Hanshan Temple Photos: Trip Moments
Five recommended check-in places in Suzhou without pitfalls1, Pingjiang Road A Pingjiang Road, half of the Suzhou city🍃 Pingjiang Historical and Cultural Block is a miniature of the ancient city of Suzhou with white walls and green tiles, small bridges and flowing water, old-style houses.. It is the style of the Jiangnan water town. The favorite place to go to Suzhou is Pingjiang Road. It is very convenient to arrive, near the subway entrance. The unique Suzhou-style architecture is full of Jiangnan atmosphere. 2, Hanshan Temple 'Outside the Suzhou city is Hanshan Temple, the bell rings at midnight to the guest ship' (Came to the place in the poem) Choose a good weather to come to Hanshan Temple, blue sky and white clouds, yellow walls and green trees, don't take too many pictures. I heard that the koi in Hanshan Temple is very spiritual, come and touch the koi's head, don't worry about everything 3, Guanqian Street There are too many delicious foods on Guanqian Street! It takes half an hour to walk a road, all eat and drink. Guanqian Street is recommended to go, there are many people and many foods~ You won't be hungry here haha! The pedestrian street is in the shape of a well 4, Xiyuan Temple The biggest feeling of Xiyuan Temple is calm🍃 Compared with it, there are not many people who come early to eat vegetarian noodles and vegetarian buns. There are many local people but they don't need to queue. When you come to Xiyuan Temple, you will be given 3 incense for free when you enter the door. The temple administrator will say that you will burn incense first and then come to touch the cat. However, this small temple is really worth a visit. It is a combination of a temple and a garden. It has the characteristics of Suzhou gardens and the quietness of the temple. 5, Eslite Bookstore Although the Eslite Bookstore is called this name, it is actually a shopping mall-like existence. There are bookstores, catering, shops in the building, selling some toy children's clothing, the clothes look good and the price is very suitable, very good shopping, there are three floors, one floor is a music album, Jay Chou's album is really very complete. One floor is cultural and creative products, all kinds of cute peripherals are hard not to be moved, and there is a floor of books! There are best-selling rankings, and there are books of various types! Worth a visit!JackBeaumont48
Suzhou Hanshan Temple: Unveiling the Mysteries of this Millennium-old MonasteryHanshan Temple is located ten miles west of Suzhou City in Fengqiao Town and belongs to the Linji school of Zen Buddhism. During the Tang Dynasty's Zhenguan era, the renowned monks Hanshan and Shide founded the temple, which houses numerous ancient relics, including stone inscriptions by Zhang Ji, stone statues of Hanshan and Shide, fragments of inscriptions written by Wen Zhengming and Tang Yin, among others. It was once one of the top ten famous temples in China. Attraction Information: Address: No. 24 Hanshan Temple Alley, Gusu District, Suzhou City Ticket Price: 20 yuan per person Opening Hours: 7:30-16:30 (Entry stops at 16:00 and the garden is cleared at 16:30) Transportation: Take Metro Line 1 to the 9002 community bus East Line, or take bus 313/301/33 and get off at Heshan Bridge or Laifeng Bridge, then navigate to Hanshan Temple by car. Travel Tips: Burning Incense for Blessings 1. After entering through the west gate, the incense burning area is right at the main entrance of the Grand Hall. A family blessing incense is 80 yuan per set, which can be purchased outside the temple or brought by yourself. It is recommended to worship clockwise from all sides, using the left hand to light the incense and place it in the censer 2. To the left after entering is the Arhat Hall, where you can find an arhat with whom you feel a connection and bow three times 3. In the Bell Tower, you can ring the bell for blessings, 5 yuan for 3 rings. On New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, there is a bell-ringing ceremony of 108 rings, which is said to symbolize the elimination of 108 kinds of worries 4. In the Sutra Copying Hall, you can copy sutras for free. The hall is located next to the Vegetarian Hall, and copying takes about half an hour. Once finished, place the copied sutras in the cabinets on both sides 5. Feed the koi for 10 yuan per pack. After purchasing the fish food, you can feed the koi up close and share in their good fortune. Note that one pack of feed should only be fed by one person 6. At the Dharma Items Distribution Center, you can purchase a string of eighteen beads for 50 yuan per string, with an orderly queue Experience Review: Outside Gusu City lies Hanshan Temple, where the midnight bell tolls reach the guest boats. I thought it was famous just for a poem, but it was a great surprise! Travel Feelings: Listening to the bell inside the hall truly allows one to calm down and feel the most authentic self. Just find a place to sit and watch different people praying and kneeling, experiencing the tranquility of the temple.NIA BRIGGS

A temple fulls of Chinese poem ♥️#chinatrip Located in Gusu district in Suzhou, Han Shan temple that built for over 1300 years, covering 13000 square meters is one of the top 10 famous temple in China. It has gained its popularity among the Chinese people because of a poem from a famous poet, Zhang Ji from Tang Dynasty and nowadays, it has been written all over the temples by many poets in variety of fonts. Besides that, the temple is famous with a super giant bell that allows the believer to ring it and pray to get the blessing from the god. Right opposite of it, a super huge monument writing the poem on it is also towering over to commemorate ZhangJi. If you travel to Suzhou, make sure you put it in your list and spend a least 2-3 hours to explore the poetic and picturesque place♥️ Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Seay Doer
Autumn Scenic Spot | Autumn in Suzhou begins with Hanshan Temple| Autumn in Suzhou begins with Hanshan Temple. When you feel the cool breeze, it's the time when autumn quietly arrives🍂. "The moon sets, crows cry and frost fills the sky; maple trees and fishermen's lights reflect my troubled sleep." In the must-visit list for autumn appreciation🎞, Hanshan Temple in Suzhou is definitely a renowned spot🔥. · 🕌🕌Hanshan Temple 🗺Address: Fengqiao Road, Gusu District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province · Autumn in Suzhou begins at Hanshan Temple🕌. When an autumn breeze blows the ancient bell in the temple tower overnight🔔, in an instant, bright yellow leaves flutter down, and the red maples set off the corner pavilions, presenting a vivid autumn oil painting🎨. The autumn days at Hanshan Temple are truly suitable for leisurely autumn appreciation. Light pink and bright yellow form the main color scheme of the temple🎈, with the bright yellow complementing the yellowing leaf tips. The warm sun of autumn frolics on the walls and eaves, twinkling with a comforting warm light. Take a deep breath, and the inconspicuous osmanthus flowers hidden among the trees, carrying an intoxicatingly strong fragrance, vie to enter your lungs. And it's not just the osmanthus that's bursting with lively energy, but also the pond full of koi and the cats that can be seen everywhere🐱~ The cats lazily enjoy the autumn sun☀, and if you get hungry, go for a bowl of the temple's unique vegetarian noodles🍜. Even simple food can bring you great satisfaction!marcelinesilverwood81
Once you enter Gusu, you are surrounded by the beauty of JiangnanIn mid-January, we arrived in Suzhou, Jiangsu We visited the Hanshan Temple, known for the verse 'Outside Gusu city, Hanshan Temple's bell tolls reach the passenger boats at midnight,' enjoyed the scenery, and fed the koi We went to Pingjiang Road, full of Jiangnan charm, tried on Hanfu, and tasted Suzhou-style snacks We strolled along Shantang Street at night with its dimming lights, and felt the breeze of Suzhou ... The most satisfying part of this trip was the homestay we chose. It was clean and sanitary, with a duplex structure, Nordic style, warm and comfortable indoors, and it was also very cheap! Just over a hundred yuan in price! Overall, I am very satisfied with this trip! I love Suzhou so much!tyrell_29411
Outside Suzhou City, there is the Hanshan Temple, where the midnight bell tolls reach the guest boatsThe impression of Hanshan Temple probably all comes from this poem 'Mooring by Maple Bridge at Night'. 🚊🚊Hanshan Temple: No. 24, Hanshan Temple Lane, Gusu District, Suzhou City Time⌚️7:30-16:30 【Transportation】 Subway: Metro Line 1 > Community Bus East Line 9002 Bus: Route 313/301/33 Get off at Heshan Bridge or Laifeng Bridge.

More sight from the Hanshan Temple!The Hanshan temple is a really huge tourist location, it’s located towards the western part of Suzhou, this location is one that I found was really good for photography. you can see many different spots around the area that are highly photogenic. I Definitely recommend that you visit this place during the spring time, a time which I feel you would experience this temple at its finest. I visited this spot with my photography buddy and walked around and got these awesome shots. One thing is that this spot can get pretty crowded. so many tourists and locals come to visit this spot which sometimes makes it really crowded so you have to find the right time to come if you mind having random tourists walk into your shot. #scenicspotguide #travelinspiration #momentsmission #unforgettableexperiences #springholidayLayed back central71

🧎🏻 Dive into becoming Poet for a day#chinatrip After visiting the 1000years temple - Hanshan Temple, there is this huge bell that is actually the sub-site of this temple. Reason being the chinese poem does mention the sound of the bell that reminded the poet about the arrival of the ship by the ship deck at late hour while waiting for someone that poet misses. The huge bell was covered in a small pagoda and were well kept for its purpose. To add-on, there is this huge stone carved with the poem about less than 200metres away. Strongly recommend to also visit this place before leaving to next destination.Jason Egg1
Outside the city of Gusu is the Hanshan Temple🌟Highlights: Burning incense and worshiping Buddha, ringing bells, copying scriptures, eating vegetarian noodles, feeding carp. 📝Tips: ❗️Copying scriptures is free, there are two places to do it, 1️⃣ one is next to the vegetarian noodle restaurant, 2️⃣ one is near the side exit, the 2⃣️ place closes at 4 o'clock, and they won't let you in after 3 o'clock, there are three types of scriptures to copy, you can choose freely. ❗️If you are queuing when you go to the vegetarian noodle restaurant, don't book in advance online, the price is the same, the serving of group purchases is very slow, it will be faster to sit down and scan the code to order after queuing. I only went there to check in with the poem 'Outside the city of Gusu is the Hanshan Temple, the bell rings at midnight to the passenger ship', but I didn't expect to be attracted by the copying of scriptures after I got there. Copying scriptures really calms the mind, those who are interested can try it.Travel and Table

The Hanshan Temple. Suzhou from Above!This was one of the most aesthetically impressive places that I’ve been privileged to fly my drone at. this majestic place is located in the Gusu district of Suzhou China. This is a Buddhist temple and Monastery characterized by its wonderful Chinese structures and its rich traditions and culture. The current name of the monastery derives from Hanshan, the legendary monk and poet. Knowing all this, I was sure that I had to make the trip to see It for myself, and of course I took my drone with me so I would be able to get a unique perspective of the whole experience! The general temple are was free to enter, except for the main temple which I could only properly capture from an aerial perspective. #suzhou #scenicspotguide #china #travelinspiration #temples #hanshantempleLayed back central54
One of the must-visit temples in China - Hanshan Temple."Outside the Gu Su city lies the Cold Mountain Temple, at midnight the bell rings for the passing boats" - How can one claim to have been to Suzhou without visiting the Cold Mountain Temple outside the city? The temple is not big, but the incense is very strong. Some people say that it is most effective to pray for marriage here. So the young talents who kneel in front of the Buddha become the incense guests here. 🌟Highlight features: In history, Hanshan Temple was once one of the top ten famous temples in China, with many ancient relics and stone inscriptions inside the temple. Every year there is a bell-ringing ceremony for New Year's Eve. Some say there are 108 worries in a year, and in Buddhist scriptures it says "Hearing the sound of the bell, worries are cleared, wisdom grows, and enlightenment arises." On this day, ringing the bell 108 times can eliminate all worries. 🕙Business hours: Early 7, late 6, park entry stops at 17:30. 📍Detailed address: Suzhou City, Gusu District, Fengqiao Road. 📝Attention tips: It's best to find a guide to get a deeper understanding of the representative of this city. You will gain a lot during the two-hour tour.NovaKnight8

There are a lot of tourists in Hanshan Temple on the weekend, the incense is very strong, the taste is good. If you drive by yourself, the road at the door is very blocked, and the parking space is quite tight. It feels more convenient to public transportation or take a taxi.
Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, the bells to the passenger ship in the middle of the night. Suzhou must punch in the attractions, there are many people, and the incense is strong. Many celebrities write inscriptions inside, and there are famous Fengqiao night parking attractions outside. The surrounding vegetarian tastes good too.
