A temple in Phoenix Mountain Scenic Spot of Zhangjiagang is very fragrant, but the temples are newly built. There are no relics of ancient buildings. You can come and pay a visit to it as you pass by. You can see it at will. The surrounding environment is good.

    There is a region in the whole area of Jiagang tourism called Fenghuang Town. In the town, you can soak in hot springs, visit ancient streets, climb Phoenix Mountain, and there is also a stunning Buddhist temple in Heyang Mountain Song Culture and Yongqing Temple. I didn't expect Yongqing Temple to be the most impressive place in my trip to Phoenix Town. Really, after entering, I was cautious and cautious, and there was only "wow" behind! ⛰ [A serious introduction to attractions] Yongqing Temple was first built in the period of Dongwu Chiwu, and the southern dynasty Liang Datong was expanded in the second year of Yushi Silu Xiaobenshe, more than 1700 years ago. Historically, Yongqing Temple is one of the 480 temples in the southern dynasty, and has been famous with Hangzhou Lingyin Temple, Zhenjiang Jinshan Temple and Suzhou Hanshan Temple. 💗 Recommended reasons: There are 16 Luohan statues in the Luohan Hall in the Temple, "three must" millennium ancient temples, flesh bodhisattvas and natural stone wells. After entering one and another Buddha temple, you will find that the Buddha statue is getting more and more exquisite and shocking. In memory, there is a Buddha statue behind a wall built by hundreds of Luohans on the whole side, and three Buddha statues of Sakyamuni Buddha in the Grand Palace. There are also towering three-sided viewing and audio-visual images on the side. Jiufeng Wall and countless Maitreya Buddha gold statues. The wind was so strong on the day I went, I didn't hear the "Xiaosi Bell" called "Heyang Ten Views", but I heard the copper bell under the flying scorpion of Wenchang Pavilion. Even if I went far, I kept echoing in my ears. The tinkling bells and tinkling bells were quite nice. 💰 Tickets: 20 yuan (there is no ticket on the Internet, only on-site purchase) After purchasing the tickets, 3 incenses will be given free of charge, which can be used in front of the Temple of Heavenly Kings. 🕙 Open Hour: 07:00-16:30📍 Detailed Address: Phoenix Mountain Nanxun, Phoenix Town, Zhangjiagang City, Suzhou 🚗 Traffic Strategy: Phoenix Mountain Scenic Area has a free bus from Xinzhuang Ancient Street-Heyang Mountain Song Hall-Yongqing Temple. You can take a free bus or take bus 226, 213, 231 Get off at Yongqing Temple or Yongqing Temple West Station. 📌 Little Tips: Yongqing Temple is best not to take Buddha statues in the temple. There will be monks in the temple regularly to attend classes and don't disturb them. The color in the temple is colorful and the photos taken will be very distinctive.

    "Yongqing Temple Travel Notes" Ancient Yun - "Southern Dynasty 480 Temple, how many buildings in the smoke and rain. " Yongqing Temple is one of them. Yongqing Temple is located at the south foot of Fenghuang Shanxi in Zhangjiagang City. It was built in the years of Chiwu in East Wu. So far, it has a history of more than 1500 years. Hangzhou Lingyin Temple and Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang were equally famous. In front of the temple, a vermilion gate filled with a sense of age came into view, exuding a strong sense of simplicity, and the tall yellow wall added some stability and mystery to the temple. Stepping into Yongqing Temple, a breeze wrapped in aromatic vegetation gently passed, relaxed and happy. In the courtyard, the pattern of layout is scattered in different directions. No matter from which direction you look, it can form a picture. The first is the Heavenly King Hall, the first palace in Buddhist monasteries. The statue of Maitreya is enshrined in the center of the palace, sitting in front of the hall with a kind face. The ancient Ginkgo biloba on the west side of the temple was moved from the old site of Yongqing Temple. It has been more than a thousand years since then. It silently witnesses the vicissitudes of Yongqing Temple's history. Now it is a dead wood, with several gilded Buddha statues sitting on the top, where believers seek money. Then there is the Jade Buddha Hall, which is full of incense, vivid sculpture with its own characteristics, neat and uniform, dignified, giving people a sacred and inviolable sense of vision. When we came to the Buddhist Cultural Garden, we could see the overall pattern at a glance. Several golden Buddha statues in the garden were shining brilliantly under the sunshine, as if they were exuding the unique cultural charm of Buddhism. The commanding point in the garden is a statue of Guanyin carved from white jade of Han Dynasty, standing on the hillside. On the back wall are frescoes of Buddhist statues, vivid, neat handwriting, and a taste of Buddhist culture. Daxiong Palace is the core building of the whole monastery. It has great momentum and is also the place where monks concentrate on practicing in the twilight. The Buddha statues of Sakyamuni Buddha, our master, are worshipped in the hall of Daxiong. They are extremely luxurious. The statues around them are as solemn as the stars holding the moon. If Yongqing Temple is compared to a drawing, then I think the final Wenchang Pavilion is the finishing touch. Wenchang Pavilion is a nine-cornered three-storey pagoda-shaped building with three-storey eaves, unequal sides and nine corners, with many arches in each storey, curved fights and low warping angles. Its architectural style has local characteristics. The emperor Wenchang in the palace is the God of honor and position of scholars respected by Chinese people and Taoism. According to legend, Shi Naian once lived in seclusion in Wenchang Cabinet of Yongqing Temple and wrote "Water Margin" with relics. During the reign of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, Master Jianzhen, an eminent monk, made his last eastward journey to Japan to attend the temple. The Buddha said a sentence that I quite agree with - "life is made by oneself, life is created by one's heart, everything in the world is transformed; heart is fixed, everything is fixed, heart is unchanged, everything is unchanged.

    Yongqing Temple is located in Fenghuangshan, Zhangjiagang City. It was built in the years of Chiwu in East Wu. It has a history of more than 1500 years, and is one of 480 temples in Southern Dynasty. In the second year of Liang Datong (537 AD), it was expanded by Lu Xiaoben's house, which became famous. The temple is built with the Temple of Heavenly King, Maitreya, Daxiong Palace, Guanyin Palace, Three Saints Palace, Dongyue Temple, Guansheng Palace, Wenchang Pavilion, Tibetan Sutra Tower, Luohan Hall and Jinxiantanyuan, which are holy places for Buddhist pilgrimages to attend school. There are 16 statues of Arhat in the temple hall, which is the relative sculpture of Yang Huizhi, a famous statue of Tang Dynasty (half of the second Hall in the south of the Yangtze River). There are dozens of scenic spots inside and outside the temple, as well as the thousand-year-old birches, Bodhisattvas and natural stone wells known as "Sanju". In the twelfth year of Tang Tianbao (754 A.D.), the monk Jianzhen made his last eastward journey to Japan. At the invitation of Changda, the abbot of Yongqing Temple, he went to the temple to attend rituals before boarding a boat to Japan from Huangsipu.
