Near Nanjing Jiangning University Town, there is a scenic spot familiar to Nanjing people-Fangshan. Fangshan is relatively flat on the top of the mountain, like a huge seal and called Tianyin Mountain. It is said that Fangshan is the first mountain in Nanjing to be artificially transformed. Qin Shihuang chiselled the mountain to pass Huaihuai to vent the king's spirit. Fangshan has a Dinglin Temple, and Dinglin Temple is still quite a head. Nanjing has the saying of Shangxia Dinglin Temple. This is Xiadinglin Temple. It has been more than 800 years of history. Most of the buildings in Dinglin Temple are newly built in recent years. Only Dinglin Temple Tower is from the Song Dynasty.

The Damo ancestors from Tianzhu have held Buddhist activities at Xiadinglin Temple, so Fangshan still has historical monuments such as "Damo Cliff", which is the place where the ancestor of Zen Damo sits. In the Buddhist world, there is the saying of "Nanding Forest and North Shaolin". One of the top ten temples in Nanjing

Once in its heyday, now it is rebuilt and opened. The building is new, the atmosphere is magnificent, the ancient tower is old, there is no commissary in the scenic spot, and it is best to prepare water and food for your own travel to Fangshan. There are not many people.

I went to Jiangning and went to Fangshan. I have been hearing about it, but I have only arrived here for the first time. The god is like a stone statue of an lone wolf standing in the middle. Dinglin Temple is in the range of Fangshan ⛰️. It covers a large area, but it is sparsely populated. There is a temple in Nuoda. Tourists basically have not seen more than ten. The scenery is good, the building is magnificent, the highest Tibetan Jing Pavilion has not been completed, but it can also overlook some of the beautiful scenery. Inside, a female nun with a practice greeted warmly, measured her temperature and looked at the health code. It is not too hot to go all the way along the path under the shade of the tree. After going out, I bought a cold drink at the small store next to the parking lot to feel the cool.
