[2025 Huangmei Attraction] Travel Guide for Huangmei Sizu Temple (Updated May)

The Fourth Patriarch Temple and Fifth Patriarch Temple, the birthplace of Zen Buddhism, are famous and nearby, so I came to visit. It was very quiet, the parking lot was almost empty, and there were few tourists. There were many monks in the temple. Some ancient buildings have been preserved, but most of them are newly built. I didn't go to Luhua Temple. Although the scenery along the way was not very beautiful, the tranquility was rare.

Fourth Ancestor Temple. Pilu Pagoda, All Beings Pagoda, Robe and Bowl Pagoda, Dharma Transmission Cave, Lingrun Bridge. Pilu Pagoda is the true body relic pagoda of the Fourth Ancestor Daoxin Master, built in the Tang Dynasty, it is a single-story four-door pagoda with a pavilion-style brick structure imitating wooden construction. Lingrun Bridge was built in the 10th year of the Zhizheng period of the Yuan Dynasty (1350), among which the "Biyu Liu" stone inscription written by the Tang Dynasty calligrapher Liu Gongquan and Liu Zongyuan's "Biyu Liu in front of the Poge Mountain" are precious. Goodbye, Hubei

#Literary Traveler The Sizu Temple Scenic Area in Hubei is a holy place that makes people feel relaxed and happy. 🙏A 33-meter-high towering Buddha statue, with its handsome face and serene expression, is like a towering spiritual fortress, giving people endless tranquility and wisdom. Standing in front of it, I couldn't help but stand in awe. 🗿 Continuing along the path, the view suddenly opens up and a magnificent temple stands before us. Its exquisite architectural craftsmanship and magnificent momentum all demonstrate the long-standing charm of Chinese culture. As you enter the temple, you will immediately feel the power of faith, and your soul will be bathed in the Buddha's light. 🏛️ Behind the temple is a quiet Chinese garden. The winding paths lead to secluded places, and the pavilions, towers, green bamboos and flowing springs complement each other, making it seem like a fairyland on earth. Walking along the small bridge and flowing water, I was immersed in the tranquility and forgot the hustle and bustle of the world. 🏞️🌳 Surrounded by the giant Buddha, temples and gardens of Sizu Temple, the noise in my heart gradually subsided. This is not only a religious holy place, but also a place where people's souls can be sublimated. 🙏🕊️
