[2025 Ningbo Attraction] Travel Guide for Zhengyang Temple (Updated Jul)

Morning bells welcome the sunrise, and evening drums send off the sunset. Zhengyang Temple is located in Zhaqiao Street, Beilun, Ningbo, and has a history of 1,200 years. Zhengyang Temple is not well-known, partly because it is overshadowed by the nearby Tiantong Temple and Ayuwang Temple, and partly because of its association with life and death. The temple houses many spirit tablets and a nursing home (the only temple nursing home in Zhejiang Province). Don't ask about life and death, a lone monk is like drifting clouds and flowing water. Laughing and crying for no reason, even if there is joy, the heart is like ice. Free from obstacles, life is only about the present people and scenery. Known as Ningbo's Little Temple of Heaven, it is very different from Beijing's Zhengyang Gate, but has a resemblance to Beijing's Temple of Heaven. It features European medieval castle-style architecture, a round top, a three-tiered circular altar, and towering castle walls. The temple has yellow walls and a golden roof. It is large but very quiet. Joy and happiness come, I want to meet you here, I want your wind to blow to Zhengyang... This kind of internet-famous cultural creation also breaks the tranquility of Zhengyang Temple. There are many homing pigeons in Zhengyang Temple, and they are not afraid of people. You can try feeding them with cookie crumbs. Raising homing pigeons in a Buddhist temple is, of course, the temple's behavior, and is related to Zhengyang Temple's belief in caring for the elderly and being peaceful and friendly. Tips: 1. Navigate to "Zhengyang Temple" from Ningbo city center, and you can arrive in about 1 hour. 2. There are many free parking spaces at the temple entrance. 3. You can visit Zhengyang Temple, Ziwei'ao, and the internet-famous bridge in one day.

This 'Mini Temple of Heaven' is not the one in Beijing, but rather it is located in the Beilun District of Ningbo, and many people may not know about it or have visited! I also stumbled upon it by chance, a 'Temple of Heaven' in Zhejiang? I decided to drive from Hangzhou to find out! This place is a temple, and it might be a bit out of the way, which is why there are few visitors. As soon as you enter the temple, there is a large hall, and on the right, there is a city wall you can climb. From atop, you can look out at the 'Temple of Heaven'. Next to the temple is a nursing home, so try to keep quiet when visiting to avoid disturbing the people here! The 'Mini Temple of Heaven' is located above the temple, and you need to take the small path next to the nursing home to get there. The 'Mini Temple of Heaven' must have weathered many storms, losing its original luster, but it is quite a sight to capture‼️ 🌍Location: Zhengyang Zen Temple, Beilun District, Ningbo 🅿️Parking: Free parking🆓 You can park on the open ground outside the temple 🎫Admission: Free, no tickets required
