[2024 Wuxi Attraction] Travel Guide for Nanchan Temple (Updated Oct)

I stayed in Wuxi for two days and really didn't want to go home

Wuxi seems like a huge energy field... I would like to call it the INFP city! - Day1: Huishan Ancient Town - Jichang Garden - Xihui Park - Nanchang Street (Night View) Day2: Nanchan Temple - coffee walk - Light of Li Lake (Sunset) · 🏨Accommodation recommendation: Since I was traveling alone, I chose the ROCASE apartment hotel opposite Nanchang Street, which really has a high cost performance! A one-bedroom suite is also very suitable for couples or families with children, with a gym and a swimming pool, and breakfast is self-service. The restaurant also offers ordering service, and honestly, the food feels even better than eating outside~ The most important thing is that it's really convenient - 🍃Attraction recommendation: ✔️Huishan Ancient Town: A ticket-free scenic area, it's very comfortable to walk around and eat, and after the rain, the mist in the mountains is so spiritual! ✔️Jichang Garden: The most worthwhile place! It feels like a huge energy field! And it really heals you as much as any other garden ✔️Nanchang Street: You can come to take night photos, of course, it also feels very good during the day, with quite a few coffee shops ✔️Nanchan Temple: I found that the same type of prayer beads as in Yonghe Temple is only 1/3 of the price! It's really a bit outrageous, and it's so beautiful to walk on the bridge and take photos~ ✔️Light of Li Lake: The Light of Li Lake is so beautiful before sunset! Worthy of being called the little Sanya of Wuxi! It's also very comfortable to ride a bike here~

Temple Life in Wuxi China 🇨🇳

Nanchan Temple is a location near the city where one can come for a peaceful time of prayer, purchase prayer beads or related items, and be around other like minded faith individuals. I love this location because even though the downtown busy city of Wuxi is not so far away this location has always been ultra relaxing for me and others I have had the pleasure of visiting here with.

There’s also plenty of other places to go in the area as well. If you happen to be in there city, take my advice and give this place a quick visit. #china #🇨🇳 #travel #wuxi #temple

“The Most Flourishing Forest in Jiangnan” — Wuxi • Nanchan Temple

Nanchan Temple, also known as Fusheng Zen Monastery, is located at No. 32 Xiangyang Road, Liangxi District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, situated in the southern corner of the old city of Wuxi, by the ancient canal. Nanchan Temple was first built in the first year of the Taiqing period of the Southern Liang Dynasty (547 AD), originally named Huguo Temple. It was one of the famous temples in Jiangnan among the 480 temples of the Southern Dynasties, with the saying “Liangxi's grand temple, first Huishan, then Huguo.” In the first year of the Yongxi period of the Northern Song Dynasty (984 AD), a pagoda was built (later named Miaoguang Pagoda); in the third year of the Chongning period of the Northern Song Dynasty (1023-1031 AD), the temple was rebuilt and granted the name “Fusheng Zen Monastery,” commonly known as “Nanchan Temple,” and was called “The Most Flourishing Forest in Jiangnan.” The main buildings of Nanchan Temple exhibit the architectural characteristics of Buddhist temples in the Jiangnan region during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The beam structure inside the temple is relatively simplified, with beams and columns directly joined through mortise and tenon joints, without relying on the dougong layer. The height of the dougong on the columns occupies a small proportion of the total elevation but is densely packed. The eaves are relatively short, with beautifully curved flying eaves, elegant and lively. The roof has a steep pitch, with rich details in the tile work, reflecting the architectural style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Miaoguang Pagoda in the temple is a seven-story, eight-sided pavilion-style structure, with copper bells hanging from the eaves corners, praised as “the sound of the golden bell heard for ten miles, the jade dragon descending from the sky,” and is one of the “Eight Scenic Spots of Wuxi.” In 2012, the Nanchan Temple Scenic Area in Wuxi, where Nanchan Temple is located, was listed as a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.

Impressions of Wuxi: the ancient charm of Nanchan, the night scene of Nanchang, and the rainy mood of Hui Mountain

Impressions of Wuxi: the ancient charm of Nanchan, the night scene of Nanchang, and the rainy mood of Hui Mountain. 🌞Wuxi Trip: Encounter the tranquility of Nanchan, indulge in the night scene of Nanchang, and stroll in the rain of Hui Mountain🌧️ In this early summer season, I embarked on a journey to Wuxi, filled with infinite longing for this Jiangnan water town. At noon on the 18th, with the sun shining brightly, I arrived in this gentle city. The distance from the high-speed rail station to the hotel was just a stone's throw away, convenient and comfortable. The hotel was elegant and affordable, with a chain quality for about 160 yuan, making me feel warm and cozy. What's more delightful is that it's located right in the embrace of Nanchan Temple and Nanchang Street, as if it was a resting place tailor-made for my trip. 🏞️After dropping off my luggage, I couldn't wait to step into this ancient and charming world. Despite the high sun, the enthusiasm of the visitors was undiminished, and the solemnity of Nanchan Temple and the prosperity of Nanchang Street intertwined into a vivid picture. I wandered among them, feeling the historical charm emanating from every brick and tile. As night fell and the lights came on, the night scene of Nanchang Street was even more breathtaking. Compared with Nanjing and Suzhou, it had a unique flavor that made people linger and forget to return. Sitting alone under the bridge, avoiding the scorching sun, and enjoying the pleasant breeze on my face, at that moment, time seemed to stand still, and my soul found unprecedented peace. 🌧️However, the weather in Jiangnan is always changeable. That night, a light rain continued, heralding the arrival of the plum rain season. Although the rain was not heavy, it added a bit of poetry to my trip to Hui Mountain the next day. I bought tickets in advance and stepped into this ancient town with a long history. Hui Mountain Ancient Town, like many other Jiangnan ancient towns, is filled with a strong commercial atmosphere, but its simplicity and tranquility still intoxicate. The Suzhou-style gardens in the rain appeared even more gentle, with each raindrop seeming to tell a thousand-year-old story. Regrettably, due to the slippery roads in the rain, I was unable to climb to the top of Hui Mountain, but this regret also became a thought for a future revisit. 💡Here, I would like to remind friends who are about to embark on a journey during the Jiangnan plum rain season to check the weather forecast before setting out and to make rainproof preparations. A pair of waterproof shoe covers might make your journey more relaxed and enjoyable. At the same time, please also pay attention to safety and enjoy every intimate encounter with nature. My trip to Wuxi not only allowed me to experience the tranquility of Nanchan and the night scene of Nanchang but also let me find a spiritual home in the rain of Hui Mountain. This city, in its unique way, tells the story of Jiangnan, waiting for every traveler to listen and comprehend.

Nanchan Temple

Nanchan Temple, also known as Fusheng Zen Temple, is located at No. 32 Xiangyang Road, Liangxi District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, within the northern area of the Wuxi Nanchan Temple Scenic Area. It is situated in the southern corner of the old city of Wuxi, by the ancient canal. Nanchan Temple was first built in the first year of the Taiqing era of the Southern Liang Dynasty (547 AD) and was initially named Huguo Temple. It was one of the 480 temples of the Southern Dynasties. In the first year of the Yongxi era of the Northern Song Dynasty (984 AD), a pagoda was built (later named Miaoguang Pagoda). The temple was rebuilt during the third year of the Chongning era of the Northern Song Dynasty (1023-1031 AD) and was granted the name 'Fusheng Zen Temple'. It is commonly known as 'Nanchan Temple' and is reputed as 'the most flourishing forest in Jiangnan'. Nanchan Temple covers an area of 7,000 square meters and is divided into east and west routes, mainly featuring buildings such as the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the Mahavira Hall, and the Miaoguang Pagoda. In 1983, the Miaoguang Pagoda in Nanchan Temple was announced by the Wuxi Municipal People's Government as one of the first batch of cultural relics protection units in Wuxi.

A Day Trip to Wuxi

Nanjing university students visited Wuxi on a scorching hot day, and it was insanely hot. 1⃣️ Got up at 6:30 in the morning to catch the high-speed train 🚅 from Nanjing South at around 8:00 (really sleepy, could hardly open my eyes, you guys don't need to get up so early because it might not take that long). 2⃣️ After arriving in Wuxi, you can store your luggage first (here directly at the subway 🚇 station for free, don't look for luggage lockers, they are really unreliable). The subway staff will have you register your name and phone number, and give you a number tag, just come back to collect it when you're done, the guys and girls are really enthusiastic! 3⃣️ The first stop was Donglin Academy, directly accessible by subway, 500m walk from Donglin Square Station Exit 1 to the east entrance of Donglin Academy. If you want to check in at the main gate, remember to walk out of the south exit! The fountain inside Donglin Academy is really beautiful and worth taking photos of 📸. 4⃣️ Then, you can take a bus from Donglin Academy to Nanchan Temple, just two stops and two yuan (it's best to have coins ready, I couldn't open Alipay at the time, luckily I brought coins with me, it was super embarrassing 😳). There are many people offering incense at Nanchan Temple, and if you're interested, you can buy some at the entrance! Although it's not expensive, remember to shop around. 5⃣️ At Tianning Temple, we ordered the Overlord Tea Ji, which was a new product called Wanli Magnolia, ordered two cups, and got a badge blind bag, in which I pulled out a treasure ship 🚢. The new product is really the taste of Assam milk tea, those who like Assam can give it a try, the tea flavor is quite strong. 6⃣️ Then we walked to Nanchang Street, not far, but it was really hot in the scorching sun, almost killed me!!! The Xinwanxin on Nanchang Street is really delicious, Wuxi's special silver thread noodles hahaha, I had the chicken soup base, the red soup base is also very good, served with sweet and sour ribs, really fragrant, worth a try, and not expensive, a bowl of noodles is only 10 yuan, plus some side dishes, the average cost per person is just over 50. 7⃣️ After lunch, we took a taxi to the Wuxi Museum (it's quite far, if you don't want to ride a shared bike 🚲 or a shared electric scooter 🛵, just choose to take a taxi, it's not expensive, Didi is only about ten yuan). Wuxi Museum is quite large, if you look carefully, it will take a long time to visit. 8⃣️ The last stop was Sanyang Plaza, needless to say, Sanyang Plaza is really Wuxi's small Xinjiekou, very large, takes a long time to explore, we also went to Xiaolou Lane, but because it was too hot, we didn't stay long and just wandered in the mall until the end. Today's expense was 150↔️, discovered another city suitable for budget travel, hahahaha (maybe not suitable for budget travel, it's just that I'm rather poor).

Walking on the busiest streets, everyone has their own life to be busy with. On Nanchang Street, I met many impressive people, some making sugar paintings on the spot and others cutting silhouette portraits. I also saw various green plants. Having grown up in Chongqing, coming to Wuxi made me feel inexplicably relaxed, with that unique Jiangnan charm. Riding a small scooter🛵 by Taihu Lake, feeling the breeze on my face, looking at the sparkling water of the lake, reflecting a healing blue hue, that feeling is very relaxing. Just being by the lake, I could daydream for a whole day. You can't experience this kind of relaxation with a military-style trip...

I stand amidst the fireworks, witnessing the prosperity and vicissitudes of life

✅ Address: No. 32 Xiangyang Road, Liangxi District, Wuxi City, Wuxi Nanchan Temple Scenic Area Tickets🎫: Free🆓 This is the only temple I've visited where I only entered the main hall, not because there wasn't enough time, but because there were too many people. My biggest impression of Wuxi this time is the strong commercial atmosphere. Nanchan Temple has the largest external flow of people and is the noisiest temple I have visited so far. Generally, temples are quiet places, even with many visitors, they don't feel bustling, but during the May Day holiday, a market was set up outside Nanchan Temple, and not far away was a crowded food street, which made me feel like it could disturb those in meditation. ✅ The architecture itself is still very beautiful, with a stronger classical aura compared to Hengshan Temple (at the foot of the mountain) that I visited the day before. It would be nice to visit on a normal day, but during May Day, it's really not recommended, quite irritating.

Although Nanchan Temple is small, it is bustling with incense and closely connected to the historical district by the ancient Wuxi Canal. The Miao Guang Tower in the temple stands out among the pink walls and black tiles, becoming a landmark in this area. After worshipping in the temple, you can go shopping nearby, taste delicious food, and the night view here is definitely worth a look. Nanchan Temple was first built in the early years of Taiqing of Emperor Wu of the Southern Liang Dynasty (AD 547), and after many ups and downs, the temple we see now was rebuilt in the 1980s and 1990s. The south end of the temple is the main gate, and there are only a few buildings such as the Daxiong Hall on the north-south axis. The seven-story Miao Guang Tower on the east side overlooks the roofs of the antique buildings below, and the Nanchan Temple Wharf on the south side of the ancient canal, as if a scroll of the ancient canal is unfolding before your eyes. The Nanchan Temple Vegetarian Restaurant on the east side of the temple gate provides vegetarian meals, which can be ordered for takeaway. The area around Nanchan Temple has formed a commercial area, with all kinds of snacks, antique markets, flower and bird markets, and book cities. You can go shopping for some small items. The snacks here are similar to most tourist attractions in Wuxi, such as stinky tofu, Wuxi ribs, grilled chicken wings, etc. Out of Nanchan Temple is Nanchan Temple Pedestrian Street, a few steps to the east next to the temple is a Mu Guiying food store, which some tourists call "a place to eat after visiting Nanchan Temple", mainly selling pastries and snacks, magnolia cakes, green groups, small cages, and zongzi are all good.

Heading towards 'Xi'

Finally came to play in Wuxi! 📍Nan Chan Temple Do you remember the line from Du Mu's 'Spring in Jiangnan': 'Four hundred and eighty temples of the Southern Dynasties, how many towers and pavilions in the smoke', Nan Chan Temple is one of them. 📍Nan Chang Street Water and land run parallel, with river streets adjacent. The houses on both sides of the river live along the river. As time goes by, many interesting shops have sprung up. Find an afternoon, invite a few friends to take a walk, listen to the Pingtan tunes, watch the new things, and the afternoon is gone.

In the Jiangnan area, there are many temples due to historical reasons. Especially during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there were poems in the "four hundred and eighty temples of the Southern Dynasties, how many buildings were in the rain." In the Southern Dynasties, many temples were built in the Jiangnan area, and there is such a place in Wuxi, Jiangsu. The Nanchan Temple in the center of Wuxi is one of the 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties. It was built in the early years of the Southern Dynasties of Emperor Liangwu (AD 547) and has a long history of nearly 1500 years. This temple was originally called Huguo Temple. It ranks second in Wuxi Temple, second only to Huishan Temple. It is a well-known ancient temple in Jiangnan. Nanchan Temple has become a landmark in Wuxi. Now it has built a commercial street in Nanchan Temple. Both locals and foreigners like to come here to visit, but now the size of Nanchan Temple is much smaller. If you visit, you can walk around in 20 minutes. The temple maintains the architectural style of the Jiangnan area during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. A towering tower in the temple is the symbol of Nanchan Temple. The Miaoguang Tower is 43.3 meters high and was built in the Northern Song Dynasty. It has been more than a thousand years old. Nanchan Temple was rebuilt in the Northern Song Dynasty Tiansheng, and Song Renzong gave the name "Fusheng Temple". Eight years later, Song Renzong gave the name "Shousheng Temple" to the North Zen Temple corresponding to Nanchan Temple. It is a very glorious thing for the same emperor to give names to the two temples in Xicheng. Nanchan Temple is located in the city center and is easily accessible by subway.
