Jiming Temple(Ancient Jiming Temple)

Jiming Temple, located on the eastern slope of Jilong Mountain in Xuanwu District, Nanjing, is also known as Ancient Jiming Temple. Founded in the Western Jin Dynasty, it is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Nanjing, historically renowned as the "First Temple of the Southern Dynasties" and the foremost of the "Four Hundred and Eighty Temples of the Southern Dynasties," serving as a Buddhist center in China during that period. While the existing historical sites are few, the newly constructed buildings are quite impressive, with a harmonious and well-arranged layout and exquisitely carved Buddha statues.

Jiming Temple is a gentle imprint of time on Nanjing, possessing the solemnity of an ancient temple and the vitality of modern life. Red walls reflect Zen, eaves bear the marks of time; every brick and tile exudes the warmth and solemnity of years gone by.

Jiming Temple, located on the south bank of Xuanwu Lake, was first built in the Western Jin Dynasty and is one of the oldest and most popular Buddhist temples in Nanjing. The temple is small, with a very elegant environment and a constant flow of incense smoke. To the left is an altar for offering food, in front of which is the Maitreya Hall, above which are the Mahavira Hall and the Guanyin Pavilion. The temple is primarily inhabited by nuns, and it is said that the old version of the TV series "The Legend of the White Snake" was filmed here. Currently, some areas are under renovation.

[Scenery] When the weather is clear, the blue sky, white clouds and the pagoda are very photogenic. The nearby cherry blossom avenue is particularly beautiful. [Fun] There are 4 styles of cultural and creative ice cream. This white one is the most expensive, 🤣, I don’t remember how much it costs, about 25. There is a stamping activity in Jiming Temple, there are separate impressions, and there are also stamps that can be obtained by checking in four places. Remember to bring a small notebook 📒 [Value for money] Satisfied

Jiming Temple: A blend of ancient charm and romance I checked in at Jiming Temple on the weekend. This visit was an excellent experience and left a very deep impression on me. As soon as I stepped into Jiming Temple, I was attracted by the ancient charm of the ancient temple. The yellow walls, black tiles, flying eaves and brackets carry a thousand years of historical heritage, making people instantly immersed in a strong Buddhist atmosphere. Here, praying devoutly, the soul seems to have been baptized. And the most intoxicating thing is the cherry blossoms that are like clouds and clouds. Walking along the Cherry Blossom Avenue, there are flowers blooming above your head and fallen flowers under your feet. When the wind blows, the petals fall down, as if you are in a dreamland. The ancient temple and cherry blossoms complement each other, and the yellow walls, black tiles, and pink cherry blossoms form a beautiful spring painting. Every shot is a blockbuster. The surrounding food should not be underestimated. The authentic Nanjing snacks greatly satisfy the taste buds. The tour route is well designed. Whether you climb the city wall to overlook the panoramic view or stroll around Xuanwu Lake to enjoy the beautiful scenery, it is very interesting. Although there are many tourists, the scenic area is well-organized and the staff are enthusiastic. The only drawback is that the traffic is slightly congested during the peak period of cherry blossom viewing. It is recommended to take public transportation. In short, Jiming Temple is a great place that combines natural scenery, historical culture and food experience. I strongly recommend everyone to check in!

Du Mu's "Jiangnan Spring Jue" "Southern Dynasty 480 temples, how many buildings in the rainy rain." Pull people back from the bustling in front of them: Buddhism prevailed in the south, the scene of the temples. The first of the 480 temples, Jiming Temple, was built in Xijin, more than 1700 years ago, after many destruction and reconstruction, the current Jiming Temple building in the quiet place looks more simple and elegant.
