Zhenjiang, Jiangsu--Jinshan Temple searches for myths and legends.

🌈Introduction to the attractions: Jinshan Temple has a long history. It was founded during the reign of Emperor Jin and Ming. After more than 1,600 years of precipitation, it has become famous all over the world. Originally named Zexin Temple, it is now known as an important Taoist temple of Chinese Buddhism and is famous for its water and land Taoist temples. During the Wei, Jin and Southern Dynasties, under the wise guidance of Emperor Wu of Liang, eminent monks gathered here, compiled Buddhist classics, and compiled the "Water and Land Ritual". Later, Shuilu Dazhai was used as a carrier to promote Buddhism and established a large-scale Shuilu Taoist temple in Chinese Buddhism. In the fourth year of Tianjian, Emperor Wu of Liang personally held a solemn water and land ceremony at Zexin Temple, which made Jinshan Temple famous. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, when Fahai was digging gold for Zhenjiang Prefect Li Qi, he handed over the gold and used it to repair the temple. Li Qi was therefore ordered to rename it Jinshan Temple, and Fahai was honored as the founder of the temple because of his outstanding contributions to Jinshan Temple. This is not only recognition and praise for Jinshan Temple, but also promotion and amnesty for the spiritual inheritance of Buddhism. 👍Must visit attractions: ⭐The Main Hall is the main building of Jinshan Temple. It was destroyed by fire in 1948 and rebuilt in 1985. It maintains the original double-eaves Xieshan-style ancient architectural style and is the tallest and largest version of the Main Hall in the history of Jinshan Temple. ⭐The ancient Fahai Cave, also known as Fahai Cave, Peigong Cave, and Mang Cave, is located on the north side of Jinshan Mountain, under Cishou Pagoda. It is said that this is where the founder of Jinshan Temple, Monk Fahai, lived when he was in Jinshan. ⭐Furong Tower: Located on the shore of Taying Lake, the first spring in the world in Jinshan, it was built by Wang Gong, the governor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It was rebuilt at the site in 1992. ⭐ Cishou Pagoda: Founded more than 1,400 years ago in the Qi and Liang Dynasties, it was restored during the Yuanfu period of Emperor Zhezong of the Song Dynasty. After reconstruction, it became an octagonal seven-story pagoda. It has been damaged and rebuilt many times. ⭐Miaogao Terrace: Also known as Shaoying Terrace, there are cliffs on the east, west and south sides. You can overlook the Yangtze River on all sides of Jinshan Mountain. Su Shi, the great writer of the Song Dynasty, once left here the famous line "When will the bright moon come out?" 🎟Tickets: 65 yuan/person

The most off-the-beaten-path city I visited this year. I'm afraid it will become popular.
