Dreaming Back to the Glory of Tang Dynasty | Guangde Temple in Ninghai
A stunning temple made famous by Yang Yang.
The architectural style of Guangde Temple is traditional Tang Dynasty style. Whether it's the buildings, the furnishings, the gardens, or the landscaping, everything is crafted with great ingenuity, leaving visitors in awe.
The overall style is very cohesive, significantly different from the usual bright yellow style of temples, making it especially photogenic!

Checked in at Ninghai's with Yang Yang
Seeing the photos Yang Yang took here, which are full of Chinese style and texture, I couldn't help but want to check in myself!
The temple is quite large and very niche with hardly any visitors, making it very serene. The monk at the entrance was leisurely reading a book, which felt very comfortable~
The place where Yang Yang took photos is behind the main hall, probably where the monks study, and you need to enter from the side door. Once inside, it's truly stunning! With the main hall as the backdrop and exquisitely arranged garden plants, there's a large pond in front, and the sunlight is warm and cozy, making it especially comfortable!
The temple feels very good overall, very spacious, with many intricate details. It's a temple I would be willing to visit many times...
Admission: Free
Parking: Free (Parking is available at the entrance of the residential area diagonally opposite the temple)

Family, who knows! Zhejiang's Da Ninghai is just too beautiful!
After a recent trip back to my hometown in Sanmen, I found out that taking a taxi from Sanmen to Qiantong in Ninghai is only a few dozen yuan, so I took the opportunity to have a two-day tour of Ninghai.🚗
This trip was really worth it, I discovered so many hidden gems.🎉🎉🎉
The first stop was the coffee shop by the seaside in Qiangjiao Town, called Folk Uncle, right by the sea, with a super beautiful view!😎😎😎
The second stop was Guangde Temple, which is a temple with a bit of Tang Dynasty style, not the bright yellow exterior walls, but white wooden structures, very large, but the main entrance is currently not accessible, remember to go through the east gate!🙏🙏🙏
The third stop was Qiantong Ancient Town, the filming location for the movie 'The Barber', where you can capture the whole panorama without a drone, just by going up the hill opposite.🎥🎥🎥
The fourth stop was the seaside highway in Qiangjiao Town, which is the 'Little Jeju Island' mentioned online, where you can see the seascape along the road.🛣️🛣️🛣️
The fifth stop was the Sheraton Ninghai, where the outdoor seating for afternoon tea has a backdrop of several tall buildings, really stylish!😜😜😜
The sixth stop was the Jiajue Science Wharf, a great place to watch the sunset, with a Sunset Tea Break Cafe by the sea.🌅🌅🌅
The seventh stop was Ninghai Forest Hot Spring - Guo Jin Zen Temple, where you can go for hot springs in winter and for summer retreat, with very lush vegetation.🌳🌳🌳
The eighth stop was the Again Coffee Shop by the seaside in Qiangjiao Town, which is currently being renovated and looks like it will be ready soon.🤩🤩🤩
The ninth stop was the Haiyu English Afternoon Tea by the seaside in Qiangjiao Town.🍰🍰🍰
The tenth stop was the Ninghai Bay Hengshan Island Scenic Area, where you can get to Hengshan Island by boat from the Fisherman's Wharf, and here you can see the beautiful sea blue.🐳🐳🐳
When in Ninghai, of course, you can't forget to eat delicious food!😋😋😋
You must try the grass paste and Magnolia freeze, the mint flavor inside is the memory of my childhood summers.🍹🍹🍹
If you go out to sea from Hengshan Island, don't forget to eat the small seafood!🦀🦀🦀
This trip really made me take a fresh look at Ninghai, its beautiful scenery and delicious food made me linger and forget to return.🤗🤗🤗
If you also want to go on a trip on a whim, consider Ninghai!💗💗💗

It's not that Jeju Island is unaffordable, but Zhejiang Ninghai is more cost-effective
I prefer to check in at lesser-known scenic spots than popular ones
I found such a place in Zhejiang Ningbo
There are mountains and seas here, as well as cultural ancient towns
It's very suitable for the weekend getaway of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai~

✅Recommended attractions

1️⃣Qiangjiao Town
Pictures 1-3 This place is known as Ningbo's Little Jeju Island, I was amazed when I came here, the sea is incredibly blue, of course it also depends on the weather, choose a sunny day, the most photogenic place is at the 'Folk Uncle Coffee•Beer' coffee shop.
2️⃣Qiantong Ancient Town
A small town with Confucian cultural charm, the filming location of the movie Barber! It's also a very niche ancient town in Ningbo.
3️⃣Longgong Ancient Village
Attracted by this name, the stone road makes Longgong Village full of historical atmosphere, it's very worth to check in.
4️⃣Guangde Temple
Some people say it's Tang and Song architectural style! But some people 'criticize' it as Japanese style, to me, the feeling that the temple gives people is tranquility and peace! It has a strong Tang Zen atmosphere.
