The most beautiful ancient building in southern Zhejiang, hidden deep in the dense forest

🔍Zhejiang has many famous temples, such as the Lingyin Temple on the West Lake, the Guoqing Temple in the chaotic world, but the most yearning in my heart is still the Shisi Temple. ⛩️Shisi Temple is located in Jingning, Lishui, hidden in the mountains, for a long time no tourists know, under the care of 1500-year-old Cryptomeria fortunei, through more than 700 years, quietly staying on the hillside, with the mountains and trees, everything is quiet. 🏯The main hall of Shisi Temple has been identified as a building of the Yuan Dynasty, and the lower eaves were added during the Ming Dynasty. There is also a bell tower from the Ming Dynasty and two buildings from the Qing Dynasty in the courtyard. The three "generations" of Yuan, Ming and Qing are in the same hall. 🏆Nowadays, as a key cultural relic protection unit, Shisi Temple no longer has Buddha statues and incense burners. The empty buildings are even more mysterious, like a silent old man, standing quietly. 📍Address: No.1, Xian Di, Dajue Township, Jingning She Autonomous County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province 🈺Opening hours: 9:00-18:00
