It is really a pretty temple, the scale is really very large! As a must-see attraction in Yangcheng Lake, civilization is outside! The layout is similar to other temples. The main temple is dedicated to the Bodhisattva. There are various Bodhisattvas on the side, and a large treasure hall behind it is not open. There is a long bridge opposite the temple to a tower in the lake. The base is lotus-like. The tower is dedicated to the Guanyin of more than ten floors, which is spectacular. It is worth worshiping!
Chongyuan Temple is located on the north bank of Yangchengzhong Lake, Wuzhong District, Suzhou City. It was built in the Liang Dynasty. The southernmost island, the arched bridge passes through the lotus leaf pool, the Guanyin Dashi Pavilion, about seven floors high, is magnificent, and you can see the beautiful scenery of the entire Yangchengzhong Lake. You can see the big Buddha of Huayi Brothers Film and Television City. Go straight north, pass the mountain gate hall, reach the Tenno Pavilion, then the Sakyamuni Temple, where many true kings and Luohan are listed. In the middle of the hall and the Temple of the Tenno, is the temple of Wenshu Bodhisattva and Puxian Bodhisattva. Next to Wenshu Bodhisattva is the most delicious Zhai noodle restaurant. Back to the arch bridge, there are two coffee shops, and you can see the pavilion and harbor from the balcony. The Duobao Palace is not open to the outside world, many places are still being renovated, others are already incredible and perfect, five-star praise 😄.
The Guanyin Pavilion at the corner of the moth is located in the beautiful Yangcheng Lake, which is dedicated to the highest indoor viewing and video in the country; the magnificent Daxiong Palace is the largest single building in the domestic temple. The 15 yuan ticket, 10-20 yuan incense, is definitely a conscience price.
Originally planned to go to the holy land of great good, accidentally saw a water lotus temple in full bloom on Yangcheng Lake on the Internet - Chongyuan Temple, immediately changed the itinerary. The Chongyuan Temple was built in the Liangwu Emperor period in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it is only a year away from the Hanshan Temple built in the same era, and it is now 1504 years old.
I walked with the baby, just had a copy of the scripture, I copied it, I felt very good, the Buddha fragrance of the hall was refreshing, quiet, I had not felt this feeling for a long time, I felt that the magnetic field was right. The pigeons in the temple flew out of time and time, and they were also very high, not bad. In addition, the price of adding perfume is clearly marked!
