Very good place, especially in this spring blossom March. Pink seagulls, pink early cherry, red magnolia, against the tower, pavilion, brake, Zhuang Muzhong is not lost in the soft, happy.
The day I went to Daming Temple, it happened to be raining heavily. I couldn't visit it seriously. I just went shopping in a hurry. I had a vegetarian meal at noon and it felt okay, relatively light. It feels good if you can stroll around carefully. I have a chance to go again next time.
Spring blossoms, long ancient temples, early spring Daming Temple, fresh air, pleasant environment, moths, plum blossoms, spring, high Qiling tower, pregnant with a thousand-year story, mountains and rivers exotic, wind and moon on the same day!
I went to play alone on the weekend. The place was not particularly big. The pavilions inside were very exquisite. It was a coincidence when I came. There happened to be a tour group explaining, so I followed it. In the Guanyin Temple, you can put incense. You can tell the little master inside that you want to make a family healthy, and you are willing to help me buy incense for free. People are quite good.
It is very convenient to issue tickets from Trip.com. It is very convenient to directly swipe your ID card to enter the park.

Over 1500 years, the name of the temple has changed, such as the name of the "Qiling Temple", "West Temple", Tang Dynasty called "Qiling Ping", etc. Qing Dynasty, because of the word "Daming", once called "Qiling Temple", Qianlong 30 years emperor's own written book "Qiling Fajing Temple". The temple is built with a nine-story tower, magnificent and magnificent, known as the "China's Youjun Special", and the old temple is also known as the "Qiling Temple". The Tang Dynasty Jianzhen Master Ren Daming Temple abbot, making Daming Temple an important ancient temple in the history of the relationship between Chinese and Japanese Buddhist cultural relics.
Take the family to Yangzhou just in time for the cold current to cool down in the afternoon, did not go to the Slender West Lake, choose the Daming Temple with less outdoor tour time. The staff was very considerate and told us that there was no ticket below 1.4 meters. The temple is very historical, and during the tour with children, it learned about Master Jianzhen, Ouyang Xiu, Su Shi and others. The courtyard designed by Liang Sicheng is very beautiful. At the same time, I also saw the grave of Master Shi Tao, because I don't know much about Chinese painting, and I can only tell the child that I am also a master. The overall feeling of the tour is quite good.
It is indeed a famous Buddhist temple in Yangzhou. The emperor's south tour has to visit the temple many times. The garden is very large, it takes 2 hours to complete all the attractions, but it is a storm all the way. But it is worth it. This is the place where the Tang Dynasty Jianzhen Master is practicing. He also spreads Buddhist and Chinese originalism from Dongdu Japan. The Qiling Tower is the commanding height. You can take the elevator to the 7th and 8th floors overlooking the old city of Yangzhou. You need to buy a separate ticket (26 yuan).
This ticket is very cost-effective. Yangzhou played for 2 days. On the first morning, I went to Yangzhou Grand Canal Museum (reservation one day in advance, free tickets, rent headphones to explain RMB20), there is too much content, and I am ready to have time to come again. In the afternoon, I went to Daming Temple and ate vegetarian; Then I went to the Slender West Lake, played for more than 3 hours, and dine at Yangzhou Lion Building in the evening; the next morning I enjoyed a garden, and at noon I ate food on Dongguan Street and brought some specialties home, a fulfilling leisure trip.
