Check in at Baolian Temple in Autumn and Winter! Your ultimate photo guide is here~

📍Location: Xuzhou Baolian Temple 🚇Transportation: 20-minute direct taxi ride from the city center / Take Metro Line 2 to "Qiligou Station" and transfer to Bus Route 606. (For self-driving, navigate to "Baolian Temple East Gate" for free parking~) Sisters, I recommend taking a taxi! Get off at the traffic light on Chang'an Avenue, it's 200 meters from Baolian Temple. Don't go down the road in front of Baolian Temple, it gets jammed and you can't get out. 👗Outfit Guide: ✅Plain Hanfu + Warring States Robe, be sure to find a reliable makeup artist. ✅I wore a black woolen coat, and for the inner layer, I chose an orange cardigan + brown cashmere cropped pants. This way, taking photos with or without the coat looks great. ✅Solid-colored clothes will all be great for photos⚠️Note: Remember to bring hand warmers! 📸Must-take Photo Spots: 1️⃣Tongtian Pavilion Stairs 2️⃣Seven Buddhas Hall Glazed Tile Wall 3️⃣Ginkgo Avenue ✨I went on a weekend and there were so many people, I tried but couldn't get any good shots. I randomly found a girl, and the photos were absolutely amazing! She always found the right spots, and the photos were super good. She brought props and glasses, helped carry my bag, and provided great emotional support! Girls really do understand girls! This is not an ad! The photos are genuinely great! Directions (*・ω・)👉 Route: Taking photos with the lotus at the main entrance of Baolian Temple is free, and you get a small photo frame. A large photo frame costs 30 yuan, which you can decline. ➡️Enter the main gate for free➡️Walk further in, and after two buildings, you'll reach Tongtian Pavilion (1 hour for photos + sightseeing). 💡Notes: ✨Winter opening hours: 8:00-17:00 ✨You can get three free incense sticks at the entrance. ✨On weekends, it's recommended to go in the morning for good sunlight☀️

Baolian Temple

Step into the serenity of Baolian Temple in Xuzhou, where centuries-old halls meet vibrant red couplets and glorious sunshine 🏮☀️. This scenic spot seamlessly blends tranquil vibes with classic Chinese architecture—a must-see for culture lovers and photographers alike. 🧭 Perfect Itinerary: Start at the main gate for that picturesque stairs shot—especially lovely with people ascending surrounded by festive couplets. Wander through the temple’s courtyards, soaking in the intricate woodwork and gold-topped pagodas. Join in a calming incense ritual, and don’t miss the prayer wheels for a hands-on cultural moment. 📸 Top Photo Ops: Snap an overhead angle of friends or family walking the stairs, with those glowing red couplets as a bold backdrop—for a truly "insta-worthy" group picture. The temple’s close-ups show off rich architectural details—ideal on clear, sunny days. 🔍 Visiting Tips: Arrive early (before 9 AM) to enjoy a peaceful visit and beautiful light for photos. The temple is open all year, 07:00–17:00, so you can plan a flexible trip. Dress modestly and wear easy-on, easy-off shoes—a must when exploring temple interiors. ⚠️ Precautions: Respect temple customs: speak softly and avoid flash photography indoors. On sunny days, bring water and sunscreen; Xuzhou weather can be hot, even in the shade. Keep valuables close since areas near staircases can get crowded, especially during festivals. #Xuzhou #BaolianTemple #ChineseArchitecture #CulturalTravel #PhotoSpot
