🌟Recommended attractions
🔹Longxing Temple: Depart from Chengdu at 9 am and arrive at Longxing Temple at 10 am. This ancient temple is hidden from the world and has a giant tower 81 meters high. Locals often say, "The spirit of Longxing Temple lies in sincerity." Here, you can make a wish with just 6 yuan and find unprecedented peace and satisfaction.
🔹Bailiyi Longxing Market: A treasure trove for taking photos. There were many girls in Hanfu taking pictures when I went there. 📷 Absolutely beautiful! ❗️ There are all kinds of fun and Hanfu activities, from trendy to intangible cultural heritage, from coffee to teahouses, from food to shopping. It's a fantastic journey of historical and modern fusion.
🔹Taiping Street: Check out the local favorite couple's buckwheat noodles, and be sure to order their signature strange-flavored dumplings. Ji Guokui, 100 meters away from the couple's buckwheat noodles, is always a queue king. The freshly baked Guokui is crispy!
🔹Hualu Street: Although the Su Erjie Goose Shop is mini, it is always popular. The goose meat is thick and fragrant, fully absorbing the freshness of the marinade and the oiliness of the hot oil. The key is that the seasoning is just right, not too salty.

A blend of nature and culture—explore the natural scenery and cultural landscape of Sansheng Temple.
Sansheng Temple, an ancient temple that carries the history of the Three Kingdoms and the brilliance of Buddhism, is located in the quiet Guihua Town, Pengzhou City, Sichuan Province. It seems like a page of history has been gently turned, leaving behind the fragrance of time and the brilliance of wisdom.
Morning bells and evening drums of the ancient temple
At Sansheng Temple, the morning bells and evening drums are not only reminders of time, but also calls to the soul. When the first ray of morning light shines through the gaps in the ancient trees and falls on the mottled stone steps, the bell rings in the valley, awakening the sleeping creatures and the piety in the hearts of the pilgrims. When dusk falls, the sound of the drum rises, intertwined with the night wind and the chirping of insects, bringing a sense of mystery and peace to this land.
Fragrance of history
The history of Sansheng Temple can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms period and is closely related to Zhang Song's residence. Here, the loyalty of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei and the wisdom of Zhang Song are intertwined, forming a series of legendary stories. The statues in the temple are not only memorials to the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, but also praises to loyalty and wisdom.
Ginkgo legend
In the White Crane Hall of Sansheng Temple, an ancient ginkgo tree stands quietly, said to have been planted by Zhang Song himself. The tree has a unique shape and has been pruned to look like a crane. It seems to be a witness to history, telling a thousand-year-old legend. Every autumn, the ginkgo leaves turn yellow and cover the ground, as if paving a road to wisdom.
Universal illumination of the Buddha
The architectural complex of Sansheng Temple, including Sansheng Hall and Daxiong Hall, exudes a sense of solemnity and tranquility. Here, the compassion of the Buddha and the piety of the monks are intertwined, forming a tranquility that transcends the mundane. Whenever the sunlight shines through the window lattice and falls on the Buddha, it seems to be the universal illumination of the Buddha, bringing warmth and comfort to the hearts of the believers.
A spiritual home
For those seeking inner peace, Sansheng Temple is an ideal home. Here, you can find inner peace in the morning bells and evening drums, gain wisdom about life in the fragrance of history, experience the passage of time in the ginkgo legend, and experience the power of faith in the universal illumination of the Buddha.
Sansheng Temple, a place full of literary and artistic atmosphere and connotation, awaits the arrival of everyone who yearns to explore the inner world. Here, you can put down the hustle and bustle of the world, listen to the voice of your heart, and experience a spiritual enjoyment beyond the material.
The Beauty of Architecture: Unveiling the Unique Charm of Longxing Zen Temple.
Longxing Zen Temple is a historic Buddhist temple located at the north gate of Chengguan, Pengzhou City, Sichuan Province. It was first built in the third year of Xiankang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (337 AD) and was originally named "Dakong Temple". In the second year of Yongding in the Liang Dynasty (558 AD), Master Zhigong expanded the temple. In the second year of Tianshou in the Wu Zetian period (619 AD), the temple was renamed "Dayun Temple". In the sixth year of Kaiyuan in the Tang Xuanzong period (718 AD), the temple was officially named "Longxing Temple".
Longxing Temple has experienced many ups and downs throughout history. In the fifth year of Huichang in the Tang Wuzong period (845 AD), the temple was abandoned, but in the following year after Wuzong's death, Xuanzong succeeded to the throne, and in the second year of Dazhong (848 AD), Master Yuzhi rebuilt Longxing Temple. By the 1940s, Longxing Temple covered more than 80 acres, with four main halls including the Heavenly King Hall, the Three Great Masters Hall, the Great Buddha Hall, and the Sutra Tower, and many side halls. The temple was surrounded by red walls, with towering artificial hills and ancient trees behind it. The layout was regular and reasonable, the style was simple, the corridors were connected, and it was exquisitely elegant.
Longxing Temple is not only a religious holy land, but also a famous revolutionary memorial site. In the late period of the domestic liberation war in 1949, senior generals from Sichuan and Kang provinces held a meeting in the Sutra Tower of Longxing Temple, declared a peaceful uprising and telegraphed the whole country, avoiding large-scale wars and casualties. During this period, the monks of Longxing Temple provided important logistical support.
The temple houses precious cultural relics such as the jade Buddha presented by the King of Myanmar at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the relics and "Baiye Sutra" presented by the King of India, and the Tripitaka presented by Japan. The most precious of these is the Relic Pagoda, which is located in the front of the temple and is one of the 19 existing real relic pagodas in China.
The Relic Pagoda of Longxing Temple was first built in the second year of Yixi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (406 AD). It was originally a wooden structure pagoda built by the Indian monk Tanmojueyi. It was rebuilt into a secret eaves brick structure pagoda during the Five Dynasties by Master Yuzhi. The pagoda is square, with 17 secret eaves and a height of 35 meters. All 68 corners are hung with horseshoe bells. It is one of the oldest pagodas in China.
In addition, the architectural complex of Longxing Temple integrates the architectural styles of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties. It is one of the oldest, largest, and best-preserved temples in Hunan Province. The buildings in the temple are nail-free and rivet-free, reflecting the architectural structure of the Tang Dynasty, and also leaving traces of the Song and Ming Dynasties.
Longxing Temple is not only a pilgrimage site for Buddhist believers, but also an important place for studying ancient Chinese architecture and Buddhist culture.

Bailiyi·Longxingji is located next to Longxing Temple in Pengzhou District. I have already made an appointment with my friends to visit again during National Day! Not only can you visit the "Qu Shui Chang Lang", but you can also go to "Yikou Pengzhou" to eat various Pengzhou delicacies in one stop. Eating in a cyberpunk street area must also have a different flavor. You can also visit the "Wangta Market" to see the characteristic street area and visit the national style stalls. The night view is also very beautiful.
