    "Sanchu First Buddha Land, the only Royal Monastery" to understand a city, you must first look at its ancient temple. For most Wuhan people, this Baotong Temple, which has a history of more than 1,000 years, is a familiar and strange place. It is the four most famous Buddhist jungles in Wuhan, the oldest monastery in Guiyuan Temple, Baotong Temple, Gude Temple and Lianxi Temple. According to the historical data "Baotong Temple Zhi": Baotong Temple was built in the Liu Song Dynasty (A.D. 420-479), and has a history of more than 1600 years. It is the only royal monastery in Wuhan. The temple has also been guarded by 10 emperors and 6 princes in history. Today's Baotong Temple has also been renamed many times in history. During the Liu Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, "Dongshan Temple" was changed to "Mituo Temple" during the Tang Zhenguan years, and during the Duanping years of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Dongshan was changed to Hongshan, and the temple was named "Chongning Wanshou Temple". During the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, the temple was called "Baotong Temple", which has been maintained to this day. The existing Temple was built for Qingguangxu for five years (1879), and the scale and decoration are the first of Wuchang's temples. This is the origin of Baotong Temple. When traveling in Wuhan, Baotong Temple has to come. The bright yellow exterior walls of the temple are particularly dazzling, but they give a sense of solemn alienation. Entering the temple, although in the downtown area, it has a unique tranquility that is very different from the noisy neighborhood outside the temple. Look at the nameplate introduction: here is a grass, a tree, a peak and a stone. Baotong Temple has the release pool, the holy monk bridge, the rendition hall, the east and west hall, the grand xiong hall, the ancestral temple, the chan hall, the Buddhist college and other buildings, the temple back mountain has the Hongshan pagoda, the law palace, there are also small pavilions, layer stones, strange stones, the path, Huayandong, Bailongquan and other scenic spots. Traveling all the way, I found that the monastery buildings of Baotong Temple are very similar to the buildings of Beijing's Forbidden City. Maybe it has always been a royal monastery. Go straight deep, hidden in the lush jungle of Hongshan, the Hongshan Pagoda, standing under the blue sky, the color of brick red, revealing a trace of mystery. As the only royal temple in Wuhan, Baotong Temple witnessed the rise and fall of the feudal imperial rule in China, and is a witness to the history of various eras and the history and culture of Wuhan. Cockroaches, birds, ancient bells, incense, lazy cats, this sunny afternoon, come to Baotong Temple, will we encounter it? ! Travel tips: Baotong Temple address: No. 549 Wuxu Road, Wuchang District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province; opening hours: Monday to Sunday 7:00-16:00; Tickets: 10 yuan (on-site ticket purchase), 2 yuan for Denghongshan Pagoda. Transportation: The fastest Wuhan Metro Line 2 [Baotong Temple] Station Exit D. Play guide: Baotong Temple is not far from Wuhan University (Lushan Campus), Hubei Provincial Museum, Hubei Art Museum, Donghu Scenic Area and other attractions, so you can plan a reasonable day trip. The Baotong Temple Vegetarian Restaurant on the left side of the gate of Baotong Temple is very famous. It is a good place to like to taste authentic Buddhist vegetarian food. There are still quite a lot of dishes. I like luxury and simplicity. Chicken, duck, fish, seafood, and various fried vegetarian dishes can meet your all needs.
