Linggu Temple in NanjingLinggu Temple is a Buddhist temple in Nanjing, China. The temple was once described as 'the best Buddhist temple in the world'. Later it was destroyed several times and is now surrounded by a large and beautiful park in the forest. It lies at the southeast foot of Mount Zhongshan. Because I live nearby, I go there at least three times per week, usually for jogging. 📍Where? Linggu Scenic Area, Linggu Temple Road (Take a bus or taxi from the subway station) 🌟 What to do? - Visit the temple - Eat in the vegetarian noodle restaurant - Climb the Linggu tower and enjoy the view - Play with the cats that live in the forest #nanjing#linggu#jiangsu#naturetheraphyA_Wanderer32

The Beamless Hall. This structure is built without a single piece of wood or beam, hence gets its current name. It was once called Hall of boundless life because it was built to worship the Amitabha Buddha ✨ Whose name means boundless life. It is the oldest and largest Beamless palace in China. 🇨🇳 #summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorerFarz6

Beautiful Cherry Blossoms in Nanjing ♥️🇨🇳#cherryblossom2024 🌸 The Linggu Temple, which is eagerly awaited by the entire network, is finally blooming! In Linggu Temple in Nanjing, there are two dense magnolia trees. In the third month of spring, white magnolia flowers bloom throughout the thousand year old temple, creating a peaceful yet timeless atmosphere. This year, due to the low temperature at the end of February, the blooming period of the white magnolia has been delayed by about a week compared to previous years. Now, I just heard that the magnolia in Falinggu Temple has begun to bloom, and it is likely to enter its peak this weekend! Shooting location: Linggu Temple in Nanjing (ticket 35r) Blood Temple opening time: Research: 00-16:30 Transportation: Take the subway from Line 2 to Xiaolingwei Station and transfer to the scenic spot sightseeing bus!! Please pay attention to civilized flower appreciation in the temple and avoid loud noise!!Sadia_N1
As the capital of the early Ming Dynasty, Nanjing has preserved many historical sites. Among them, the most intensive tourist attraction is the Zhongshan Scenic Area, which includes the Ming Dynasty Xiaoling, a world cultural heritage, the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, a national 5A-level scenic spot, as well as Linggu Temple, Meiling Palace, Meihua Mountain and many other special attractions. Linggu Temple is the most famous temple in Nanjing, and the Ming Dynasty was more than 600 years ago. Linggu Temple has a long history. It existed in the Southern Dynasty during Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, it was sealed by Zhu Yuanzhang as the "first Zen forest in the world", juxtaposed with the Dabaoen Temple and Tianjie Temple. Compared with Ming Xiaoling and Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Linggu Temple should be much cleaner. The old trees here are towering and the scenery is beautiful. Linggu Temple Xuanzang Memorial Hall is dedicated to the statue of Xuan Zang Master, like the Xuanzang Master's top bone memorial tower in front of the Xuanzang top bone relic. Linggu Temple is where Fengshui Treasures, this land was spotted by Zhu Yuanzhang, used to build his own mausoleum, that is, Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, so Linggu Temple was forced in the 14th year of Hongwu (1381) Move to the current location and rebuild from a different location. The temple is located in the mountain valley, named Linggu Temple. The beamless temple is the only remaining Ming Dynasty building in Linggu Temple, and it is also a must-see for the Linggu Temple. Because this temple is a masonry arch structure, it does not need beam wood, so it is commonly known as "no beam temple."River2014.

It was cloudy and foggy and smoky. Worth going. Linggu Temple has few filmmakers. Climbing the nine-story Linggu Tower is very interesting. The vegetarian rice at Linggu Temple smells very fragrant, because I didn't have the luck to taste it late for breakfast.
When I went to Linggu Temple, the magnolia flower was at the time, and the white magnolia was with a yellow wall. It was very popular and especially felt! Recommend the plain noodles in the temple, 10 yuan is unlimited, it tastes good! All brick arch structures have no beamless hall without a trace of wooden nails, which is very shocking!
Among the three major attractions in Zhongshan Scenic Area, Linggu Temple is easy to be ignored by foreign tourists compared to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and Mingxiao Mausoleum. Many retirees in Nanjing like to come here for a walk. In fact, there are many monuments and beautiful scenery in the Linggu Temple scenic spot on the east side of Zhongshan Scenic Area. Especially the autumn color is intoxicating, there is a stone monument engraved with "Linggu deep pine".
Linggu Temple is located in Nanjing Zhongshan Scenic Area, built in the southern dynasty, Zhu Yuanxuan built Ming Xiaoling Tomb when the temple moved here, and gave the name "Linggu Temple". During the Qing Dynasty, it was rebuilt, Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River six times, and visited Linggu Temple six times.
Quiet and quiet, beautiful scenery. Compared with Ming Xiaoling and Zhongshan Mausoleum, there are many fewer people. But after a day of walking, my legs have to be broken, and I don't have much physical strength to continue to play. I think it will take at least half a day to play well.
