✨Beyond the hustle and bustle of the city lies a tranquil haven—Shuangfeng Temple. When I first heard its name, my heart was filled with curiosity and anticipation. What stories and charms does this ancient temple, hidden amidst the mountains and rivers, hold🧐? Shuangfeng Temple is nestled amidst the mountains and rivers, tranquil and full of ancient charm, perfect for those seeking an escape from the hustle and bustle. Here's a guide for your visit👇: Preparation - Documents: Bring your ID card; some attractions may offer discounts, so bring any relevant documents to save money💰. - Clothing: The temperature difference between day and night in the mountains can be significant. Even on sunny days, it's best to bring a light jacket🧥. For photos, light-colored or traditional-style clothing works well. - Other: Power bank, sunscreen, small backpack, tissues. Temples are generally quiet, and taking photos drains your battery quickly, so a power bank is very useful; sunscreen will protect you from the sun; a small backpack can hold your belongings; and tissues always come in handy. Transportation🚌 - Driving: Navigate directly to "Shuangfeng Temple." The scenery along the way is beautiful, but the mountain roads have many curves, so drive carefully. You'll see signs as you approach, just follow them. - Public Transportation: First, get to the local city center, then transfer to the special bus line to Shuangfeng Temple🚌. However, buses may be infrequent, so check the schedule in advance to avoid delays. Opening Hours and Ticket Information🎫 Opening Hours: [Specific opening hours].

Mountain Gate and Release Pool: The first thing you'll see is the ancient mountain gate, steeped in history. Take a photo here📸. Next to it is the Release Pool, with clear water and fish swimming around, adding a touch of vitality to the temple. 2. Hall of the Heavenly Kings: Entering the mountain gate, you'll find the Hall of the Heavenly Kings. The statues of the Four Heavenly Kings inside are majestic and solemn. Look closely, and you'll notice that each king's expression and attire are unique, carved with lifelike detail. 3. Mahavira Hall: The main building of the temple, it's magnificent and impressive, with stunning eaves and brackets. Inside, the Buddha statues are solemn and reverent. Light a stick of incense, close your eyes, and pray🙏, feeling the inner peace. 4. Scripture Depository: This houses many Buddhist scriptures. Don't miss it if you love books or are interested in Buddhist culture. While you can't browse freely, it's still nice to experience the atmosphere from the outside. 5. Back Mountain and Viewing Platform: After visiting the main temple area, take the side path to the back mountain. The air is fresh, and the vegetation is lush🌳. Walk to the viewing platform for a superb panoramic view of the entire temple and surrounding mountains and rivers—a perfect photo opportunity. Nearby Food🍜 - Vegetarian Cuisine: Highly recommend the temple's vegetarian dishes. The ingredients are fresh, the cooking is light yet delicious, and the prices are reasonable. Try the Mapo Tofu and stir-fried vegetables for a refreshing taste. - Local Farmhouse Dishes: There are several farmhouse restaurants near the temple where you can enjoy authentic local dishes like firewood chicken and dried bamboo shoots with braised pork. The flavors are amazing, and the portions are generous. Important Notes⚠️ - Temples are places of tranquility, so please keep quiet and avoid loud conversations. - Respect religious beliefs and customs. Do not touch Buddha statues or other religious objects. Life continues through movement, and health is strengthened through fitness. - Protect the environment.

🌈Shuangfeng Temple One of the three major ancient temples still existing in the Chaoshan area, one of the 'Eight Ancient Views of Jieyang' - 'Evening Bell at Shuangfeng' refers to the predecessor of this temple. 🌈Ding's Guanglu Temple The only old residence of Ding Ruchang, a practical official of the Westernization Movement during the Qing Dynasty, is a comprehensive functional building complex that integrates worship, living, book collection, and education, representing the typical Chaoshan-style ancestral hall. 🌈Zhongshan Road The iconic street of the old city of Jieyang, with its original arcade buildings, Zhongshan Road is still bustling with people and filled with a strong atmosphere of daily life. 🌈Copper Beating Street A characteristic street named after its profession, its long commercial history has become an irreplaceable cultural mark of the ancient city of Jieyang. 🌈Houpo Lane Mouth Reverse Sand Salted Egg Yolk The shell is crispy, sweet and salty, the filling of salted egg yolk is also fragrant and glutinous, but it can be greasy if eaten too much, just buy one or two to try. 🌈Fried 'Salted Veggie' Chicken Wings Just a few hundred meters away from the reverse sand salted egg yolk, the chicken wings without salted veggies are quite delicious, crispy on the outside and tender inside. 🌈Ah Xi Noodle Shop 400 meters away from the chicken wing shop, ordered a sweet and sour noodle with a bowl of pork meatball soup. The sweet and sour noodle comes with char siu, pork intestine, and pork stomach, all very tasty

Shuangfeng Temple, together with Chaozhou Kaiyuan Temple and Chaoyang Lingshan Temple, is known as the 'Three Famous Temples of Chao Region'. The 'Evening Bell at Shuangfeng' is one of the eight scenic spots in Jieyang. Located in Mashan Alley, Rongcheng District of Jieyang City, it is the center of Buddhism in Jieyang and the largest ancient temple in the area. It was first built in the tenth year of the Shaoxing era of the Song Dynasty (1140 AD), with the original site at Shuangshan of Panxi Du (now Shuangshan Village, Guiling Town), founded by Master Fashan. In the early Ming Dynasty, Master Shishan relocated it to the current site in Mashan Alley of the county seat, making it a major monastery in the eastern Guangdong region. At that time, the temple was magnificent, with solemn Buddha statues and lush bamboo forests. When the sun set in the west, the sound of bells, drums, cymbals, and gongs echoed, along with the chanting of sutras and the steady beat of wooden fish, creating a charming scene, making it a place for worshiping Buddha and sightseeing. After expansion, the temple became grand in scale, and thus was named one of the 'Three Famous Temples of Chaoshan' along with Chaozhou Kaiyuan Temple and Chaoyang Lingshan Temple. During auspicious celebrations, local officials and Buddhist patrons often came to the temple to worship after bathing. They would dismount from their sedans and walk the last three miles from the official road to the temple at 'Dinggai Mountain', showing their piety. According to folklore, when Jieyang County was rebuilt in the tenth year of Shaoxing, geographers believed that the 'earth dragon' traveled from the neck of the Lotus Mountain Range to Shuangshan, totaling 99 peaks. Eastward from there was the plain, and Yujiao Village was considered the 'focal point of spiritual energy'. Therefore, Shimumu Mountain, as the 99th peak, became a geomantic treasure, and Shuangfeng Temple was built. It is a comprehensive accumulation of ancient Jieyang culture. The overall architecture of the ancient Shuangfeng Temple is well-ordered, with exquisite details. The red ridges and carved beams, dragon arches, and hooked eaves dazzle with gilded brilliance. The Buddha statues and niches are all masterpieces of skilled craftsmen, grand and magnificent; the plaques, couplets, and steles are from elegant scholars, competing in beauty and fragrance.

Jieyang version of the Great Buddha Temple | The Shuangfeng Temple in the ancient city looks great at night. Almost every old city is paired with an ancient temple, just as the Great Buddha Temple is to the old city of Guangzhou, and the Kaiyuan Temple to the ancient city of Chaozhou. The ancient city of Jieyang is guarded by the Shuangfeng Temple. Shuangfeng Temple is located within the Rongcheng District of Jieyang city, originally built during the Song dynasty, renowned both domestically and internationally, and along with Chaozhou Kaiyuan Temple and Chaoyang Lingshan Temple, it is known as one of the three famous temples in Chaoshan. 'The Evening Bells of Shuangfeng' is also one of the eight ancient scenic spots of Jieyang. In recent years, Shuangfeng Temple is undergoing the first phase of expansion. The construction is basically complete and the lights have been fully turned on recently. The first phase includes two pagodas and a multi-story main hall, designed in the Han and Tang architectural style. It is currently the tallest building within the ancient city of Jieyang and has become a new landmark of the ancient city. There is no major road connecting Shuangfeng Temple and the main road of the Zhongshan Road arcade street district in the ancient city, so it is necessary to pass through some complex alleys in the ancient city. The wayfinding system is not yet perfect, so it is best for tourists who are not familiar with the roads to go back to Xuegong Square and then head to Shuangfeng Temple.
