The most divine place in Nanjing!! Absolutely a hidden gem level!

Who understands! This thousand-year-old ancient temple in Nanjing, which hides the origin of the "480 Temples of the Southern Dynasties," welds history and technology together. Visiting once is directly stunning to the point of speechlessness 😭 As a national first-class museum built on the ruins of the Ming Dynasty Glazed Pagoda underground palace, it has fewer people and better scenery, making it more suitable for immersive check-ins than Niushou Mountain.
