👍Most recommended:
Songshan Temple is located in the bustling city center of Dalian, standing out with the serene composure of Buddhism amidst the noisy and complex urban atmosphere. Although it is not a large temple, it is an ancient Buddhist temple with a considerable history.
Entering through the main gate, the central courtyard houses the Heavenly King Hall, with the Four Heavenly Kings enshrined within. To the east is a five-story 'pagoda' built in imitation Tang style. The pagoda is tall, and its eaves spread like the wings of a flying bird, fresh and unique, making it the symbolic structure of Songshan Temple.
It is said that Songshan Temple was built in the 23rd year of the Zhenguan era of the Tang Dynasty (AD 649), and it has a history of approximately 1,300 years, making it the oldest temple in Dalian. Ancient temple with green lanterns, red walls, and yellow tiles, inside the walls lies tranquility and peace, while outside is noise and clamor. Why not take a break from the fast-paced life, seek the satisfaction of a Zen state of mind?
Photography is prohibited inside the temple, and visitors should pay attention to their attire.
