Temples

走遍天下XZ🌈 Attraction features: Because the cartoon "Smart One Hugh" is known for the Golden Pavilion, the most eye-catching of course is the Golden Pavilion full of gold foil, the original one has been burned by a monk, and now this one is newly built decades ago, and the new one is of course much more beautiful than the old one. However, in addition to the Golden Pavilion, there are many other places worth seeing: 🎟️ Ticket related: 1. The ticket is very distinctive, and it is a Zhu Yinfu that can bless the whole family's safety and health (if it is a group tour, you must remember to find a tour guide to come back), the fare is very cheap, a dozen yuan. 🕐️ Scenic Area opening hours: 2, 9:00-17:00 (closes early, it is best to go forward at 16:00) 💗 Other tips: 3, there is a handwritten light yellow large-word newspaper at the gate, writing five rings, similar to the Chinese temples can not kill, can not eat meat and other rules, you can use WeChat to scan and translate, If you make a mistake, try not to go in 😂. 4. Come in and look at the Jinge Temple across the lake. This is the best landscape location. The flow of people will take you away. You must seize the opportunity. After passing this village, there is no such store. 5. On the east side of the lake is the abbot's abbot's house, the atmosphere is beautiful, can you go in to see the character. There is a pine tree bonsai at the entrance, one of the "Kyoto Sansong", the name is "Luzhou Song", trimmed into the appearance of a sailing ship, the bow rushes west, symbolizing the meaning of advocating the Western Bliss World. (Recently in the pruning solid type, below the shelf) 6, there is a small waterfall behind the Golden Pavilion Temple, there is a "squid stone" in front of the waterfall, here is called "squid jumping dragon gate", is also a place to pray. 7, "the white snake's head", the small minarets behind is the grave of the white snake, is the incarnation of wealth and wisdom. There were three statues and a coin-throwing bronze in front of them, but there were few coins in the bronze, and the three statues were full of potholes. 8, along the "shunlu" wooden sign, through a small earth slope, overlooking the entire Golden Pavilion Temple, here is also the ancient tea ceremony master's favorite tea place. 9. The Jinge Temple is built near the lake, and the lake is also a must. There are several small islands with five pines in the middle of the lake, which are unique in the traditional Japanese courtyard. 10. The Jinge Temple is small, but it has its unique Buddhist characteristics. The exit has a place for praying for blessings and signings. 11. Finally, when walking down the long ladder, don't forget to taste the special "golden powder matcha ice cream" (other article).
