⛩️Jiming Temple, the first of the 480 temples of the Southern Dynasties, has stood for over 1,700 years and is still a popular destination for worshippers. Each visit offers a different atmosphere and experience. 🙏 The temple's architecture is simple and elegant, with the Pilu Hall, God of Wealth Hall, Medicine Buddha Pagoda, and Guanyin Bodhisattva Hall all exuding a solemn and sacred aura. It is said that prayers for blessings are very effective here. On New Year's Eve, people flock to the temple to pray for good luck and peace in the coming year. Things to note when visiting the temple ⚠️ 1️⃣ The temple's south gate is for entry only, and the north gate is for exit only, so plan your route accordingly. 2️⃣ Dress appropriately and avoid inappropriate behavior to show respect for the temple. 3️⃣ There are many steps in the temple, so it is recommended to wear flat shoes for easy walking. 4️⃣ When worshipping, bow outside the hall before entering. No incense or photography is allowed inside the hall to maintain a solemn atmosphere. 5️⃣ When offering incense, hold the incense with your left hand on top and your right hand below, raise it to your forehead, and bow in all four directions to show sincerity. 🎫 Tickets are only CNY 10 and include three sticks of incense. After offering incense, enjoy a bowl of vegetarian noodles.
