Nanchan Temple Review

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.

从锡剧博物馆步行去南禅寺，步行1.5公里左右，路上顺便在地下商场食其家吃个午餐。景区很大，大雄宝殿和妙光塔古色古香，美食街游客如云，烟火气息浓郁。

没有查过无锡游玩攻略的朋友，可能会以为难缠丝就是一个简单的寺庙，其实南禅寺可以说是无锡的文化和经济中心不得不说南禅寺是一个古老的寺庙，而且效果非常的旺盛，每年的春节，南禅寺都会在这里举办敲钟一事也会引来很多的当地人和游客前往。我来的时候是白天进入寺庙也是人山人海的。寺庙的面积虽然不算很大，但是拍照却能够拍出很多好看的效果，特别是站在南禅寺的塔前，那种巍峨的感觉让你油然而生。游逛寺庙的时间可能不会很久，但是在南禅寺周边还有一个小小的商圈，这里有很多的东西可以购买，在晚上的时候还有夜市，但是我比较推荐的是大家品尝一下南禅寺的斋饭，我当时特别的饿，看到南禅寺的有斋饭就立刻品尝了一下，价格在20元左右，味道还算适中，最主要的是环境好清静，吃的一碗斋饭，感受无锡的南禅寺的美

夜游一番很有乐趣，中途还会停下让游客去参观。
