Off-the-beaten-path spot

🚞🚞🚞 The last long holiday of 2023 has ended. Besides returning to busy work, don't forget to go out and see more! Autumn is a season suitable for praying. The bell of the temple rings in the golden autumn, praying for Buddha for thousands of years. There are many temples around Chengdu, but there is a temple hidden in a water town ancient town that you may not know about, which is 1.5 hours away. It is Bishan Temple, which combines Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. 🚎🚎🚎 Bishan Temple is located on Shangzheng Street in Xinchang Ancient Town. The entire temple is built across the Eryan River that runs through the ancient town. It was originally built to worship the then Chongqing Bishan County magistrate Li Wanchun. He pleaded for the people and later became a temple where the locals worship their ancestors and gods. 🍃🍃🍃 The temple is not big, distributed on both sides of the Eryan River. The front side is the 'Guanyin Hall' mainly for worshipping Guanyin. After passing through the Guanyin Hall and walking in, passing through a row of particularly flavorful wooden corridors, you will come to Bishan Hall. After passing through Bishan Hall and walking across the river bridge, you will come to the main hall on the other side, the 'Daxiong Baodian'. The entire temple uses a lot of wooden structures, with lotus leaves in the lotus pond and small bridges running water, which has the taste of Suzhou gardens. 🍵🍵🍵 In addition to burning incense and praying, the temple also has a tea room. If you are tired from walking, you can sit down and brew a pot of clear tea, and sit quietly by the small bridge and running water. 📍Location: Bishan Temple, Shangzheng Street, Xinchang Ancient Town, Dayi County, Chengdu City 🚗Parking: Cars can be parked in the ancient town parking lot ✈️Surroundings: After visiting Bishan Temple, the door is Xinchang Ancient Town.
