Zhuhai Putuo Temple: Urban Zen, Seeking a Pure Land for the Soul

#Zhuhai Attractions In the bustling city of Xiangzhou District, Zhuhai, there is a hidden piece of pure land - Putuo Temple. This temple, famous for being the place where Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared, combines traditional Buddhist architecture with Lingnan style. It is like a pearl hidden in the world, quietly exuding solemnity and tranquility. 📍 Zen time in ancient buildings When you enter Putuo Temple, the first thing that catches your eye is the archway with flying eaves and brackets and the vermilion gate. The carved beams and painted buildings fully display the essence of Ming and Qing architecture. The Buddha statues enshrined in the Main Hall are magnificent and golden, and the sound of Sanskrit is lingering, which makes people feel awe. Walking along the stone road, melodious bell sounds came from the bell tower, interweaving with the sounds of birds and flowing water, as if time and space had flowed back to the quiet realm of the ancient temple. 🌿 A symphony of nature and humanity The temple is backed by Phoenix Mountain and surrounded by green trees. Turtles and koi swim leisurely in the release pond, and pavilions and towers are reflected in the water, forming an ink painting with a perfect combination of movement and stillness. The Sutra Library in the temple houses Buddhist scriptures, and occasionally encountering monks chanting scriptures in low voices adds to the mystery and solemnity. 🍜 Zen taste on the tip of your tongue The vegetarian food in the vegetarian restaurant is not to be missed. It uses simple ingredients to cook a pure taste, is affordable and has a wide variety. During lunch time (11:30-12:30), hot vegetarian meals will take you directly to the heart and allow you to experience a life beyond the mundane world. 💡 Experience Tips • Temple entrance ceremony: You will receive 3 natural sandalwood sticks for free at the entrance.
