[2025 Chongqing Attraction] Travel Guide for Luohan Si (Updated May)

Visiting Chongqing, the Fog City, really tests your luck😑 The mountain city is so foggy🌫️ I spent a few days in Chongqing. Skip the crowded Jiefangbei and Hongyadong. Here's a less-crowded itinerary for taking photos📷 Day 1: Luohan Temple ➡️ Guanyinqiao ➡️ Liziba ➡️ Little Yellow Building ➡️ Rainbow Chongqing Day 2: Laojun Cave ➡️ Longmenhao ➡️ Xiahaoli ➡️ Danzishi ➡️ Two Rivers Intersection ➡️ Eye of Chongqing ➡️ Clock Tower Square - About the photo spots📷 1️⃣ Luohan Temple: Many photo angles inside. You can spend half a day here, as the view from each window is different. 2️⃣ Guanyinqiao: The popular "I'm in Chongqing" electronic screen. 3️⃣ Liziba: Several spots around Liziba offer good angles for photos with the light rail. They are all near the subway exits. 1. The stairs to the left of Subway Exit 2. 2. Turn right at the subway entrance. 3. [Context requires further clarification for the third location] 4️⃣ Little Yellow Building: The bright yellow building at the intersection. 5️⃣ Rainbow Chongqing: A wall next to Jasmine Milk White in Longhu Times Tianjie D. 6️⃣ Laojun Cave: A truly awe-inspiring place. Besides the spot at the main entrance, other photo ops require walking uphill. Nantianmen offers a great view on a clear day. Drones are not allowed on the mountain, so you can't capture the Bagua and the bridge together. 7️⃣ Longmenhao: A commercial street nestled on a hillside. The doorway is located in the Minsu homestay at the foot of the mountain. 8️⃣ Xiahaoli: Right next to Longmenhao, there's a popular spot by the flowing water (I personally don't find it appealing, not sure why it's so popular, so many people hanging around a smelly ditch). 9️⃣ Two Rivers Intersection: Go down the stairs next to the Eye of Chongqing to the riverside for a photo with Raffles City in the background. 🔟 Clock Tower Square: The pavilion to the right of the park offers a good spot for photos of the pavilion and Raffles City (recommend shooting in blue hour if it's not foggy). The circular spot ⭕️ is to the left as you exit the park.

#chinatrip I’m so glad I made it to Luohan Temple during my solo trip to Chongqing! Nestled right in the bustling shopping district of Jiefangbei, the temple is incredibly easy to access by Metro, making it a convenient stop even for those with a packed itinerary. What struck me most was the transformation I felt upon entering the temple grounds. Surrounded by modern high-rises, Luohan Temple feels like a portal to another time, seamlessly blending into its urban surroundings while offering a stark contrast between Chongqing’s fast-paced cosmopolitan vibe and its rich historical roots. Despite being located in such a busy area, the temple exudes a calm and peaceful energy, making it a perfect retreat for meditation or quiet reflection. Dating back to the late Tang Dynasty (618–907), Luohan Temple stands as a testament to Chongqing’s enduring cultural legacy. While it has undergone several renovations over the centuries, it remains a historically significant site and a vital center of Buddhist culture in the city. The highlight of the temple is undoubtedly the 500 life-sized Arhat (Luohan) statues, each uniquely crafted with its own expression and pose. Walking through the hall was mesmerizing—a true celebration of artistic and spiritual craftsmanship. The temple’s traditional Chinese Buddhist architecture is breathtaking, with grand halls, intricate wood carvings, and serene courtyards that encourage you to slow down and appreciate every detail. Taking your time here is essential to fully absorb the beauty and serenity it offers. If you’re planning a trip to Chongqing, I highly recommend adding Luohan Temple to your itinerary. Whether you’re praying, burning incense, making offerings, or simply soaking in the atmosphere, this temple offers an incredible blend of history, spirituality, and cultural insight. It’s an experience you don’t want to miss! . #china #myitinerary #travel #thingstodo #myitinerary #chongqing

Luohan Temple is located in Yuzhong District. It was built during the Northern Song Dynasty (1064–1067) and was originally called Zhiping Temple. It was named after the Luohan Cave. The "Shuzhong Famous Scenic Spots" records: "Zhiping Temple... has two ancient caves, Luohan and Xiantian." In 1752, the front hall collapsed and was rebuilt as the Dragon God Temple. It was later known as Luohan Temple and Gufoyan. Luohan Temple is like an elder who has experienced a thousand years of wind and rain, standing alone in the world. It silently watches the changes of the city with a peaceful and quiet gaze. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Luohan Temple was bombed by Japanese planes, and the temple was reduced to ashes, leaving only the Great Mountain Gate and the ancient Buddha rock carvings. However, more than 20 brave monks were not afraid of the Japanese artillery fire and resolutely began the road to reconstruction in the ruins. By 1947, under the leadership of Master Zongxian, the main hall, the Sutra Collection Building, the Luohan Hall, and the mountain gate archway were restored to their former glory. On May 1, 1986, Luohan Temple ushered in another grand event in its thousand-year history. After two years of careful reconstruction, the Luohan Hall once again shone brightly. The temple's dojo is inherited from the Eighth Patriarch Zen Dojo Mazu Daoyi, also known as Mazu Dojo. Mazu fully integrated the unique charm of Zen Buddhism into daily life, advocating "following the heart as practice" and "sudden enlightenment," believing that the mind is the Buddha, neither mind nor Buddha, and that an ordinary mind is the way. This concept broke through the self-indulgence and fatigue of practitioners and redirected Zen to reality. The goal of Zen practice is not asceticism, but the extremely optimistic "happy way" of life, allowing Zen to perfectly integrate with wisdom and life. The black gate of the temple is like a watershed between two worlds. Outside the gate, there are tall buildings, busy traffic, and bustling crowds; inside the gate, there are morning bells and evening drums, tranquility, and peace. Luohan Temple is a kind of persistent perseverance in Chongqing, like a hard reef in the heart, standing firm like Mount Tai amidst the waves and flowers. It is not to stop people from moving forward, but to reveal the profound meaning of temporarily stopping and resting in life to passersby.
