Pilu Temple is located on Hanfu Street, Xuanwu District, Nanjing. It was built between 1522 and 1566. Because the temple enshrines Vairocana Buddha, it was initially named Pilu Nunnery, one of the famous temples in Jinling. During the Republic of China, it became the center of Buddhism in China, and the Chinese Buddhist Association, the Chinese Buddhist Research Association, the Chinese Religious Fellowship, and the Capital Chinese Medicine Hospital were all established here. Pilu Temple is a 'Golden Light Bright Dojo', upholding the spirit of golden light, solemnizing the territory, promoting the holy teachings, and is unique in the Buddhist capital of Jinling. Pilu Temple once established the Chinese Medicine Hospital of China, becoming the center of Buddhist research and Chinese medicine research in China, and has an immeasurable impact on Chinese Buddhism, medicine and culture. It is a symbolic dojo for Chinese Buddhism to move from tradition to modernity. The ancient stele records: The smoke disappears at sunrise, the birds chirp and the flowers laugh, and the cars and horses are rare, that is Pilu Temple. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong changed Kaiyuan to Tianbao, welcomed the imperial concubine, entered Buddhism, and Buddhism was admired by the ruling class. Pilu Zen Temple was probably built during this period. After going through the Song and Yuan dynasties, and the passage of seven hundred years, Pilu Temple has undergone several renovations, but it is still inevitable to be ruined. Until the eighth year of Ming Hongzhi, the abbot of Pilu Temple gathered all his strength to renovate and expand on a large scale. By the fourteenth year of Jiajing, Pilu Temple, whether in terms of the number of monks, good farmland and real estate, or Buddhist activities, had reached an unprecedented scale. This is the peak of Pilu Temple in history. 1⃣The autumn in Nanjing belongs to the ginkgo. Qixia Temple and Jiming Temple are already well-known, but Pilu Temple next to the Presidential Palace of Daxing Palace is still a relatively niche autumn viewing spot. There were not many people visiting the temple during the National Day. 2⃣There are four ginkgo trees planted in the temple, and it is said that two of them were planted by Zeng Guoquan himself. 🌊Waiting for the wind, the ginkgo will roll up the waves, like tassels undulating up and down, gently capturing the sight and lens. 3⃣In addition to ground shooting, the Wanfo Tower can also be climbed. From above, you can overlook the entire temple, and you can also see the landmark buildings of Xinjiekou not far away. Deji Building, Xinbai, Jinling Hotel, etc. are all clearly visible, and even photos of the combination of ancient and modern temples can be taken. 🎮What's fun: ①On the lawn in front of the stone steps of Wanfo Tower, there are three sika deer living, and the words 'Fulushou Endless' are carved next to it, guessing that it should be a homophonic allusion. ②Throw a coin to make a wish, in the railing and the pond, the pilgrims bow their hands sincerely, and the onlookers keep silent. ③In the clear release pond in front of the hall, the koi fish shake their heads and wag their tails. The food they grab together always seems to be more fragrant. 💥tips: This year Nanjing is late in cold, it is estimated that it will not enter the best period of Pilu Temple ginkgo leaves until after November 25. 💰Ticket: 20 yuan, park annual card can be used ⌚Opening hours: 09:00-17:00 (stop admission at 16:30) 🚦Transportation: Take the subway to Daxing Palace and then walk, or take the subway line 2 to station, exit from exit, walk 500 meters; for friends who drive, the parking spaces on both sides of the road are limited, it is recommended to park in the 300 meters away Shenghe Mansion Hotel

The most stunning thing about Pilu Temple is the giant Buddha, the 8.8-meter-tall Avalokitesvara, which is also the biggest feature of the temple. Such a magnificent Buddha statue is rare in other major temples in Nanjing city. The two large ginkgo trees planted by Zeng Guoquan himself have turned yellow, forming a sharp contrast with the magnificent bright red building. The Pilu Temple was first built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty (1522-1566). It was originally a small nunnery. Because the temple enshrined Vairocana Buddha, it was initially named Pilu Nunnery. It was destroyed by war in the late Qing Dynasty and was later rebuilt.

Autumn is here🍂It’s time to travel to Nanjing again I think the best time of the year in Nanjing is autumn 🍂 The best place to see ginkgo trees in Nanjing is the Pilu Temple! From Shanghai, you can reach Nanjing in just over an hour by high-speed rail. The Pilu Temple is located near Xuanwu Lake and Jiming Temple, very close to Nanjing Station, and can be said to be a quiet place in the bustling city. If I could only choose one time of the year to go to Pilu Temple, I would definitely choose autumn 🍂 There are a total of 4 ginkgo trees in Pilu Temple, two of which are said to have been planted by Zeng Guoquan (Zeng Guofan's younger brother) himself. When autumn comes, the ginkgo trees in Pilu Temple turn golden yellow, which is simply stunningly beautiful. The tall century-old ginkgo tree and the Guanyin statue are in the same frame, as if they have traveled through centuries and broken dimensions. Looking down from the Wanfo Tower, it seems as if the Guanyin Bodhisattva is sitting there, admiring the ginkgo trees with us and overlooking all living beings.

After coming out of the Six Dynasties Museum, a continuous drizzle began to fall. Not far away is the Pilu Temple. Having previously visited the Jiming Temple, I saw that everyone shared that Pilu Temple is also worth visiting, so I went there with a bit of curiosity... The Wanfo Pavilion truly lives up to its name. As I ascended the steps, tens of thousands of Buddha statues appeared before my eyes, along with carvings made of giant clams, all speaking of their preciousness... Pilu Temple is hidden in the bustling city, different from the surrounding atmosphere. Here, one can find peace of mind, like a pure land in the heart, different from Jiming Temple. Perhaps because of the rainy day, there were not many people coming and going, which made it even quieter... The chanting from the Wanfo Treasure Tower enters the ears, instantly pulling back the wandering thoughts to reality. The rain curtain dripping from the eaves of the treasure tower delicately falls into the lotus pots, resembling the crisp sound of the temple's wooden fish, everything is just right... The past few days of citywalk have made me fall in love with this place more and more~

Piru Temple is located in Nanjing. It is a sacred and beautiful temple with a large Guanyin statue.

Vairocana Temple, founded during the Tang Dynasty's Tianbao era, is a lesser-known temple hidden in the western suburbs of Shijiazhuang, Hebei. It is famous for its exquisite Ming Dynasty murals and is one of the national key cultural relics protection units. The original scale of the temple was large, and now only the Sakyamuni Hall and Vairocana Hall remain. Both halls are painted with murals, with a total painted area of more than 200 square meters, making it one of the best-preserved important Ming Dynasty murals in China. The murals here, like those in Beijing's Fahai Temple, are also Ming Dynasty murals. Although their scale, painter's status, and historical value are not as good as Fahai Temple, they are not inferior in terms of mural craftsmanship, style, and exquisite degree, and they have unique characteristics. 🌟Tourist Tips: ①Opening hours: 9:00-16:30, the temple is closed at noon (we were asked to leave the temple at 11:30, probably open after 1 pm in the afternoon) ②Ticket: 20 yuan, please explain 20 yuan/person, no need to make an appointment ③Visit duration: 1 hour for a quick look, 2 hours or more for those who like to look at murals in detail ⚠️Tips: The murals in the temple are not like the ones in Beijing's Fahai Temple, which are all black for full protection. They still have natural light, but they are also very dark. If you don't use a flashlight, you can only see the outline and can't see the details. The temple itself does not provide flashlights. If you ask for an official explanation, the guide will bring a cold light flashlight to view the murals. If you watch it yourself, it is recommended to bring your own cold light flashlight. Many of the murals in the Vairocana Hall use the technique of gold leafing. You can use a flashlight to shine light from the side, and you can clearly see the raised gold line craftsmanship, but be sure not to touch the murals. Everyone has a responsibility to protect cultural relics‼️ Photography is not allowed for the murals, there are people patrolling, if you really want to take pictures, ⚠️never Turn on the flash to protect the murals 🚗It is recommended to drive by yourself. Friends from Beijing are recommended to check in with Zhengding. Arrange a 2-day and 1-night itinerary. You can check in Hebei Museum and Longxing Temple in Zhengding. It's definitely worth the trip👍
