Zhenguo Temple Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions

Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

A temple located on the heart island of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is Gaoyou Zhenguo Temple. After many vicissitudes of life, the original temple no longer exists, leaving only a white pagoda, which is indeed a very important ancient treasure and can be called a leader. The quaint and dignified Zhenguo Temple Pagoda stands on the isolated island, and the sunset reflection is even more beautiful. When you come to Gaoyou, in addition to seeing the long-standing Yucheng Station, you should also remember to pay homage to the Buddha and see the style of Zhenguo Temple.

Gaoyou, from Wang Zengqi's hometown to the hometown in everyone's heart

Walking in the ancient lanes of Gaoyou, it seems to be wandering in the scavenging of time. This city hides many intoxicating corners. Among them, the Wang Zengqi Memorial Hall is like a vivid chapter of history, and the exquisite design attracts newcomers to leave beautiful moments here. Nanmen Street is an antique scroll, flowing with the smell of the market, as if you can hear the voice of the years. Visiting Zhen Guo Temple is like walking in an oasis on the canal, which is known as the "Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the South" and inherits the long history of the Tang Dynasty. Meng Chengyi, as the "living fossil" of the Ming Dynasty, quietly tells the story of the years along Nanmen Street. Zhuhu Xiaozhen, a little far from the city, is a green park full of parent-child fun, especially in this season of reed dancing, it is intoxicating. Between the lake and the grassland, Gaoyou Lake is suitable for all seasons, adding a tranquility and beauty to the city. In every corner of this small city, it seems that you can smell the fragrance of history, and every step is a time journey of dialogue with the past🗺 "About Scenic Spots" 1. Wang Zengqi Memorial Hall The memorial hall is not big, the design is very exquisite, and it also attracts many newcomers to take wedding photos. There is a reading area, a display area, you can understand Wang Zengqi's life and interesting writing. When you go out, you can go to Dongda Street-Youxing Road to stroll around. It has retained the appearance of decades ago, as if returning to the old time, it is very suitable for street shooting. 2. Nanmen Street An antique street full of market atmosphere. 3.

Now it is the season of reed flowers, and it is beautiful to walk through it. 6. Gaoyou Lake The lake is wide, and now it is the season for hairy crabs to go on the market. You can watch the sunset and sailing on the west bank, take pictures very out of the picture, and there are large grasslands, and local people will come to camp and play. 7. China Philatelic Museum The content is very detailed and clear, and I have seen a lot of philatelic tools, and many privately donated stamps not only have a sense of history, but also have a sense of beauty "About the route" After visiting the Wang Zengqi Memorial Hall, you can go to the Last Battle Memorial Hall and Zhou Shu (these two are very close), then go to Nanmen Street (walk along the street to Yuchengyi) and then go back to Beimen Street to eat a bowl of wonton, go to Zhen Guo Temple, and then go to Gaoyou Lake to watch the sunset "About food" The old city area Renmin Bridge wonton, Chunlai teahouse morning tea, Zhongshan Road Jiaojia Lane noodle shop, and Wangyue Restaurant near the memorial hall are all worth a try, and the consumption is not high.
