Zhenjiang Jinshan Temple| Fahai, you don't understand love?
| Fahai, you don't understand love? .🏯Coming down from Beigushan, heading to the Yangtze River on the west side of Jinshan. The most impressive thing about Jinshan is of course Jinshan Temple and Fahai, which comes from the mythological story of The Legend of the White Snake. But legends are after all legends, the real Jinshan is not the same as imagined.
✔️The pagoda of Jinshan Temple can be said to be the symbol of Jinshan, which can be seen from a distance. The evening sun has plated the pagoda with a layer of golden light, which is even more brilliant. After entering the gate, the first thing that attracts is a scenery on the left fork, which is Furong Tower and the so-called world's first spring, Zhongling Spring.
✔️At the foot of Jinshan is a large lake, named Jinshan Lake, which is obviously left after the Yangtze River changed its course. Furong Tower is located at a corner of the west side of Jinshan Lake. Standing on the lakeside, you can see the golden pagoda on Jinshan. Arriving at the mountain gate of Jinshan Temple, you can see the plaque 'Jiangtian Zen Temple' hanging above the archway. The archway and the Hall of Heavenly Kings behind it are almost next to each other. The sign of the national key cultural relics protection unit on the side of the door of the Hall of Heavenly Kings reads 'Jinshan Jiangtian Zen Temple', and on the other side there is a sign 'Water and Land Dharma Assembly Ancestral Court', which reads 'Jinshan Temple'. In addition, the wall also has four big characters 'Eastern Jin Ancient Temple'.
✔️Originally, this temple was built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, named Zexin Temple and Longyou Temple. It was called Jinshan Temple in the Southern Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty. The plaque 'Jiangtian Zen Temple' was personally written by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. The temple is built according to the mountain, and further up are the Great Hall and the Sutra Depository, and there are also the ancient Fahai Cave and Cishou Tower. Cishou Tower is the towering pagoda that you can see from a distance.
✔️In mythological legends, Fahai always targets the White Lady, so it gives people a bad impression, but the real Fahai is not like this. Fahai's secular surname is Pei, the son of Tang Dynasty prime minister Pei Xiu. Because he was a vegetarian when he was born, his father believed in Buddhism and sent him to Heze Temple in Henan to become a monk, named Fahai. Fahai came to Jinshan, found a cave to meditate and meditate, and burned a section of his finger, swearing to revive the temple. It is said that one day he dug up a lot of gold on the river bank and reported it to the government. The emperor knew about it and ordered the gold to be given to Fahai to build a temple. After the temple was built, it was named Jinshan Temple, and Fahai disappeared.
✔️Jinshan is not more than a hundred meters high, and it quickly climbed to the top of the mountain. The setting sun sets, shining on the layered palaces below, shining brightly. The sea has changed into mulberry fields, the river has changed its course, and only the wide Jinshan Lake is left under the mountain. The Yangtze River in the distance has been blocked by trees and houses, and it is hard to see clearly. You can only see the bridge that is higher than the river surface.
✔️There is a monument pavilion on the top of the mountain, under which there is a stone tablet with the words 'Jiangtian Overview', which is the imperial pen when Emperor Kangxi toured the south. Coming down the mountain, at this time the tourists have basically dispersed, looking for a quiet place to rest, enjoying this rare tranquility.

Jinshan Temple is still worth going. Special reminder, there are two purchase items such as Jinshan Temple and Jinshan Park on Trip.com. In fact, you only need to buy a ticket, because Jinshan Temple is located in Jinshan Park. You can buy one and all the attractions can be seen.
All post-80s TV children who love the legend of the new white woman should not miss the punching point. Jinshan Temple built on the mountain, climbing the mountain and overlooking the Yangtze River, is a very good experience. There are so many people on Saturday, and Fahai Cave is very blocked.
See the temple, see the tower, see the mountains Wait a thousand years, Zhenjiang is a beautiful place to make people jealous, so you can try the balsamic vinegar taste ice cream 🍦 tastes not bad.
On Cishou Tower, the road to Fahai Cave is relatively narrow, and you need to queue up during holidays. The management is not very good and crowded. You can take a picture of Jinshan Temple along the way from Guanyin Square to the Royal Wharf. The angle is not. You can see the first spring in the world of the temple, that is, walking far away requires a little physical strength. The white peony of the seagulls at the Bodhi Botanical Garden Qingming Festival is beautiful.
It is worth the scenery. It is a good place to take children and the elderly out to see the beautiful scenery. The environment is very good. It is also very fun inside. I will go next time. The price is very high. The service attitude is also very good. 👍, come out to eat a bowl of Zhenjiang pot lid noodles. It tastes very good, very ancient charm
The famous Jinshan Temple, this time I was fortunate to enjoy the beautiful scenery here. It's really big inside! Many of the attractions are seen in film and television dramas, very old-fashioned, if there is a chance next time, I hope to have time to visit again all day!
History and legends, culture and myths, philosophy and life are concentrated in this small but famous monastery, "develop all the suffering", have been done, have been accomplished, have not been accomplished, in Jinshan Temple to find the answer yourself
