Mount Tiantai's Guoqing Temple: A Serene Sanctuary

▪️ Guoqing Temple Opening Hours: 7am-4pm ▫️ Recommended Viewing Time: Opening at 7am is convenient for offering the first incense ▪️ Guoqing Temple Admission: Free ▫️ Guoqing Temple Tea Service: Free tea provided (at a tea break spot) ▪️ Guoqing Temple is nestled within the Guoqing Scenic Area, and as you walk in, you can see the Sui Dynasty Pagoda before reaching the temple itself. The Sui Dynasty Pagoda is not accessible for climbing, but you can admire the architectural structure and style at its base, although the exterior shows some damage. Inside Guoqing Temple, every step reveals a different scene, and the temple complex is vast. You can see the Mahavira Hall, Arhat Hall, Scripture Room, and other areas, with lotus flowers and hydrangeas lining the temple corridors. There is a life-release pond (seems to be called 'Fish Kingdom'), filled with many turtles and fish, offering a supremely comfortable atmosphere.
