Hidden Gem in Ninghai | A little-known ancient temple hidden in the mountains for 800 years.

|A little-known ancient temple hidden in the mountains for 800 years. This little-known ancient temple deep in the mountains is located near Jiulong Waterfall and Longgong Ancient Village in Yancang Mountain, but it is not well-known. Built on the mountain, the temple is surrounded by pagodas. Standing in the pagoda forest, you can overlook the entire temple and the magnificent mountains and rivers of Shenquan, Ninghai. It is a feeling of grandeur and a sense of relaxation! ❤Recommended reasons: Xiyou Temple was built during the Southern Song Dynasty, more than 800 years ago. The ancient temple was originally named Xiyou Nunnery, and was renamed "Xiyou Temple" in 2012. I have been to many temples, but I was still shocked by Xiyou Temple, which is hidden in the mountains of Ninghai. The Buddha statues and pagodas built along the mountain are solemn and spectacular. Standing under the pagoda on the top of the mountain, I felt like I was in Tibet. 📍Xiyou Temple 🏯Location: Ninghai County, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province 💰Tickets: Free 🚗Transportation: ➡️Drive directly to Xiyou Temple, free parking at the entrance ➡️Take a high-speed train to Ninghai Station, then take Ninghai Bus 808, and walk 2.4 km. Driving is recommended. 💫Tour time: About 1 hour 📌Travel tips [One] The temple is currently under renovation, and the cement road up the mountain is in poor condition, which is bad for tires. [Two] The photogenic pagoda is on the mountain behind the temple, and it takes about 10 minutes to climb. You can go down from the other side after taking photos. [Three] There are many mosquitoes in the mountains, so you can bring some mosquito repellent patches and flower water. [Four] Yancang Mountain and Longgong Village are not far away, and you can visit them in one day by car.
