Address: No. 21, Minghuang Fenglin Road, Hutang Town. The temple itself is small, but its atmosphere is exceptionally peaceful, making it a great place for a morning stroll and prayer. The temple boasts a simple Thai temple-style setting, and the golden architecture is photogenic. From there, take another 10-minute taxi ride to Prajna Mountain Changzhou Baolin Zen Temple. Address: No. 98, Hongxi Road, Wujin District, Changzhou. Open: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM. This Zen temple exudes a secluded atmosphere. Its beautiful pineapple-shaped architecture houses a 40-meter-tall statue of Guanyin. The cultural and creative shops at Baolin Temple are also adorable. Next, head to Changzhou's main city. For lunch, don't miss Changzhou Silver Silk Noodle House (Maxiang Branch). Address: Unit A, Rooms 102-202, Unit B, Rooms 102-202, Building 1, Maxiang Apartment (diagonally opposite the south gate of Tianning Temple).
