What are the low-key temples in Nanjing?

Buddhism has been circulating in China for a long time. There are temples all over the country, and many temples can be seen everywhere. Nanjing, as a city with a long history, is of course indispensable, but most of the temples in Nanjing are low-key and not well-known, but not well-known does not mean that their temples have low cultural value. There is such a temple in Nanjing, with more than 3,000 gold-plated Buddha statues, but few people know it.

Brief introduction of temples

This is Pilu Temple, located in Xuanwu District, Nanjing, which was built at 1522. This is an ancient temple with a long history. The origin of its name is that Pilu Jinna Buddha is enshrined in the temple, and it is also one of the Buddhist centers in China. Many Buddhist associations in China were established here. It is said that the completion of this temple is a joke. In the Qing Dynasty, Ceng Guoquan met a Haifeng mage while playing.

Introduction of scenic spots

Perhaps because the geography here is not very good, and there are other reasons, many foreign tourists here don't know the existence of this temple. It is no different from ordinary temples, and it is all in the form of a mountain gate and a heavenly palace. When you enter the temple, you can see a watchtower. This watchtower is very beautiful, a typical cornice with bells hanging on it, which looks very pleasing to the eye.

The most important thing in the temple is the 3,000 Buddha statues with different shapes in the Wanfo Building. These Buddha statues are all gold-plated in bronze. Whenever the sun shines on these Buddha statues, they will emit golden light, which is very spectacular. Walking into the Wanfo Building, you can see that the roof here is very beautiful, and there are many colorful murals, which are really carved beams and painted buildings. But what we are seeing now is recovery.

The most indispensable thing in the temple is the clock. Of course there are clocks in Pilu Temple, but the clocks here are different from other clocks. Generally, most of the clocks we see are black iron, but the clocks here are all gold with two lifelike dragons on them. There are not many beautiful Zhong Zhen like this. Temple tickets 15 yuan, not expensive, well worth going, but few people go.

abstract

Nanjing is a famous historical and cultural city in China. Many scenic spots here are quite famous, such as Zijin Mountain and Confucius Temple, but there are few people in this Pilu Temple, but it is precisely because there are no people that it can become a meditation place and the surrounding environment is peaceful and quiet. In short, this is a temple worth visiting. Have you ever been here? What do you think of this place? If you have a better idea, please leave a comment.
