Jiming Temple, also called Ancient Jiming Temple, is adjacent to Xuanwu Lake in the north. It was built in the Western Jin Dynasty and is one of the older Buddhist temples in Nanjing. During the Qingming Festival, you can admire the sea of cherry blossoms on the road in front of the temple. In summer, you can climb up to the Medicine Buddha Pagoda to overlook the lotus flowers on Xuanwu Lake.
History of Ancient Temple
The history of Jiming Temple can be traced back to Qixuan Temple in the Eastern Wu Dynasty. The temple is located in the rear garden of the Wu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period. In 300 AD (the first year of Yongkang in the Western Jin Dynasty), a room was built here against the mountain and a Taoist temple was founded. After the Eastern Jin Dynasty, this place was turned into a court office. In 527 (the eighth year of the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty), Emperor Wu of Liang built Jimingdai, making this place truly a Buddhist resort. In 1387 (the 20th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty), Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, ordered the old houses to be demolished, the scale expanded, and the temple rebuilt. Zhu Yuanzhang inscribed it as "Jiming Temple". Later, it was expanded during the Xuande, Chenghua and Hongzhi years of the Ming Dynasty, making the courtyard large in scale. Later, the ancient temple was destroyed in the Xianfeng War. Although it was rebuilt during the Tongzhi period, the scale has been greatly reduced, but the incense has always been strong.
Mountain Gate
The gate of Jiming Temple is located on the stone steps on the left side of Jiming Temple Road. In the middle of the gate are the four golden characters "Ancient Jiming Temple". Stepping into the mountain gate, the temple environment is very elegant, with exquisite Buddhist halls and incense. On the left is the alms hall. In front of the platform is the Maitreya Hall, above which are the Mahavira Hall and the Guanyin Tower. In addition, there are other major buildings in the temple such as Weituo Hall, Zhi Cemetery, Sutra Collection Building, Buddha Chanting Hall, and Medicine Master Pagoda.
Main Hall
The Main Hall, also known as the Pilu Hall, is the main hall of Jiming Temple. In the middle of the hall, the Pilu Buddha (Dharmakaya Buddha) is enshrined, with the two Bodhisattvas Manjusri and Samantabhadra on both sides, and the twenty-four heavens on the east and west sides. .
Medicine Buddha Pagoda
The Medicine Buddha Pagoda has seven floors and eight sides, and a bronze statue of Medicine Buddha is enshrined in the tower. This tower was also the place where Leifeng Pagoda was filmed in the TV series "The Legend of White Snake" (at that time, Leifeng Pagoda in West Lake had collapsed and the new one had not yet been repaired).
Pray to Buddha and ask for fortune
You can ask for autographs in the temple, and you can also write wishing cards and hang them up. Whenever the 19th day of the second lunar month, the ninth day of the sixth lunar month, or the nineteenth day of the ninth lunar month (i.e. the anniversary of Guanyin Bodhisattva's birth, enlightenment, and monkhood), many tourists come here to worship Buddha and offer incense. Worshiping Buddha is not in the main hall, but on the large platform in front of the incense stand. There is a huge red candle in front of the incense stand. There is a row of lotus oil lamps on the outer stand for pilgrims to burn incense. There are pillars of burning incense on the inner stand.
Rouge Well
There is also a rouge well in the northeast of the temple. It is said that when the Sui Dynasty destroyed the Chen Dynasty, Chen Shubao, the empress of the Chen Dynasty, and his concubines Zhang Lihua and Kong Guifei hid in the well. Because of this past event, many tourists come here.

It looks great, and on sunny days, Xuanwu Lake is as blue as the sea. 3️⃣ Climb up on the left side of the small museum on the city wall to take photos with Jiming Temple and Zijin Tower in the same frame; climb up on the right side of the museum to unlock different angle shots with Jiming Temple. 4️⃣ Walk towards Taiping Gate to capture the ancient and modern frame of Zijin Tower and Yaoshi Pagoda. . ❤️ Tips for visiting: 1️⃣ You can fly drones on the city wall, but there are many trees.

Walking along Cherry Blossom Avenue feels like stepping into a spring-exclusive pink fairy tale. This guide will take you through an immersive cherry blossom viewing experience~ 📅 Best Time for Cherry Blossom Viewing Mid-March to early April is the full bloom period, with late March being the peak. However, flowering times depend on weather conditions, so check Nanjing weather updates before your trip to catch the blossoms at their most magnificent. 🚗 Transportation Guide 🚇 Subway is highly recommended!

During cherry blossom season, Jiming Temple Road is closed to traffic on weekends.

People with disabilities, military officers, seniors over 60, children under 1.3m, etc., can enter free with valid ID. 🌸 Suggested Routes 1. Cherry Blossom Avenue: Right outside Jiming Temple Station, this 300-meter pink corridor has cherry trees lining both sides like clouds and rosy glow. Come early—morning light is soft and perfect for portraits. After 4pm is also good with fewer people and warm-toned lighting for photos. Avoid the 10:00am-3:00pm peak hours when photos will be full of strangers. 2. Ancient Jiming Temple: After exploring Cherry Blossom Avenue, visit the ancient temple.

A wonderful experience! Praying at Jiming Temple 🙏, praying for the health, safety, happiness, and smooth sailing of my whole family, and for my son to have confidence, insightful eyes, strength, courage for the future, a smooth path ahead, and many helpful people in his life.
Jiming Temple, located on the eastern slope of Jilong Mountain in Xuanwu District, Nanjing, is also known as Ancient Jiming Temple. Founded in the Western Jin Dynasty, it is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Nanjing, historically renowned as the "First Temple of the Southern Dynasties" and the foremost of the "Four Hundred and Eighty Temples of the Southern Dynasties," serving as a Buddhist center in China during that period. While the existing historical sites are few, the newly constructed buildings are quite impressive, with a harmonious and well-arranged layout and exquisitely carved Buddha statues. Although the existing historical sites are few, the newly constructed buildings are quite impressive, with a harmonious and well-arranged layout and exquisitely carved Buddha statues.
Jiming Temple is a gentle imprint of time on Nanjing, possessing the solemnity of an ancient temple and the vitality of modern life. Red walls reflect Zen, eaves bear the marks of time; every brick and tile exudes the warmth and solemnity of years gone by.
[Scenery] When the weather is clear, the blue sky, white clouds and the pagoda are very photogenic. The nearby cherry blossom avenue is particularly beautiful. [Fun] There are 4 styles of cultural and creative ice cream. This white one is the most expensive, 🤣, I don’t remember how much it costs, about 25. There is a stamping activity in Jiming Temple, there are separate impressions, and there are also stamps that can be obtained by checking in four places. Remember to bring a small notebook 📒 [Value for money] Satisfied
Nanjing｜Go to a city for a temple, this thousand-year-old Jiming Temple||Visit the cultural treasure of this thousand-year-old capital, feel the charm of traditional Chinese culture, and worship and make a wish! Some people say that Jiming Temple is a holy place to cut off bad karma and support good karma. However, this is just a legend, believe it or not! But I firmly believe that with compassion, the Buddha will bless every kind believer! Pray with a pious attitude, and your heart will be full of comfort and confidence, allowing us to better face the ups and downs of life! 🎫｜Tickets to the temple, 10r, get three incense sticks after buying the ticket 🕐｜Opening hours: 7:00-17:30, stop admission at 17:15 🙏Prayer route Main Hall🛕Manjusri Bodhisattva: pray for wisdom, academic progress God of Wealth Hall•-💰Puxian Bodhisattva: pray for wealth Medicine Buddha Pagoda-🙏Medicine Buddha: pray for health and peace Guanyin Hall❤️-Guanyin Bodhisattva: pray for peace and good fortune 🎁｜Lucky bags, sachets: 20-80 yuan, small tomatoes 30 yuan, said to bring sweet love Red rope: 100-190 yuan, said to tie good luck, really beautiful~ 🍝｜Vegetarian noodles + latte 49 yuan I never thought that vegetarian noodles could be so sweet, the nutrients released by fungi are enough to make this noodle full of soul! Then the noodles in his shop are my favorite Su-style noodles, chewy and extremely smooth~ Foodies finish this bowl of noodles, let us go smoothly from now on and follow the God of Wealth🥰 "Is this the legendary Buddhist food, which can make people pure and free from desires?" ⚠️Precautions‼ ️ * One-way street: enter from the south gate, exit from the north gate, follow the signs * Clothing: neat and clean, do not wear slippers, shorts and vests, do not wear hats and sunglasses * Etiquette: Female pilgrims step with their right foot first, male pilgrims step with their left foot first, and do not step on the threshold * Pray to Buddha: Go around the temple three times clockwise, silently recite your wishes, and then kneel down * Beads: Wear the beads you requested on your left hand to represent holiness * Address: When you see a monk, call him Master, and others are generally called Senior Brothers. When you salute, put your hands together and bow your head slightly
【Scenery】 With a long history and a strong incense, it is a cultural attraction that cannot be missed in Nanjing. The cherry blossoms are in full bloom in spring, and the snow scenery is picturesque in winter. The temple is built on the mountain, and the architecture is simple and solemn. Climbing high and looking far away, you can see the beautiful scenery of Zijin Mountain and Xuanwu Lake. Praying and worshiping will bring peace to your heart. It is a pure land in the city. Highly recommended to friends who like history, culture and natural scenery!
Jiming Temple: A blend of ancient charm and romance I checked in at Jiming Temple on the weekend. This visit was an excellent experience and left a very deep impression on me. As soon as I stepped into Jiming Temple, I was attracted by the ancient charm of the ancient temple. The yellow walls, black tiles, flying eaves and brackets carry a thousand years of historical heritage, making people instantly immersed in a strong Buddhist atmosphere. Here, praying devoutly, the soul seems to have been baptized. And the most intoxicating thing is the cherry blossoms that are like clouds and clouds. Walking along the Cherry Blossom Avenue, there are flowers blooming above your head and fallen flowers under your feet. When the wind blows, the petals fall down, as if you are in a dreamland. The ancient temple and cherry blossoms complement each other, and the yellow walls, black tiles, and pink cherry blossoms form a beautiful spring painting. Every shot is a blockbuster. The surrounding food should not be underestimated. The authentic Nanjing snacks greatly satisfy the taste buds. The tour route is well designed. Whether you climb the city wall to overlook the panoramic view or stroll around Xuanwu Lake to enjoy the beautiful scenery, it is very interesting. Although there are many tourists, the scenic area is well-organized and the staff are enthusiastic. The only drawback is that the traffic is slightly congested during the peak period of cherry blossom viewing. It is recommended to take public transportation. In short, Jiming Temple is a great place that combines natural scenery, historical culture and food experience. I strongly recommend everyone to check in!
Du Mu's "Jiangnan Spring Jue" "Southern Dynasty 480 temples, how many buildings in the rainy rain." Pull people back from the bustling in front of them: Buddhism prevailed in the south, the scene of the temples. The first of the 480 temples, Jiming Temple, was built in Xijin, more than 1700 years ago, after many destruction and reconstruction, the current Jiming Temple building in the quiet place looks more simple and elegant.
