Hongensi is an ancient Buddhist temple nestled in the mountains, blending Central Plains culture with Buddhist wisdom. It is situated amidst green hills and clear waters, like a pearl set in the embrace of nature. Every time you step into Hongensi, it feels like entering a world of tranquility and peace. The lingering scent of incense and the distant tolling of bells bring a gradual calmness to the mind. Here, there is no noise and impatience of the secular world, only the deep inner peace and serenity.

We choose to enter on a side gate and walk out way up to the temple on the many stairs on the pathway. It was a nice workout. After we visited the main attraction in the park, we wondered around a bit more and than took the most flat path to the entrance. After we exited the park, there is an old style street, just starting from the park entrance. It is similar to Hongyadong. It has many restaurants and at the end there is a hotel. To get to the park you can get public transport or dido/taxi/shared bikes. Don't forget to bring your passport/ID card with you. #explorechongqing #urbanexplorer
