[2024 Nanjing Attraction] Travel Guide for Grand Baoen Temple Heritage and Scenic Area (Updated Sep)

Unpopular gem in Nanjing 🪷

The Grand Baoen Temple Heritage & Scenic Area is located on the south bank of Qinghai river near Zhonghua gate in Nanjing. The museum depicts the birth of buddhism as a religion in China & the history of the temple which stands as a giant structure made of porcelain. I’m not a big fan of museums, but this one was truly mind blowing with relics, carvings, paintings & and immersive art exhibition. There are few restaurants inside with a Costa coffee & ice cream vendors. At the exit, grab some artsy souvenirs from the massive gift shop. The entrance ticket was 90¥, pricey but worth it 👌🏼 #urbanexplorer #buddhism #nanjing

The Grand Baoen Pagoda

This place was bigger and more magnificent than I expected. You can easily spend 1 to 2 hours inside viewing all the displays. To get there, I took a taxi from Xuanwu Lake, and it cost around 25 yuan. The entrance fee was 90 yuan, and it was worth it. They didn't only have displays but also different VR experiences. When you arrive, you need to go downstairs (staircase to the left) to buy tickets before going through the entrance. The best part about visiting was that I won the shake your phone game and got a VR experience coupon. #nanjing #urbanexplorer #temple #china

This place does not boast an actual temple, but rather the remains of history dating back to around 200ad! This is the spot where the second Buddhist temple was established in China. The museum built around the excavated remained of song and Ming dynasty buildings is a beautiful tribute to the religion that once made its home here.

Remember the ninth issue of CCTV's "National Treasures" program? At that time, I was moved by the embroidered story of the actor Qin Haijuns true feelings, and the story took place in the ancient Baoan Temple in Nanjing. Therefore, I also yearn for the ruins of the Dabaoen Temple. How can I miss this time in Nanjing? After visiting, I was amazed by the colorful glass that was re-enacted in the park. It was also a pity for the pagoda that was destroyed in the war. May the world stay away from war and disaster, and good things can last forever.
