Good places to go in Chengdu on weekends | It is said that the Shijing Temple is super effective for seeking marriage and career
🍀 In Chengdu, when it comes to seeking career and marriage, everyone must think of the Shijing Temple, a thousand-year-old temple with a strong incense. So I took advantage of the recent good weather on the weekend, and I also went to pray with my friends. Unexpectedly, after going there, I found out that it is also super photogenic here.
