Anjue Temple

安觉寺

Kangding Anjue Temple is a famous Huangjiao temple. It was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty at the end of the 18th century. It has a history of more than 360 years. Because the splendid Anjue Temple is located in Kangding City, the flow of people is like weaving, and the incense has always been strong. Every day from the early morning, there are devout believers praying and worshiping in front of the censer with fresh pine branches and various worship supplies. The annual Lantern Festival is also held here to commemorate the day when Master Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Yellow Sect of Tibetan Buddhism, passed away and became a Buddha. There will be grand ceremonies and memorial services.

The head of the Shangqiao Bridge in Kangding City is 2500 meters above sea level. There is a Tibetan Buddhist temple, Anjue Temple (formerly called Anque Temple) next to the Jiangjun Bridge. The temple was built in 1652 and belongs to the Gelug sect of Tibetan Buddhism. The roof of the temple is still golden. There are small Buddha statues and butter lamps, Buddha statues and photos and portraits against the wall. This large temple, just listen to the constant sound of loudspeakers and snails from the temple, resounding over the urban area of Kangding...

Just in Kangding City, at the Jiangjunqiao Bus Station, the recommended index is three stars. The temple is not big but it tastes great. The monks were still in the "breakfast" (breakfast) early in the morning. I tiptoed into the temple and worshipped devoutly, for fear of ruining the tranquility and peace. A monk on duty took the initiative to talk to me. Although his strong accent sometimes made me hard to understand, his peaceful voice calmed my mind.

Tibetan Buddhism has a strong atmosphere, especially the annual Lantern Festival, which is very lively and unique!

Blue sky and white clouds, red walls and black tiles, a very sacred place with a lot of people and convenient parking.
