What travelers say:
Came on April 30, 2023. Nanchan Temple is just outside the south gate of Wuxi City. It is one of the "480 Temples in the South Dynasty", and has a history of nearly 1,500 years. According to the Qing Dynasty "Rebuilding Wuxi Nanchan Temple Stele", Nanchan Temple ranks second in the "Liangxi Ten Great Temples", after Huishan Temple, and is a classic tourist attraction in Wuxi. Moreover, Nanchan Temple is connected to Nanchang Street and the Qingming Bridge Ancient Canal Scenic Area newly renovated in recent years. There is no doubt that this is a popular attraction for Wuxi tourism and it is not to be missed. Now every holiday, it is crowded. If you like lively, you can feel the pomp of "people crowded" in the past, but this experience is really not very good, it is recommended to avoid the peak. For self-driving foreign tourists, it is difficult to find a parking space around during peak hours. Everyone should take the subway.

Open the center of the universe - Wuxi Nanchan TempleNanchan Temple, also known as Fusheng Zen Temple, is located in the north area of Wuxi Nanchan Temple Scenic Area, No. 32 Xiangyang Road, Liangxi District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, located in the south corner of Wuxi old city, beside the ancient canal. Nanchan Temple was built in the first year of Taiqing of the Southern Liang Dynasty (547 AD), initially named Huguo Temple, one of the 480 temples of the Southern Dynasty. Nanchan Temple, a quiet place by the ancient canal, has experienced thousands of years of vicissitudes and witnessed countless historical changes. It is not only a place of Buddhist culture inheritance, but also a place where people seek spiritual tranquility. Entering Nanchan Temple is like traveling through the tunnel of time and space, returning to that ancient era. The Heavenly King Hall, the Daxiong Treasure Hall and other buildings are simple and elegant, and every brick and tile reveals a sense of historical heaviness. Here, you can feel the solemnity and sanctity, and also feel the tranquility and peace. Walking along the stone road, the Miaoguang Tower stands in front of you. This ancient pagoda has witnessed the glory and glory of Nanchan Temple. The tower is tall and straight, the top of the tower is shining with golden light, and whenever the sun shines on the tower, it emits dazzling light, as if telling an ancient and mysterious story. Here, you can put down the hustle and bustle of the world and feel the tranquility and peace. Let the soul be purified, let the thoughts settle. Nanchan Temple, a mysterious place worth exploring, a place where your soul can be comforted.Bella Edwards
Nanchan Temple in Wuxi, Jiangsu: A solemn Buddhist temple that has stood for 1500 yearsAlthough Nanchan Temple is small, it is bustling with incense and closely connected to the historical district by the ancient Wuxi Canal. The Miao Guang Tower in the temple stands out among the pink walls and black tiles, becoming a landmark in this area. After worshipping in the temple, you can go shopping nearby, taste delicious food, and the night view here is definitely worth a look. Nanchan Temple was first built in the early years of Taiqing of Emperor Wu of the Southern Liang Dynasty (AD 547), and after many ups and downs, the temple we see now was rebuilt in the 1980s and 1990s. The south end of the temple is the main gate, and there are only a few buildings such as the Daxiong Hall on the north-south axis. The seven-story Miao Guang Tower on the east side overlooks the roofs of the antique buildings below, and the Nanchan Temple Wharf on the south side of the ancient canal, as if a scroll of the ancient canal is unfolding before your eyes. The Nanchan Temple Vegetarian Restaurant on the east side of the temple gate provides vegetarian meals, which can be ordered for takeaway. The area around Nanchan Temple has formed a commercial area, with all kinds of snacks, antique markets, flower and bird markets, and book cities. You can go shopping for some small items. The snacks here are similar to most tourist attractions in Wuxi, such as stinky tofu, Wuxi ribs, grilled chicken wings, etc. Out of Nanchan Temple is Nanchan Temple Pedestrian Street, a few steps to the east next to the temple is a Mu Guiying food store, which some tourists call "a place to eat after visiting Nanchan Temple", mainly selling pastries and snacks, magnolia cakes, green groups, small cages, and zongzi are all good. When night falls, the lights of Nanchan Temple and the old houses by the ancient canal are bright, and the strings of red lanterns hanging on the old houses are reflected in the canal, attracting many photography enthusiasts. It is recommended that you must take a walk along the canal, or take a boat tour of the Qingming Bridge Ancient Canal Scenic Area from Nanchan Temple Wharf. The water bus (i.e. tour boat), travels from Nanchan Temple Wharf to Shuixian Daoist Temple in the southeast, and then returns to Nanchan Temple Wharf. Sitting on the boat, from Nanchan Temple Wharf to Kuatang Bridge, you can see the fashionable old buildings, namely Yangchun Lane Commercial District. From Kuatang Bridge to Qingming Bridge is the essence part, known as "Jiangnan Water Alley, Canal Unique Land", transformed from old houses into historical districts, you can find many beautiful people leaning on the water, small balconies. It is recommended to take a boat to Shuixian Daoist Temple, then walk back to Nanchan Temple Wharf, if interested, you can also turn to Yangchun Lane for a visit.maeva_48601
Heading towards 'Xi'Finally came to play in Wuxi! 📍Nan Chan Temple Do you remember the line from Du Mu's 'Spring in Jiangnan': 'Four hundred and eighty temples of the Southern Dynasties, how many towers and pavilions in the smoke', Nan Chan Temple is one of them. 📍Nan Chang Street Water and land run parallel, with river streets adjacent. The houses on both sides of the river live along the river. As time goes by, many interesting shops have sprung up. Find an afternoon, invite a few friends to take a walk, listen to the Pingtan tunes, watch the new things, and the afternoon is gone.ANIYAH MCBRIDE
In the Jiangnan area, there are many temples due to historical reasons. Especially during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there were poems in the "four hundred and eighty temples of the Southern Dynasties, how many buildings were in the rain." In the Southern Dynasties, many temples were built in the Jiangnan area, and there is such a place in Wuxi, Jiangsu. The Nanchan Temple in the center of Wuxi is one of the 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties. It was built in the early years of the Southern Dynasties of Emperor Liangwu (AD 547) and has a long history of nearly 1500 years. This temple was originally called Huguo Temple. It ranks second in Wuxi Temple, second only to Huishan Temple. It is a well-known ancient temple in Jiangnan. Nanchan Temple has become a landmark in Wuxi. Now it has built a commercial street in Nanchan Temple. Both locals and foreigners like to come here to visit, but now the size of Nanchan Temple is much smaller. If you visit, you can walk around in 20 minutes. The temple maintains the architectural style of the Jiangnan area during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. A towering tower in the temple is the symbol of Nanchan Temple. The Miaoguang Tower is 43.3 meters high and was built in the Northern Song Dynasty. It has been more than a thousand years old. Nanchan Temple was rebuilt in the Northern Song Dynasty Tiansheng, and Song Renzong gave the name "Fusheng Temple". Eight years later, Song Renzong gave the name "Shousheng Temple" to the North Zen Temple corresponding to Nanchan Temple. It is a very glorious thing for the same emperor to give names to the two temples in Xicheng. Nanchan Temple is located in the city center and is easily accessible by subway.River2014.

Came on April 30, 2023. Nanchan Temple is just outside the south gate of Wuxi City. It is one of the "480 Temples in the South Dynasty", and has a history of nearly 1,500 years. According to the Qing Dynasty "Rebuilding Wuxi Nanchan Temple Stele", Nanchan Temple ranks second in the "Liangxi Ten Great Temples", after Huishan Temple, and is a classic tourist attraction in Wuxi. Moreover, Nanchan Temple is connected to Nanchang Street and the Qingming Bridge Ancient Canal Scenic Area newly renovated in recent years. There is no doubt that this is a popular attraction for Wuxi tourism and it is not to be missed. Now every holiday, it is crowded. If you like lively, you can feel the pomp of "people crowded" in the past, but this experience is really not very good, it is recommended to avoid the peak. For self-driving foreign tourists, it is difficult to find a parking space around during peak hours. Everyone should take the subway.
Although Nanchan Temple is not big, it is full of incense. The historical district built along the ancient canal of Wuxi is connected to the temple. The Miaoguang Tower in the temple is very conspicuous in a white wall and black tile building, which is a landmark in this area. After the temple ceremony Buddha is completed, you can go shopping and eat food nearby, and the night view here is also worth seeing. Nanchan Temple was built in the early years of Liang Wu Emperor Taiqing in the southern dynasty (547 AD), and future generations have repeatedly been in the past. The temples you see are now rebuilt in the 1980s and 1990s. The gate of the temple is at the southern end, and there are only several buildings such as the Grand Palace on the central axis of the north and south direction. The Miaoguang Tower on the east side is 7 floors high. On the tower, you can see the roof of the antique buildings connected into one piece. You can look at the Nanchan Temple Pier on the south side of the ancient canal. There is a vague feeling of an ancient canal painting unfolding in front of you. The Nanchan Temple Vegetarian Restaurant on the east side of the temple gate has vegetarian food and you can order takeaway. The business district has been formed around Nanchan Temple, with snacks, antiques market, flower and bird market, bookstores and everything, you can go shopping and find some gadgets. Snacks are similar to most tourist attractions in Wuxi. Smelly tofu, Wuxi ribs, and roast chicken wings are available. Out of Nanchan Temple is Nanchan Temple Pedestrian Street. A few steps east, there is a Mu Guiying food next to the temple. Some tourists call it "must go to eat after visiting Nanchan Temple". The main cakes and snacks, magnolia cakes, youth groups, small cages, dumplings are good. Whenever night falls, the old house by the Nanchan Temple and the ancient canal lights up. A string of red lanterns hanging on the old house reflect in the canal. The beautiful night scene attracts a lot of long guns and short guns. It is recommended to take a walk along the canal, or take a cruise to Nanchan Temple Pier to visit the ancient canal scenic spot of Qingmingqiao. Canal water bus (that is, cruise ship), from Nanchan Temple Pier to the southeast to Narcissus Domain, and then turn back to Nanchan Temple Pier. Sitting on the cruise ship, from Nanchan Temple Pier to the cross-tang bridge, I saw a fashionable old building, Yangchun Lane business district. From the cross-tang bridge to the Qingming Bridge is the essence part, known as "Jiangnan Water Alley, Canal Out of the Print", from the old house into a historical block, you can find many water-front beauty rely, small terrace. It is recommended to take a cruise to the Narcissus Dome, and then walk back to the Nanchan Temple Pier. If you are interested, you can also turn to Yangchun Lane for a stroll.
