The ancient temple of a thousand years can be directly reached by the Shuangliu subway in Chengdu

Weekend sunshine is just right! Such weather is most suitable for a walk in the ancient temple of a thousand years! Less than an hour's drive from the city center You can come to a thousand-year-old temple that even emperors have visited! Back then, Emperor Xizong of Tang stayed here briefly to avoid the chaos caused by Huang Chao And he bestowed the name Yingtian Temple! Yingtian Temple has a long history It was once known for its poetry, calligraphy, and painting Unfortunately, the calligraphy and paintings are mostly lost Only fragments of history remain But fortunately, the poetry still exists to this day Like the seven-character ancient style by Ouyang Jiong, a Hanlin scholar during the Five Dynasties period You can also eat vegetarian meals here at noon The vegetarian meal is 10 yuan per person, starting at 11 o'clock The vegetarian food is quite good, with a variety of dishes and decent taste But if you go late, there might be no dishes left, only noodles If you're tired from walking You can also order a cup of tea in the temple's tea room Sit in the courtyard and enjoy the sun I could simply sit leisurely for an entire afternoon 🙏🏻If you like, please follow, thank you! Photo taken time: Early to mid-October 📍Location: Sichuan, Chengdu, Shuangliu 🚗Transport: Just navigate directly to Yingtian Temple 💰Admission: Free, parking is free ❗TIPS: ❤️It is said that you cannot bring your own incense in the temple, but you can ask for incense at the main gate 🧡Parking is available at the temple's own parking lot, or you can park on a side road outside the temple, both are free of charge 💛Those who want to eat vegetarian meals must remember to buy tickets and queue up in advance! Follow me for more travel inspiration!
