[China/Suzhou/Saionji]

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip The total area of ​​Saionji Temple (Kaido-Ryu-ji Temple) in Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China is about 49 square meters. It is said to have been built between 1264 and 1294, and was originally called "Kigen-ji Temple", but it also came to be known as "Saionji Temple" and "Western Garden". It is also notable that it has so many names. Within Saionji Temple, there is a temple and a garden, and buildings such as the Four Great Heavenly Kings Hall, the Great Hero Hall, the 500 Arhats Hall, the Kannon Hall, and the Sutra Repository. There is also a famous noodle restaurant within Saionji Temple. I highly recommend it.
