[2024 Tianshui Attraction] Travel Guide for Jiaolong Temple (Updated Sep)

Tianshui Spicy Hotpot Trip ∣ Jiaolong Temple, A Journey of Purification!

👍 Most Recommended: Jiaolong Temple was originally called Wuming Temple. During the reign of Emperor Hui of Jin, it was renamed 'Jiaolong Temple' because two rivers intersect here, resembling two giant dragons. It is one of the ancient temples in the area. ❤ Recommended Reason: Jiaolong Temple is said to be the place where the ancestor of humanity, the Old Mother, transformed into Taiji and evolved all things. The Old Mother of Wuji is the ancestor of the human ancestors such as Fuxi, Nuwa, Shennong, and Xuanyuan. The temple faces south and is symmetrical along the east-west axis. Within the temple, there are various halls built according to the mountain's terrain, including the Old Mother Palace, the Three Emperors Hall, the Three Teachings Hall, the Laozi Hall, the Great Buddha Hall, the Great Achievement Hall, the Wenchang Hall, the Guanyin Hall, and the Zhenjiang King Hall. ✅ Must Experience: 1. The distance from the temple gate to the Old Mother Palace at the mountain top is about 1 kilometer. Along the way, there are large fields of crops and vegetables, winding mountain roads, and dense forests providing shade, with a refreshing coolness that is invigorating. Climbing up the steps, the ancient architectural complex of Jiaolong Temple appears tranquil and solemn amidst the green trees. 2. Monks and practitioners live in the temple, and they are very warm and kind. At mealtime, they will sincerely invite you to dine in the restaurant. The vegetarian meal is very clean and hygienic, and it is worth experiencing! 🎫 Ticket: Free 🚉 Transportation Guide: The address is located within the Maiji Mountain Scenic Area, Maiji Village, Maiji Town, Maiji District, Tianshui City, along County Road 633. 🚌 Public Transportation: Take bus No. 34 or 37 to Maiji Town Government Station, then walk about 700 meters to reach the temple. 🚗 Self-driving: Navigate to Jiaolong Temple in Maiji District, Tianshui. Note that the entrance to the village where the temple is located is a five-way intersection. After crossing the bridge, go to the right front (not the right turn, which is the second right), and proceed less than 100 meters to reach the temple. ❤️ Tips: 1. The temple has Jiaolong Academy, which provides free vegetarian meals and accommodation. 2. The so-called cultural relics exhibition room on the map is actually the monks' living quarters, and there is nothing inside!
