Time-Traveling Journey | Exploring Ganlu Temple in Guangfu Ancient City

| Exploring Ganlu Temple in Guangfu Ancient City. 🚗🏰 Time-Traveling Journey | Exploring Ganlu Temple in Guangfu Ancient City 🌟 🌿 Embark on a self-driving trip, heading towards the depths of history in Guangfu Ancient City. After wandering through the ancient charm of Hongji Bridge, my steps were drawn to an ancient temple called Ganlu Temple. 🏯 You might have heard of Ganlu Temple from the Three Kingdoms stories, but it has nothing to do with this Ganlu Temple. This Ganlu Temple, though not famous, has a history of 1400 years. It is said that Princess Nanyang, the third daughter of Emperor Yang of Sui, once practiced here, but the truth of history is always elusive. What remains unchanged is that Ganlu Temple has weathered storms and witnessed countless dynastic changes. 🌸 The current Ganlu Temple is located outside the east gate of the ancient city, separated from the ancient city by only a river. Entering the temple, the new halls and Buddha statues, though lacking the vicissitudes of history, are still solemn and magnificent. Along the central axis, the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the Mahavira Hall, and the Sutra Library are arranged in sequence, with the Bell and Drum Towers and the Guanyin Hall cleverly interspersed. 🌳 Strolling between the corridors and streams, shaded by green trees, with fish playing in the water and birds singing. Arched bridges, flowing water, long corridors, and weeping willows, like a moving garden painting. This is undoubtedly a sanctuary for the soul. 📍 Location: Dongguan, Guangfu Town, Yongnian District, Handan City, Hebei Province, east side of Guangfu Ancient City, Temple East Street. 🕒 Opening hours: 8:30-17:30, the temple gate closes after dusk. 🕰️ Recommended visit duration: about 1 hour 🚙 Transportation guide: Drive to Ganlu Temple in Guangfu Ancient City, there are free parking spaces in front of the temple.
