#Jiming Temple #Nanjing #Visit #January 2023
The Jiming Temple (simplified Chinese: 鸡鸣寺; traditional Chinese: 雞鳴寺; pinyin: Jīmíng Sì) is a renowned Buddhist temple in Nanjing, Jiangsu, China. One of the oldest temples in Nanjing,it is located in the Xuanwu District near Xuanwu Lake. The ticket is 10 yuan. The temple, which literally means "rooster crowing" was first constructed in 527 during the Liang dynasty and has been destroyed and reconstructed many times. The existing temple was initially constructed during the Ming dynasty during the reign of the Hongwu Emperor in 1387. It was destroyed during the Taiping Rebellion but was rebuilt later. By 1931 most temple buildings had been appropriated as barracks by police and army of the Nationalist government of Republican China. The main hall had been emptied completely apart from the large Buddha statue. Only one hall, near the city wall was still being used for worship. The temple remained popular primarily because of its tea house which was also situated in that hall.
MAAK
Lining the avenue in front of Nanjing Jiming Temple, these flowering cherry trees are very popular with visitors. To get the full experience, climb the ancient city wall. From here, you'll get a panoramic view of the temple and the beautiful cherry blossoms together. If you've got time, stick around until the lights come on at night, as the blossoms look even better when they're lit up.

A Buddhist holy land.
Take Nanjing Metro Line 3 and walk to Jiming Temple. The ticket is only CNY 10. Walk along the ancient road and pass through the mountain gate to enter the main area of the ancient Jiming Temple. The buildings here are simple and elegant. In the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the statues of the Four Heavenly Kings stand majestically, guarding the Buddhist holy land. Continue forward to the Pilu Hall, the Bronze Buddha Hall, the Guanyin Hall, and others. The atmosphere is solemn and the Buddha statues are compassionate and peaceful. Many tourists come here to pray sincerely. The temple is full of incense. There are many special attractions in the temple, such as the Medicine Buddha Pagoda, which is the landmark of Jiming Temple. I had a bowl of vegetarian noodles in the temple, which was a blessing.

Autumn appreciation in Nanjing | The leaves are not yellow in mid-to-early November.
| The leaves are not yellow in mid-to-early November. I thought about coming to Nanjing to enjoy the autumn🍂I didn’t expect it’s still a bit hot 🙂 The weather is still cloudy☁️ Today’s attractions are all in one line, and we can arrange a day trip, but it’s a bit useless.
📍Lao Mendong
🔹You can go to Laomendong for breakfast in the morning.
🔹Personally, I feel that the commercial atmosphere in Laomendong is not as strong as that of Confucius Temple.
🔹There are many cultural and creative stores, food stores, clothing stores, etc., and it is quite easy to browse.
📍Zhanyuan
🔹Tickets🎫: 30 yuan/person
🔹It is about 1.2 kilometers away from Laomen East. You can walk there or take a taxi.
🔹Zhanyuan is quite big. I went there at the wrong time. The leaves were not yellow yet, but still green, but it was very antique. There were quite a few ladies wearing Hanfu to take pictures.
🔹As soon as you enter the door, you will see the history museum, and through the museum you will see the garden landscape.
🔹Every window, every corridor, and every pavilion is a good opportunity.
🔹The play time is about 2 hours.
📍Gujiming Temple
🔹Ticket🎫: 10 yuan/person
🔹It is 5 kilometers away from Zhanyuan. You can choose to ride a bike, take a taxi or take the subway there. But Zhanyuan is also 1.3 kilometers away from the subway station, which is a bit far.
🔹The most beautiful Gujiming Temple is when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom from March to April. I personally don’t think you should go there except for praying. There are quite a lot of people on weekends.
📍Xuanwu Lake
🔹Xuanwu Lake is on the left hand side of the exit of Gujiming Temple. These two attractions can be visited together.
🔹You can climb the city wall to take pictures of Jiming Temple.
🔹Xuanwu Lake is also quite big, and there are sightseeing buses available.
🔹The recommendation index is not high.
📍Yangzhou
🔹Xuanwu Lake is 2 subway stops away from Nanjing Station, which is very convenient.
🔹With 1 hour of high-speed train time, you can definitely go to Yangzhou to experience the bathhouse culture and Yangzhou morning tea😋

At peace in Nanjing
We visited Jiming Temple from our list of budget-friendly attractions. The entrance fee was 10 yuan. The staff was very friendly and helped us buy tickets via wechat, we understood each other without problems in English. Jiming Temple has a beautiful mausoleum, plenty of space for prayer and a place to burn incense. In addition to the perfectly maintained architecture, it also offers a view of the walls and the city, which is also worth seeing. We spent 45 minutes on the tour, as we took a lot of photos. We continued our journey through the walls to the islets in the middle of Xuanwu Lake.

Nanjing Sightseeing: Ancient Jiming Temple!
Jiming Temple was established during the Western Jin Dynasty and is one of the oldest temples in Nanjing, boasting a history of over 1,000 years. It is situated on a small hill (Jilong Mountain). Formerly known as Tongtai Temple, it was deeply revered by Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty during the Southern Dynasties. It is also famous for its cherry blossoms, making it a beautiful sight during that season. Descending the hill, I reached Xuanwu Lake. The lake got its name after a black dragon appeared in it during the Southern Song Dynasty. You can walk in the lake, so I took a stroll there.

Nanjing City Wall: 700 Years of History
The Nanjing City Wall is a Ming Dynasty city wall that still stands today. Construction began in 1366 and took 28 years to complete. The wall is made up of four sections: the Palace City, the Imperial City, the Capital City, and the Outer City. The Outer City is 60 km long, and the Capital City is 35.267 km long, making it the longest brick city wall in the world. The Nanjing City Wall has 13 gates, 2 large water gates, about 13,616 crenels, and about 200 watchtowers. It is a masterpiece of ancient Chinese military defense and city wall construction technology.
The Nanjing City Wall was built to suit the terrain, following the mountains and rivers, forming an irregular shape. This magnificent city wall has stood for over 600 years, making it one of the most impressive city walls in the world. In 2014, the Nanjing City Wall was fully opened to the public, and most of the remaining sections can be visited.
Each gate of the Nanjing City Wall has its own story and unique scenery. For example, the Shence Gate is named after the Shence Guard, who were stationed there, and the Taicheng Gate is named after a poem by the great poet Wei Zhuang: "The rain falls on the river, the grass grows on the riverbank, the Six Dynasties are like a dream, the birds cry in vain. The most heartless is the willow of Taicheng, still shrouded in mist along the ten-mile embankment."
Each place can be studied and appreciated in detail, allowing you to experience the beauty of history and culture.
My favorite section is from Shence Gate to Taiping Gate. It is easily accessible by subway. On one side, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Xuanwu Lake and Purple Mountain, and on the other side, you can see the cityscape, including the Zifeng Tower. At Taicheng, you can get a close view of the ancient Jiming Temple and overlook the old buildings of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the City Hall.
After visiting this section of the city wall, you can walk to Jiming Temple, Beijige, the Paleontology Museum of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and then visit Southeast University. It is also close to the Presidential Palace. If you are an adventurous traveler, you can walk from the alleys near Southeast University to the Presidential Palace, experiencing the local life of Nanjing.

There are many people during the National Day holiday.
I wanted to go up to the Ming City Wall to see the whole view of Xuanwu Lake. I was lucky to encounter the beautiful moment of Jiming Temple in the evening. The setting sun was setting.
The Jiming Temple in front of me was shining with golden ginkgo trees or a piece of green.
Under the dark blue sky, it seems like an oil painting.
Continue to walk forward and see the "Zifeng Building, ancient and modern, in front of your eyes.

Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.
Nanjing, a city with a long history, has been one of China's political, economic, and cultural centers since ancient times. Its reputation as the "ancient capital of the Six Dynasties" comes from the fact that six dynasties established their capitals here over a period of nearly 400 years: Eastern Wu, Eastern Jin, and the Southern Dynasties of Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen. These dynasties all had their capitals in Jiankang (now Nanjing), so Nanjing is known as the "ancient capital of the Six Dynasties".

Touring the Ancient Capital of Six Dynasties, Visiting the Ancient Jiming Temple
Jiming Temple, located on the eastern slope of Jilong Mountain in Xuanwu District, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, enjoys the reputation of "Ancient Jiming Temple." The temple is named after the mountain, and Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, stayed in the temple four times to seek Buddhist teachings. It is one of the oldest temples in Nanjing, known as the "First Temple of the Southern Dynasties" and the leader of the "480 Temples of the Southern Dynasties." Together with Qixia Temple and Dingshan Temple, it is considered the center of Buddhism in the Southern Dynasties.
Jiming Temple was first built in 300 AD (the first year of Yongkang in the Western Jin Dynasty), and its origins can be traced back to the Xuan Temple of the Eastern Wu period, located within the rear garden of the Wu State. It has a history of over 1,700 years. After several changes, in 1387 AD, the 20th year of the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the expansion of the temple and personally inscribed "Jiming Temple," meaning "to rise and practice diligently upon hearing the rooster crow." This marked the beginning of its illustrious history.
Jiming Temple was destroyed by fire during the Xianfeng period and was rebuilt in the 1980s under the leadership of Abbot Zongcheng. Hu Shi wrote poems here, Guo Moruo sought divination here, and Zhu Ziqing referred to it as a must-visit place in Nanjing in his writings. In 1992, the crew of "The Legend of the White Snake" came here to film, making Jiming Temple famous as the best place to seek marriage.
The temple has many buildings, including the magnificent Mahavira Hall, Guanyin Tower, Weituo Hall, Zhigong Tomb, Sutra Library, and Chanting Hall. Among them, the Medicine Buddha Pagoda, a seven-story, eight-sided pagoda built in 1991, stands 44.8 meters high and has become a landmark of the temple.
The temple offers different scenery in all four seasons and eight festivals. It is recommended to visit once in each season: in spring for the cherry blossoms, in summer for the lotus pond in Xuanwu, in autumn for the golden phoenix trees, and in winter for the snow in Jinling.
Passing by Jiming Temple
With a staff, I invite myself into Jinling, looking westward at Jiming with unease.
In the pond, gulls and herons rest together at dusk, while bees and butterflies share the morning on the flowers.
