Daci Temple

The long scroll of history slowly unfolds, revealing the shocking 'An Lushan Rebellion' of the Tang Dynasty, which forced the emperor Tang Xuanzong to seek refuge in the 'Land of Abundance'—Chengdu. This tranquil land bore the royal family's anxiety and hopes. Today, although Da Ci'en Temple has experienced vicissitudes, its architectural style is a carefully reconstructed treasure from the Qing Dynasty, still standing at No. 23, Da Ci'en Temple Road, Jinjiang District, Chengdu, quietly waiting for the world to explore. Within the temple, the great master Xuanzang once devoted himself to studying the precepts here, endowing this place with an immensely revered Buddhist heritage. Stepping into Da Ci'en Temple is like entering a quiet world where one can listen to the whispers of the soul and bathe in the fragrance of Zen. It is a dwelling place for the spirit, a starting point for a thousand-year journey of prayer, and an ideal place deeply imbued with historical and cultural essence.

There are often performances of melodious local songs, with the elderly sitting around sipping tea and chatting merrily, presenting a vivid picture of a peaceful and leisurely community. You might as well blend in, savor a cup of clear tea, and steal a moment of leisure from life. The vegetarian meals in the temple are simple yet abundant, served promptly at 11:30 every day, with a wide variety, and affordably priced.

Daci Temple, also known as the ancient Daci En Temple, was founded during the Wei and Jin dynasties, flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties, and is renowned for its long history, profound culture, grand scale, and the emergence of many high monks, being known as 'the foremost Sangha in the land of Shenzhou'. The Tripitaka master Xuanzang once traveled from Chang'an to Chengdu, where he took monastic vows and studied the Vinaya at the Daci Temple's Vinaya Academy. Due to the visits of Emperor Xuanzong and Emperor Xizong of Tang to Shu, many famous painters also gathered in Chengdu, leading to a great flourishing of the painting scene. Within Daci Temple alone, there were more than a thousand murals. The temple has experienced periods of prosperity and decline, being destroyed by war several times, with the existing halls being reconstructed successively after the Shunzhi era of the Qing dynasty. The temple complex includes the Hall of Heavenly Kings, Guanyin Hall, Mahavira Hall, Dharma Hall, Sutra Tower, and others.

Coming to the land of abundance - Chengdu, it hides the folk customs of western Sichuan, the historical clouds of the Three Kingdoms, and the profound Bashu culture. But what I yearn for more is the ease, leisure and slow pace here, as well as the irresistible street Sichuan flavor temptation, the spicy taste makes people want to put the whole Chengdu in their stomachs. I passed by Chengdu several times before, always in a hurry, without a good taste of this city. This time, I decided to feel it, drink tea, pick ears, taste the style of Shu, eat all the spicy delicious; the fireworks here are dense, but not lost in the old quiet, like a complex old painting, gathered the simple life of the people, and like a cup of tea soaked in stories, waiting for the destined people to taste carefully. **DAY1: Daci Temple The cutest temple in the downtown🏯** The first stop of my trip to Chengdu, I chose Daci Temple not far from the hotel. Although I am not a religious believer, I am full of expectations for this "quiet in the noise of the millennium ancient temple". Perhaps because it is in the commercial center area, this millennium famous temple still maintains its simplicity and tranquility. I stroll among them, as if through time, feeling the precipitation of Chengdu for thousands of years. And in a hidden small world in Daci Temple, the tea culture of Daci Tea House makes me linger, when I am upset, the clear tea here seems to be a pure land. **Fisherman's Fish Goose Soft Stone Fish Hot Pot 🐟🔥** Chengdu's food is everywhere, and the Fisherman's Fish on Zhimin Road is a stop I can't miss. Fresh fish are caught, processed on the spot and then served, allowing me to witness the most authentic fish hot pot. After eating hot pot, dessert is indispensable, and the ice powder on Zhimin Road is one of the most famous desserts in Chengdu. **IFS The panda that can climb walls 🐼🏢** Chengdu people use IFS panda as a landmark, dating, taxiing are here. Overlooking Chengdu from the top of IFS, the panda in the sky garden square is particularly cute. This is a must-visit place in Chengdu, adding a touch of fun to the trip to Chengdu. This trip to Chengdu is full of expectations and surprises, the tranquility of Daci Temple, the hot pot of Fisherman's Fish, the panda of IFS, all make me deeply feel the unique charm of this city. Looking forward to exploring more Chengdu food and culture!🌆🍲

Da Sheng Ci Temple is unique in that it once had many sub-temples and is a famous Buddhist temple in Chengdu. I seem to remember it was not open to the public the last time I came, my memory is a bit fuzzy.. But this time when I passed by, the gate was open. Because it is located in the city and is a bustling area of Taikoo Li, there are many tourists. Although the temple is not quiet, it is a peaceful place amidst the chaos. The famous paintings and bronze Buddhas in the courtyard are very distinctive and worth seeing. 📍Location: Inside Taikoo Li district 🎫Tickets: Free ⏰Time: 8:30–17:30 (Entry stops at 17:00)

#timetotravel We always walked past this place so we could only admire its facade however we had been invited by firends to have some tea inside the temple and we were surpised to see how beautiful it is inside. It is nicely located in a busy shopping area but when you are inside you can still feel the tranquility that it offers to its visitors. I am just glad that the local government preserved this place despite the development and modern buildings around it. #mytripvlog #tripblazers #chengdu #chinatravel

Chunxi Road Business district In addition to high-rise buildings and commercial pedestrian streets, the most popular giants of IFS and luxury goods gathered in Taikoo. Taikoo Li is an open, low-density block form shopping mall, which is composed of many lanes and lanes. The Chinese classical design of the Qingwa-shaped top is matched with the modern floor-to-ceiling glass wall. The unique architectural style is impressive. . The fashion trend of people coming and going, adding to the scenery of Taikoo Li, it has become a photography base, and has a large scene, so Taikoo has become a must-see for photographers from all directions. Walking into a strip, I found that it is definitely the best street shooting place in Taikoo, and the light and the building are staggered, making the light softer. A lot of people travel, basically don't go to the temple, they feel that this is a serious place, or a place that is not suitable for travel, but this is not the case in Daci Temple in Chengdu. Daci Temple is next to Taikoo Li, but there are not many people who actually go inside the temple, but here is really an invincible place in Chengdu. In the inside of Daci Temple, you can see a lot of such super cute little monks, big and small, these super cute monks, attracted so many children, the photo is really good.
