style of a Christian church. The pagoda finials of its nine pagodas look like both weather vanes and crosses, making it unique in Chinese pagoda culture. It is one of the four major Buddhist temples in Wuhan. The address of the temple, Erqi, also has a lot of history. It is closely related to the "February 7th Strike" that occurred in 1923, which is mentioned in history textbooks. Although it has become an internet-famous place today, it is still worth visiting Gude Temple to see this unique "grafted" building in China! 🚇Transportation: Take Metro Line 3 to Luojiazhuang Station, Exit B, and walk for 10 minutes. Or take bus No. 30 to Gongnongbing Road, and walk for 3 minutes. 🎫Ticket: 13 yuan/person, on-site purchase 📷Gude Temple photo spots: ·Take photos of the building from the side of the square, next to the long bench, using the foreground. ·The side of Gude Temple is less crowded and good for taking photos.
