[2025 Luzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Golden Dragon Temple (Updated Apr)

Jinlong 🐉 Temple, a historic temple originally built in the Tang Dynasty, is famous for the legend of the "golden dragon coiling around the beams." Built cascading along the mountainside, its red walls, black tiles, and verdant ancient trees create a picturesque scene. Ascending the steps, you'll see three layers of eaves seemingly rising into the air. At the confluence of two rivers, countless sails pass by, evoking a vision of the former Buddhist paradise of "dragons hidden in the sea of clouds." 😍No tickets are required to visit. Follow the stone steps upwards, enjoying the tranquility of the mountain mist and the occasional encounter with peacocks. Rest at the pavilion halfway up the mountain, where the curling smoke from the dragon's head incense burner embodies the Zen concept of "all dharmas are empty." We especially recommend visiting the "Heart Washing Spring" in the bamboo forest behind the temple. Scoop up a handful of spring water to wash your face and experience the refreshing enlightenment of "originally, there is nothing." Transportation is very convenient, with direct bus routes from Luzhou city. Popular with worshippers, it is a serene place for spiritual cultivation. Before the ancient Buddha and the flickering lamps, one can see their true nature. Sunlight outlines the golden dragon with a golden edge. Looking back at the path you've traveled, the hustle and bustle of the mundane world has already transformed into a wisp of cloud in the mountains.

Compared to crowded scenic spots, I prefer this place in Luzhou. This city famous for its wine actually has such a place hidden inside. Discovering this giant golden dragon 🐲 deep in the forest is both mysterious and shocking!

Free admission [Love] Parking P: There are a few parking spaces in the temple, free to visit 1⃣: This temple is also relatively niche, not many people know about it, and it also has its own characteristics. When I got closer, I found that I needed to climb a long slope of stairs. I could see a giant golden dragon head. It was really shocking and sparkling in the sunlight. There are two huge sculptures of flying dragons underneath, which are vivid and lifelike. 2⃣: Standing on the top of the temple, the giant dragon 🐉 is combined with the urban area. Standing under the dragon head and looking into the distance, directly opposite the temple is a prosperous city with clusters of buildings. In addition to the giant golden dragon, there are many potted flowers and trees in the temple that are worth admiring. 3⃣: About the camera position for taking photos 📸 After entering the temple, the camera position for taking photos of the dragon head is located in the house on the left side of the staircase.

As soon as you step into the temple, you can feel the tranquility and harmony. The temple surrounded by red walls is simple and solemn, adding a sense of history. Walking along the red wall, I found a perfect shooting spot - the third-floor terrace. Standing on the terrace, you can overlook the scenery of the whole temple, with a wide view and pleasant scenery. Unfortunately, Jinlong is under renovation this time, and I didn't take the most beautiful scenery 😭 On the third-floor terrace, you can also see several beautiful peacocks walking leisurely. These peacocks have colorful feathers and elegant postures, becoming the darlings of the camera. The whole trip to Jinlong Temple made me feel the charm of traditional Chinese culture. Whether it is the architectural style of the temple or the Zen atmosphere in the temple, I am fascinated. Here, I found inner peace and tranquility, and also took many beautiful moments. Jinlong Temple, this niche discovery place, not only let me appreciate the natural beauty, but also let me experience the Zen life. I believe that in the future, I will come here again to feel the unique tranquility and beauty. If you are also tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, you might as well come to Jinlong Temple for a walk, and I believe you will also find your own peace and tranquility. Self-driving parking is very convenient!

Who would have thought that a temple could be so imposing? The halls are built into the mountain, the pilgrimage steps are steep, and the huge dragon head on the steep steps creates an extreme sense of awe. Fortunately, I brought a drone, and from the air, I could overlook the entire temple and the stone steps with the giant dragon, which had a strong presence and religious ritual atmosphere. Another shooting angle is from the platform on the left side of the Guanyin Hall, where you can see the full view of the golden dragon from the side.

One of my wishes for the Year of the Dragon was to visit Jinlong Temple and walk across Longnao Bridge. I traveled from the coast of the East China Sea to Luzhou, Sichuan, a city known for its wine. It was a period of high temperatures, but I was still in high spirits. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the whole temple. The view from the rooftop of the Five Observations Hall was just okay. Because of the high temperatures, there were few visitors, which made it feel peaceful.

As a child, I often went to fetch water at Jinlong Temple, which has now transformed into a 'popular' scenic spot right at our doorstep! Last night, I went for a night stroll with my family, and the hydrangeas that covered the mountains made me feel as if I was in a fairyland, and I couldn't help but exclaim: Is this really the same mountain I used to visit as a child? Speaking of which, before going up the mountain last night, my sister's comment 'Is there any suosuo...' left me baffled. What? What's suosuo? It turns out my mother and sister couldn't stop laughing and told me that 'suosuo' means snake! It turns out our hometown has such a down-to-earth term, even my 11-year-old niece knows better than me! The road up the mountain has its own charm. Go up from the right, come down from the left, circling around the mountain without retracing your steps. Going up on the right, the dragon's head is in sight; passing by the 'Zizai Coffee House', a cup of aromatic coffee while overlooking the beautiful scenery at the foot of the mountain is enough for a lifetime! And speaking of the hydrangeas, they are breathtakingly beautiful! It is said that this sea of flowers was originally the masterpiece of a pilgrim, and now it has become a spectacular sight. As a child fetching water, who would have thought that this mountain would undergo such a dramatic change? Speaking of the history of Jinlong Temple, it is truly moving. As a child fetching water, I often heard the adults talk about the story of the abbot surnamed Li and how he was killed by bandits. And in the year of my college entrance exam, I also came here to pray for success, and after getting into university, I returned to give thanks. Looking back now, it feels like a lifetime ago.
