The temple dates back to 1000 years with occasional restoration in the past years. The atmosphere is peaceful & calm. The outside was beautifully decorated with lanterns. There’s still a Buddhist monastery, so be ready to see monks walking around. The temple also consists of a restaurant offering a vegetarian buffet (not included in entrance ticket) Entrance 🎟 - 20¥ How to go ➡️ Take metro line 3 to Xiangji Temple station 香积寺地铁站 🚇 and walk for about 10 mins. #historicculture #historicplaces #temples#buddhisttemple #monastery #templevisits

## Hangzhou Pujing Hotel: Light and Shadow in the Poetic Realm of Jiangnan In Hangzhou, time always flows more slowly than elsewhere. This city, praised by Marco Polo as "the most beautiful and magnificent heavenly city in the world," has hidden its thousand years of elegance in the corners of its alleys, and Pujing Hotel is precisely the most poetic key to unlock this elegance. When morning light penetrates the carved window lattice, casting dappled shadows on the teak floor, you'll understand why scholars and artists have always compared Jiangnan to a long scroll of ink painting. Pujing Hotel reconstructs traditional courtyards with modern touches, concealing contemporary design elements among white walls and dark tiles, with every corner presenting an irresistible composition for the camera. The courtyard's water feature reflects the upturned eaves, and when koi fish swim by, they shatter the reflections of sky and clouds—capturing this moment feels like freezing a fragment of time. Guest rooms offer the most intimate framing. Floor-to-ceiling windows reveal either swaying bamboo shadows or artfully arranged rocks and water features. Celadon vases hold seasonal flowers on the desk, while bed pillows are embroidered with scenes of the Ten Views of West Lake. In the bathroom, marble countertops and brass fixtures create understated luxury, and when steam fogs the mirror, it's as if you're immersed in a misty landscape painting. These subtle details ensure every Trip Moments photo exudes the inimitable genes of Eastern aesthetics. The rooftop terrace hides golden angles for urban photography. Brew a pot of Longjing tea in the morning light and watch as dawn mist wraps Leifeng Pagoda in a light veil; hold a glass of wine at dusk and observe as thousands of lights gradually illuminate the Qiantang River. The hotel's dedicated photography butler knows the magic of light at every hour and can help you capture the moment a bird flies past the tip of Baochu Pagoda, or create clever compositions of the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon reflected in your room's mirror. Cuisine here is also visual art. In the all-day dining restaurant, traditional Dingsheng cake shares a plate with macarons, while West Lake water shield soup creates an interesting contrast with molecular gastronomy. Special guest tea masters demonstrate Song Dynasty tea whisking techniques accompanied by guqin music, creating snow-like foam that becomes the fleeting beauty your phone camera most wants to capture. Here, every scene expresses the Hangzhou aesthetic of "beautiful whether heavily adorned or lightly touched up." Pujing Hotel doesn't offer cookie-cutter social media backdrops, but instead uses space to tell the cultural memory of a city—when you look back at these Trip Moments photos, you'll discover that what's truly been captured are the poetic moments when your soul resonates with Jiangnan.

Xiangji Temple in Hangzhou is a Buddhist temple with a rich history. It was first built in the 3rd year of the Taiping Xingguo period of the Northern Song dynasty (978 AD) and was originally called Xingfu Temple. It was later renamed Xiangji Temple by Emperor Zhenzong of Song. Xiangji Temple covers an area of 16,855 square meters, with a total floor area of 13,150 square meters. It is the only temple in China dedicated to the Guardian of the Buddhist Meal (Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva). The temple's architectural style combines elements of traditional Hangzhou temples with innovative features, making it unique. From the archway, the central axis of the temple is lined with the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the Hall of Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, the Mahavira Hall, and the Sutra Library. On both sides of the temple, there are also the Guanyin Hall, the Manjusri Hall, the Samantabhadra Hall, the Bell and Drum Towers, and other buildings, with a total of 34 statues. Among them, the Hall of Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva and the Bell and Drum Towers are made of copper, making them resplendent and unique. As a thousand-year-old temple on the Grand Canal, Xiangji Temple has always been an important pilgrimage site for Buddhists. Every spring and autumn, devout Buddhists from Hangzhou, Jiaxing, and Huzhou would travel in groups by boat along the canal to burn incense and worship Buddha here.

He is also called "non-human" because of the horns on his head. It turns out that behind the Buddha statue is a female image of Kinnara, holding a pipa, and now you can understand why she is called the "God of Music". [Pushpin] The Three Buddhas and Eighteen Arhats enshrined in the Main Hall are vivid and exquisite!

The sun is shining and the breeze is not dry. I originally wanted to go to Lingyin North Peak, but thinking that it seemed like I hadn’t been to the Grand Canal for a long time, I came to Xiangji Temple next to the canal. . It is not as big as Jingshan Temple, nor as popular as Lingyin Temple and Faxi Temple, but it is hidden in a bustling city. For thousands of years, it has enshrined the only Kitchen God Bodhisattva in the country - Jianzhai Bodhisattva. .

Xiangji Temple, originally named Xingfu Temple, is a distribution center for pilgrims to Lingyin and Tianzhu, located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. It was built in the third year of the Taiping Xingguo period of the Song Dynasty (978). During the Dazhong Xiangfu period, Emperor Zhenzong of Song named it Xiangji Temple. The pagoda in Xiangji Temple, built in the 52nd year of the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty (1713), was listed as a key cultural relic protection unit in Hangzhou in 1963 and a key cultural relic protection unit in Zhejiang Province in 1997. Xiangji Temple began reconstruction in 2009. With the goal of building a "21st-century urban temple," the architectural style reflects the characteristics of half tradition and half culture, reproducing the prosperous scene of "the first fragrance of the Hangzhou Canal and the market style of Hushu." The new Xiangji Temple is based on the "seven halls of the Sangha" on the central axis, with the Hall of Heavenly Kings, Mahavira Hall, Sutra Library, and Mahasthamaprapta Hall, highlighting the vegetarian culture of "heavenly kitchen and wonderful offerings." On both sides of the central axis, the "Four Famous Mountains" are arranged, with the Samantabhadra Hall, Guanyin Hall, and Manjusri Hall arranged on both sides of the Mahavira Hall.

Spent the weekend at the Shaanxi Archaeological Museum until closing time, then rushed to Xiangji Temple a kilometer away for a quick visit before it closed. Time was limited, and the photos didn't turn out very well. I noticed many ginkgo trees in the temple, so I will definitely come back in the fall. 🌟Millennium Famous Temple 🔴In the second year of Yonglong of Emperor Gaozong of Tang (681 AD), Master Shandao, one of the founders of the Pure Land Sect, passed away. His disciple Huaiyun built Xiangji Temple and a pagoda to commemorate him, making Xiangji Temple one of the ancestral temples of the Pure Land Sect. 🔴Xiangji Temple flourished during the Tang Dynasty, with a grand scale. Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi, once visited Xiangji Temple to worship Buddha and bestowed relics. Empress Wu Zetian and Emperor Zhongzong of Tang also visited multiple times to pay homage. 🔴Wang Wei once wrote the famous poem "Passing by Xiangji Temple" here: "Unaware of Xiangji Temple, a few miles into the cloud peaks. Ancient trees with no paths, where in the deep mountains is the bell?" 🌟Cultural Relics 🔴Shandao Pagoda A fifth batch national protected site, built in the second year of Yonglong of Emperor Gaozong of Tang (681 AD), some say it was built in the second year of Shenlong of Emperor Zhongzong of Tang (706 AD). It is a square, dense-eaves brick pagoda with pavilion-style features, unique in form. Originally thirteen stories high, it now stands at eleven stories and 33 meters. The pagoda is hollow with a single wall, containing wooden floors and stairs, but it is not open to tourists. There is a saying that this pagoda is the Shandao relic pagoda, but Tang Dynasty spirit pagodas were generally not this tall. The Xuanzang relic pagoda at Xingjiao Temple is only five stories high, so the Shandao Pagoda is more likely a pagoda for the relics bestowed by Li Zhi. 🔴Jingye Relic Pagoda Located outside the east courtyard wall of Xiangji Temple, Jingye was a disciple of Shandao. The relic pagoda was built in the twelfth year of Kaiyuan of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang (724 AD), a square, five-story pavilion-style hollow brick pagoda. 🔴Dhāraṇī Sutra Pillars There are ten in total, erected during the Tang Dynasty. The text on the "Merit of Lighting Sutra Pillar" is still clear and legible, built in the thirteenth year of Tianbao of Tang (754 AD). 🌟Debunking Two Myths 🔴Many people say Xiangji Temple is one of the "Eight Great Temples of Fanchuan in the Tang Dynasty," even Baidu Baike writes this, but it is actually a rumor. Xiangji Temple is not in Fanchuan. Xiangji Temple has suffered from such rumors, and the abbot Benchang wrote a poem and placed it at the temple gate: "This temple stands on Shenhe Plain, unrelated to Fanchuan." 🔴During the An Lushan Rebellion, the key battle for the Tang army to recapture Chang'an took place at Xiangji Temple. Some marketing accounts hype the Battle of Xiangji Temple as the "pinnacle battle of the cold weapon era" and "the elite of the Tang army perished here." Professor Yu Gengzhe of Shaanxi Normal University believes this is pure nonsense, but it is true that Xiangji Temple was severely damaged in this battle. ——𝑻𝒊𝒑𝒔—— 📍Location｜Xiangji Temple Village, Guodu Street, Chang'an District, Xi'an City 🎫Tickets｜Free, no reservation required ⏰Hours｜8:00~18:00 🚗Transportation｜Take Metro Line 2 to Hangtian Station and transfer to Bus 9 to Xiangji Temple Village, or take a taxi for 5 kilometers from Hejiaying Station on Line 2.
