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.
