Nanjing Donglu Mountain Guanyin Temple | The giant Buddha statue is so stunning!

| The giant Buddha statue is so stunning! Hello~ I'm Xia Ji, a worker who recharges through travel~ Nice to meet you~ This Labor Day, I felt everyone's love for Nanjing❤‍🔥. Actually, Nanjing has many lesser-known but beautiful spots. Today, I want to recommend a super stunning giant half-body Buddha statue~ Many people know about Nanjing's Jiming Temple, but few know that in Lishui's Donglu Mountain, there is a lower court of Jiming Temple: Guanyin Temple! It is backed by Donglu Mountain, facing Zhongshan Lake, and is known as the source of the hundred-mile Qinhuai River. The temple🛕 was originally built during the Yuan dynasty, named Donglu Mountain West Foothill Guanyin Nunnery, and after several ups and downs due to wars, it has now become the lower court of Jiming Temple and has been listed as a key temple construction by the provincial and municipal governments. There is a giant half-body Buddha statue here, and seeing it can only be described as stunning! Pray devoutly🙏, hoping for smooth sailing and all wishes to come true~ The entire temple covers a large area, and the route for touring from bottom to top is👣: Guanyin Cave➡ Jingping Square➡ Sending Child Guanyin➡ Half-body Great Buddha➡ Guanyin Zen Temple 💰Ticket: 🆓 The temple is still under renovation, and the admission is currently free. 🚗Arrival: About 1h drive from Nanjing city center, free parking Take the high-speed train to Lishui Station, and a 10-minute taxi ride will get you there 🔖Touring Tips: 1⃣ The half-body Great Buddha is beautiful at sunset, with the sun☀ above the Buddha's head, giving a feeling of sunshine spreading all over 2⃣ The temple's facilities are not yet fully equipped, so you can bring some water and snacks, but please do not litter 3⃣ It is recommended to tour from bottom to top, take photos📸, climb to the top and then return the same way, with a touring time of about 2-3 hours 4⃣ When visiting the temple, do not wear revealing clothes and avoid making loud noises 5⃣ It is advised to wear comfortable shoes👟 as the scenic area is large and involves climbing steps 💡If you have enough time, I recommend visiting a few nearby attractions in Lishui, which can be toured together 🔸Wuxiang Temple Reservoir (suitable for camping, walking children and dogs) 🔸Tianshengqiao Scenic Area (annual music festival venue, known as the 'Little Three Gorges') 🔸Wuxiang Water Town (evening performances and food)
