The Guoqing Temple in the early morning is the most quiet and healing

'If the temple is established, the country will be clear.' It was built in the 18th year of the Sui Kaihuang period, originally named Tiantai Temple. Guoqing Temple was built according to the style drawn by the founder of the Tiantai Sect. It was rebuilt during the Yongzheng period and is one of the few 5A-level scenic spots that do not charge admission fees. Go and feel the gaze from the dry years, appreciate the thousand-year-old Sui Mei, listen to the bell of history, and all the hustle and bustle at this moment can be calm. 'Ancient temple of the Sui Dynasty' The wall of the temple stands opposite the gate of the Guoqing Temple across the stone bridge. The stream slowly flows under the bridge, hidden by the shade of the ancient trees. Before entering the temple, there is a sense of ethereal. The moss in the temple is full of steps, the old trees are lush, and the fragmented sunlight casts mottled shadows on the yellow wall carvings. The architectural style is changeable, and the clouds in the mountains are misty. Since the establishment of the Guoqing Temple, it has always maintained the tradition of 'agriculture and Zen are equally important'. Today's monks follow the 'no work, no food for a day', and the large paddy fields at the foot of the mountain outside the temple are their place of work. Today the weather is fine, just to encounter them drying a valley in the open space of the temple. Time: 7:00~16:00, we can go in at six and a half, maybe it's fate. Only when there are few people can you experience the deep connotation of the ancient temple for thousands of years and cleanse the soul. Guoqing Scenic Area
