It's not the Forbidden City, it's Xi'an's most low-key royal ancient temple!

Towering and majestic steps, layers of palaces, golden glazed roofs... Some angles are quite reminiscent of the Forbidden City! However, at least 90% of the locals in Xi'an have never been to this temple. The location is not remote at all - it's in the bustling old city, bustling all year round at Sajin Bridge! There are so many people on Sajin Bridge that every restaurant has to queue up to eat, but in this Yunju Temple just a few steps away, you can find a rare tranquility, as if you have passed through the boundary of reality. This low-key and even somewhat mysterious temple, for many years before, was only open two days a month. I recently found out that the temple has quietly changed to be open every day! Although the backyard part still opens on the first and fifteenth of each month, the front yard is already very beautiful, whether it's shooting architecture or portraits, it's very photogenic📷 👉West Five Terraces Yunju Temple It is said that it was built by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty to honor his mother and facilitate her worship of Buddha. The temple faces west and east, built on the ruins of the southern wall of the Taiji Palace in the original Tang Chang'an City. Because there are five high terraces, one higher than the other, it is called the West Five Terraces (there are three high terraces, two in the front yard and one in the back yard) 🎫Tickets Free🆓, no reservation required ⏱Opening hours The front yard is open from 8:00 to 11:00 in the morning and from 14:30 to 17:00 in the afternoon. The backyard is open on the morning of the first and fifteenth of each lunar month
