Puning Temple, Chengde – A Hidden Gem Worth Visiting! 🏯✨

#discoverchina I can’t believe Chengde’s tourism board isn’t promoting this place more—Puning Temple is truly a masterpiece! 🏯 Why Visit? A Blend of Han & Tibetan Architecture 🏛️: Built in the Qianlong era, this temple is a stunning mix of Chinese and Tibetan styles, nestled into the mountains with a beautifully symmetrical layout. World’s Largest Wooden Thousand-Hand Guanyin 🙌🪔: Standing 27.21m tall, this golden statue is awe-inspiring in person—photos just don’t do it justice! A Spiritual Experience 🌿✨: The temple offers free incense, and many visitors come here for fortune-telling—I gave it a try, and the experience was fascinating! DIY Buddhist Bead Bracelets 📿: Instead of buying a pre-made one, I got to customize my own from incense ash beads—a meaningful souvenir! This was my first time visiting, and it was both visually stunning and spiritually calming. If you’re in Chengde, Puning Temple is a must-see! 🏯✨ #thingstodo #familytravel #china
