North Temple Tower

Getting There - Exit 4 Beisita station (line 4) Attractions - North pagoda temple. Lovely temple and a small garden. I went there on a rainy day so didn’t get to enjoy the site for too long but it was very enjoyable. Cost: Free! About 12 - 15 mins walk from there, there’s the Suzhou museum. (You need to reserve in advance otherwise you can’t get in). #summervacation#urbanexplorer #suzhoutravel #suzhou #temple #suzhougardens #beautiful #rainy #china #chinalife #chinatravel

December in Suzhou is a great time to visit ancient temples like Baoguo Temple, Huiding Temple, and Shuangta Temple. Although they are not as crowded with tourists as the Suzhou gardens, they are incredibly picturesque. The quiet monasteries, the ginkgo leaves that are shining yellow and have yet to fall, and the yellow walls of the courtyards, along with the mottled light and shadow, make every casual photo feel like an oil painting. Wearing traditional Han clothing and draping a bright red cloak over your shoulders, you'll look beautiful no matter how you're photographed. Suzhou tourism isn't just about spring; autumn is also stunningly beautiful.

The Beisi Pagoda is the oldest Buddhist temple in Suzhou, with a history of over a thousand years. It is said to have been built by Sun Quan during the Three Kingdoms period to repay his mother's kindness, hence it is also known as the Repay Kindness Temple Pagoda. It is a symbol of the ancient city of Suzhou and a key national cultural heritage site.

I've discovered a new vantage point Beisi Pagoda (also known as Bao'en Temple), as a landmark of ancient architecture in Suzhou has already been photographed by many people I walked a big circle around Beisi Pagoda and actually found a new spot on the rooftop Not only can you see Beisi Pagoda, but also the 'big pants', it's quite a blast💥💥💥 Even more explosive is that there's an open-air coffee shop on the rooftop The edge of the rooftop is decorated with a big crescent moon When night falls and the moon lamp lights up Beisi Pagoda is just in the middle of it when viewed through the moon lamp The coffee shop is said to even offer outdoor barbecues Imagine drinking coffee, eating barbecue, looking at Beisi Pagoda Feeling the breeze, taking photos, it's fantastic! 🎫Ticket: Free 🚩Location share: Creative park near Suzhou Museum 📷Photography tips: It is recommended to use a telephoto lens because the compression of space can make Beisi Pagoda appear larger

The North Temple Pagoda holds many stories in the hearts of the people of Suzhou. The ginkgo in the temple is also full of mystery. Every year, it's bustling with visitors. Take the time to see the ginkgo, even at the end of the season, it's still full of vitality. The ground is covered with ginkgo leaves, and there are a few lush maple trees, shading the golden temple, perfectly echoing the light and shadow cast by the setting sun. A quiet beauty. Tips: Transportation is convenient. Please note that the park closes at 5:00 PM. The security will come in advance to notify that photography is not allowed. Btw, the winter sunset currently starts at around 4:30 PM. There is a popular persimmon tree at the subway entrance outside the North Temple Pagoda. Under the backdrop of the blue sky, pink walls, and black tiles, it looks very beautiful. It seems that this year's persimmons are a bit thin. A place to experience beauty. A fluffy cat that doesn't understand humans.

The Suzhou North Tower in the ginkgo The Bao'en Temple of Suzhou North Tower was built during the Three Kingdoms period, according to historical records, it was built by Sun Quan for his wet nurse Mrs. Chen. It was renamed Kaiyuan Temple at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, and later renamed Bao'en Temple. The Bao'en Temple in autumn and the ginkgo leaves form a beautiful scenery.

Suzhou North Temple Tower (also known as Baoen Temple Tower), located at No. 1918 Renmin Road, north of Suzhou ancient city, is the oldest Buddhist temple in Suzhou, with a history of more than 1700 years. It was built during the Wu Chiwu period of the Three Kingdoms (238-251 AD), and it is said that it was built by Sun Quan to repay his mother, Lady Wu's kindness, and to give up his house. It was originally called Tongxuan Temple. Sun Quan's mother, Lady Wu, was from Suzhou. She was the gospel of the Sun family. After her husband Sun Jian died in battle, she inspired her eldest son Sun Ce to continue to expand the territory of Dongwu.

The temple was renamed Kaiyuan Temple during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty (713-741 AD). It was rebuilt during the Xiande period of the Later Zhou Dynasty of the Five Dynasties (954-959 AD), and its name was changed to Baoen Temple. 👍Most recommended: One of the oldest temples in Suzhou, the simple temperament of the temple and the rich cultural heritage make people linger. 🚉Travel strategy: Take the subway line 4 from Suzhou Station to Baisi Tower subway station.
