Hong'ensi Forest Park

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

Hong'en Temple sits a top a slow inclining hill, the beautiful example of Chinese architecture looks out over sweeping city scenes, with the river on one side and endless high rises and mountains on the other. The surrounding Hong'ensi Parkland is a quiet get away from the busy city, with very little people wondering through the greenery. There are very few tourist spots in China that allow you to feel completely at one with nature whilst being central. There are small stalls for snacks and drinks, but this isn't the normal Chinese destination, with tourist buses and ticketing booths, which is why I think it's impossibly unique. #unforgettableexperiences#historicculture#bestislandtraveltowns#culturalattractions#nationalpark

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.
