West Chan Temple is one of the five major Buddhist temples in Fuzhou. It is one of the key temples in China. It is located at the foot of Yishan Mountain in the western suburb and on the south west side of Industrial Road. A couplet of couplets ""Lishu Four Dynasties Spreaded to Song Dynasty, the bell rings in Tang Dynasty for thousands of years. " This is a couplet written by Zhou Lian in the Qing Dynasty, which indicates that "Xichan Temple" is an ancient temple in the Tang Dynasty. Tickets are 20 yuan per person. Compared with the crowds in Nanputuo, Xiamen, it is quiet here. A door is a beautiful picture. Avalokitesvara is standing in the pool, reflecting the pavilion, pagoda and blue sky behind. It is absolutely stunning. There are 36 large and small buildings, covering 7.7 hectares, including Tianwang Hall, Daxiong Palace, Fa Tang, Tibetan Jingge, Jade Buddha Tower, Guanyin Pavilion and the living room, Zen Hall and Abbot's Room. The Jiuqu Bridge in the Free Life Pool has a landscape pattern similar to that in the south of the Yangtze River. The weather is very powerful. Because there are fewer tourists, it is also more Zen-like. When I was tired of visiting the Litchi Tower in the temple for lunch, I ordered a vegetarian noodle for one person. It cost 15 yuan, which is also full of sincerity. If more people can try to order, this is the old vegetarian restaurant in Fuzhou. Built in 1990, it is 67 meters high and has a 15-storey Pagoda of Reimbursement. It is the tallest temple in the province. The Pagoda is a solemn and beautiful artistic stone pagoda, with reinforced concrete as its bones, decorated with graceful granite and carefully carved Buddha statues and Buddhist stories on the walls of each pagoda, and decorated with patterns of birds, animals, flowers, grass, insects and fish. Can be clockwise around the pagoda, accumulate merit, bless Buddha. The temple is covered with ancient litchi trees, and the Buddhist temple hall reflects the garden art and Buddhist charm under the cover of pine forests and litchi trees.

    Xichan Temple, since the temple was built, has planted lychees everywhere, and the habit of "climbing lychees on the mountain" for thousands of years has spread to the present. The existing Song Yu has withered four times, the trunk center has withered and decayed, and only the outside of the remaining less than 10 cm thick cortex supports, strong survival. Under the careful care of the temple monks, Song Yu's fate changed and he was successful again. 7/8 I went to the lychee meeting. The staff was picking Song Yu and asked for 2. The first time I ate the lychee that just left the tree, I was lucky. Xichan Temple is majestic, orderly, exquisite and magnificent. Whether you enjoy the scenery or burn incense and worship Buddha for safety, you can come to Xichan Temple to walk around, avoid the noise of the world, and feel the special beauty of Buddhist culture and art. Tickets 20, each place to worship incense, there is incense placed, take it yourself, a stove of incense, very orderly. There is also tea supply, very for the sake of the pilgrims.

    Xichan Temple, just next to Fuzhou Vientiane City, the red monastery building, in the sunshine of Fuzhou, is more eye-catching, from the outdoor platform of Vientiane City, it is very beautiful! Vientiane City is also delicious! There is a Japanese cuisine that is very good.

    Xichan Temple Travel Notes: The heart is not quiet, so the ticket for the ancient temple is 20. Student half price QR code payment. There is a ticket at the door. I originally only wanted to see the scenery. Take a photo and take a walk. I stopped and took photos. When I thought about things, I went to the Pagoda. I felt that I took a few more photos. An uncle with a kind eye came up to him: "Little beauty, don't leave in a hurry after taking a photo, you go to the top to see, go around the tower, it is very beneficial. Amitabha" I didn't believe this, but it was difficult to be kind, index to see, go up to see the comments, walked a circle, do not want, really clear a lot. So there is a harvest. Walking to the bridge to see the fish, there are birds stretching their wings, there are turtles breathing, one person sprinkled a handful of breadcrumbs and surrounded a pile of fish. Very interesting. A father took the child and walked on the corridor and said: Bye to Guanyin Dashi. The child did it and left. I think this is life, and I think this is faith. I have been in a cage for a long time and I have returned to nature. As a college student, learning is my job, but too many things trap us, and my busy little tour can be described as full of gains. But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, you have to leave, because the world needs us, and we can't leave the world. When we go out, the door is engraved: Back is the shore

    From Wushan Road through the Second Ring Road, you can get to the West Chan Temple. It also belongs to the tourist attractions of Fuzhou, and can be arranged in this way if you travel one day (three lanes and Seven Lanes --- gt; Wushan --- gt; Yushan --- gt; Xichan Temple). In addition to praying for Buddha, Xichan Temple is also a scenic spot worth visiting. The garden style inherits the typical characteristics of Jiangnan, but there is no lack of atmosphere. There are many people during the Spring Festival. If you want to savor it carefully, it is suggested that the peak should be staggered (non-traditional holidays).

    Just on the industrial road, the traffic is very convenient, the building inside is very beautiful, the Pagoda is now locked and not allowed to go up, but there is a loft of Luohantang next to it, and you can see the city overlooking it. At 3:30 in the afternoon, the temple is the time for monks and believers to recite the scriptures. You can see it at the entrance of the temple, quite solemn.
