Jiming Temple

An ancient temple in a busy city, a yellow wall in a gray city, under the Ming city wall, by the Xuanwu Lake, and looking at the high purple peak. Turning from Cherry Blossom Avenue into Jiming Temple, the hustle and bustle of the city is isolated outside the temple wall. Jiming Temple is an outstanding representative of temple gardens, revealing majesty in tranquility and ordinariness in prosperity. Go up the steps, enter the deep Buddhist temple, and wait for the Jiming Temple hill to appreciate the prosperity of Nanjing. Among the high-rise buildings, Jiming Temple is even more peaceful and quiet.

Everyone was wondering if the tickets would be cheaper online. But I saw that the tickets were only 5 yuan, and they also gave me three sticks of incense. No wonder the incense is so popular and well maintained.

There are many believers in the ancient Jiming Temple who are fulfilling their vows and making wishes... The incense is very strong. The Leifeng Pagoda in the New White Snake is the pagoda in the photo. It is very beautiful, a thousand-year-old pagoda. (I realized that many scenes in the New White Snake were actually shot in Nanjing)

You can go directly up to Jiming Temple from the Jiefangmen city wall without going down again.

I quite like this picture of the sea of ​​incense and the crowing of cocks. Actually, it is more atmospheric on a snowy day. However, the incense is not burning strongly enough, mainly because many of them were wetted or even extinguished by the rain and snow.

Due to time constraints, I was in a hurry to go to the next place to take pictures of the snow scene, so I didn't visit the Ancient Jiming Temple carefully. There are still many places worth savoring. If it hadn't snowed, I could have visited it for a while longer. The season was not right either. It is said that the peach blossoms in Jiming Temple bloom in spring, and the scenery is different again.

The ancient Jiming Temple is located next to the Nanjing government. The ticket is 10 yuan. You will be given three incense sticks when you enter. You can put them in the big stove at the top. The temple is full of charm and quietness. It feels a little playful. There are many tourists and the incense is strong. There is an endless stream of people kneeling to pray to the Buddha. Everyone holds the incense and closes their eyes. They pray silently in their hearts and hope that the Buddha will bless them. The yellow walls of the temple are matched with green trees. It is very attractive. Standing on the mountain and looking at modern Nanjing, you feel like traveling through time.

Jiming Temple is a landmark in Nanjing. People who have visited Xuanwu Lake will not miss it. During the cherry blossom season, the Jiming Temple is even more crowded. However, as a Nanjing resident, the traffic during the cherry blossom season is really unbearable to complain about!!! However, cherry blossoms bloom every year, but they are not easy to see during the heavy snow season.

Last year, it snowed heavily in Nanjing and I went to Taicheng to take pictures of Jiming Temple. It was so beautiful. The corridor of Jiming Temple connects to the Jiefang Gate of Taicheng City Wall. You need to buy an extra ticket to climb the city wall. There is a black wooden door at the end of one end of the city wall, which is very suitable for taking pictures with girls! Very artistic.

The incense at Jiming Temple is really popular. There is no shortage of people when the weather is fine. There is no shortage of fortune-telling uncles and aunts on the street. They will pull you along the way and ask you to enlighten your life. It is really annoying. Whenever I walk through this street alone, I must spend some money to have my fortune told. The persistence of those aunts is comparable to that of children who pester you to sell flowers.

There is a calligraphy and painting academy at the entrance of Jiming Temple. I have always wanted to go there, but every time I go in, I am told that I can only come after burning incense. As a result, every time after burning incense, I take a walk around and completely forget about the calligraphy and painting academy, and go straight out the north gate.

When I went there, Baiweizhai in Jiming Temple was under renovation. The restaurant upstairs was too small. Eating there was like fighting a war. Those who were eating took up seats, and those who hadn't eaten were waiting for those who were about to finish. It was not easy for a lonesome person like me to find a seat, and I couldn't be particular. I thought about it and just ordered some vegetarian noodles. It was no longer the same as before.

Although it is an ancient temple with a long history, the ticket is very cheap, only ten yuan, and you can get three incense sticks at the ticket check. But please note that you can only buy tickets with cash. We didn’t have any cash on us at the time, but fortunately a handsome girl lent us twenty yuan. I am very grateful to her. I hope that if anyone doesn’t have cash, you can also help~

Jiming Temple is not big and it only takes about an hour to visit it.

Jiming Temple, this thousand-year-old temple, also known as the Ancient Jiming Temple, is located on the eastern foot of Jilong Mountain in Xuanwu District, Nanjing. It is one of the oldest Buddhist temples and royal temples in Nanjing. Its history can be traced back to the first year of Yongkang in the Western Jin Dynasty. Since ancient times, it has been known as "the first temple in the Southern Dynasties" and "the first of the 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties". From a distance, the yellow-walled and black-tiled building looks solemn and agile under the shade of green trees. When you enter the temple, the first thing that catches your eye is the mountain gate. The mountain gate is a three-arched gate in the style of a memorial archway. Above the middle gate are four golden characters "Ancient Jiming Temple", which were written by Zhao Puchu, a famous calligrapher and former president of the Chinese Buddhist Association.

Built on the mountain, the overall scale is not large. Climbing up the stairs, the main hall was holding a ceremony, and then I found out that it was a nunnery. No wonder they said not to pray for marriage in Jiming Temple, it will definitely break up, haha. It seems that only the Medicine Buddha statue enshrined in the Medicine Buddha Pagoda is a historical site; the hanging sculptures in the Guanyin Hall give people a sense of oppression due to the cramped space and close distance, but the overall height is not enough, the statues are not many and not exquisite enough, and they are still inferior to what I saw in Lingyin Temple before. You can get incense with your ticket at the top. If you have been to a higher-level temple to burn incense, you don’t have to burn it here.

The ancient Jiming Temple has a history of more than 1,700 years. It is one of the oldest Buddhist temples and royal temples in Nanjing. It has always been very popular. It has been known as the first of the "480 temples in the Southern Dynasties" since ancient times. During the Southern Dynasties, it was as famous as the Qixia Temple and Dingshan Temple. It was the Buddhist center of China during the Southern Dynasties.



In the 20th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1387), Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the reconstruction of the temple and expanded its scale. He inscribed "Jiming Temple" with his own hand. After continuous expansion, the courtyard became large, covering an area of ​​more than 1,000 acres, with more than 30 halls, pavilions, terraces and houses. It was destroyed in war during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty and rebuilt during the Tongzhi period. In 1958, it was converted into a nunnery. Since 1983, it has been rebuilt according to the scale and style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and gradually opened to the public. In 1992, the crew of "The Legend of the New White Snake" came to Nanjing Jiming Temple to borrow the Medicine Buddha Pagoda to shoot scenes related to the Leifeng Pagoda because the Leifeng Pagoda in Hangzhou had collapsed and the new one had not yet been built.

The most famous cherry blossom temple in Nanjing is Jiming Temple, and the most visited temple is also Jiming Temple...

During the period when the cherry blossoms are in bloom, traffic control will be implemented on Cherry Blossom Avenue in front of Jiming Temple, and it can only be reached on foot.

Most people on the Internet recommend visiting early in the morning before tourists arrive, but I personally think the best time is actually near sunset. Although there are many people, most of them are returning tourists, and there are few people walking in, so the road is smooth. And at this time, you can see the scenery during the day and at night.

There are dense cherry blossom trees on both sides of Cherry Blossom Avenue, and it can be said that the romantic pink color is everywhere.

There is a cafe next to it where you can sit and enjoy the cherry blossoms.

Why am I so interested in the Ancient Jiming Temple? I can't tell the specific reason. Maybe it's because the name is unique, or maybe it's because it's convenient to visit. But when I searched its history on Baidu, I found that this temple is not simple. The Jiming Temple in history, or it should be called the Ancient Jiming Temple, was built in the Western Jin Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,700 years. It is the oldest Buddhist temple in Nanjing and has the reputation of "the first of the 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties".



The temple is not big. The ticket at the door costs 10 yuan, and three incense sticks are given. Then, after walking up the stairs for a few steps, you will reach the main hall. There is a large incense burner, and people come to pray one after another. Since I am here, I might as well make a wish and light some incense. The most conspicuous building in the temple is the Medicine Buddha Pagoda, which is on the other side. When I walked over to take a look, I couldn't go up, so I could only walk around the pagoda three times and pray for peace.



The architecture of Jiming Temple is great for photography enthusiasts. It is said that it is extremely beautiful after it snows in winter. Now is late autumn, the pagoda is glazed and the ginkgo trees are golden, which is also very good. The only drawback is that there are too many tourists. We visited here for about 40 minutes and went directly to the Ming City Wall (Jiefang Gate) from the back door.

Jiming Temple, which is said to have been built in the Western Jin Dynasty, is the oldest and most popular Buddhist temple in Nanjing. Interestingly, when the classic TV series "Legend of the White Snake" was filmed, the Leifeng Pagoda in West Lake, Hangzhou was under renovation, so all the scenes of the Leifeng Pagoda in the play were actually filmed in Jiming Temple.

However, after entering the temple, I found that the inside and outside of the temple were basically newly renovated by later generations. There was no trace of ancient style and charm. The environment inside the temple was also rather chaotic, and there were very few places to visit, so I didn't even have the interest to take pictures.

Fortunately, the stop at Jiming Temple was purely for checking in and saving time. I didn’t have high hopes, so I quickly checked in in 20 minutes and left.

It feels like a real temple doing Buddhist rituals, not a fake one. It's quite big inside, you can spend about half a day there, and you can go directly to the Ming City Wall, which is suitable for a walk together.

First built in the Western Jin Dynasty, Jiming Temple is full of ancient marks along with the waves of history. For more than a thousand years, even in its most decadent time, it has always been popular. It is a bright spot in the prosperous city, and that warm yellow is the most unforgettable color in Nanjing. There are four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties, and many towers are in the mist and rain. As the "No. 1 Temple in the Southern Dynasties", Jiming Temple lives up to its reputation. Even Zhu Ziqing said that Jiming Temple is more charming in the drizzle. I advise you to go to Jiming Temple, and it is best to choose a drizzling day or a moonlit night. In the haze, the faint ancient flavor is brewing. You sit on the Huomeng Tower with a row of bright windows, drink a bowl of tea, and look at the winding Taicheng in front of you." - Zhu Ziqing, "Nanjing"



What really made Jiming Temple famous was probably the filming of the crew of "The Legend of White Snake" here in 1992. Because the reconstruction of Leifeng Pagoda in West Lake, Hangzhou was not completed at that time, all the content about Leifeng Pagoda in "The Legend of White Snake" was filmed in Jiming Temple.



If you buy a ticket to Jiming Temple, you will be given three sticks of incense, which represent taking refuge in Buddha, monks and the Dharma. If you are sincere, your wish will come true. If you are not sincere, no matter how expensive the incense is, the Buddha and Bodhisattva will not be able to hear your inner desire. As a popular temple in Nanjing, Jiming Temple holds some Buddhist temple activities every year, with a constant flow of people and good men and women coming to pay homage with incense. Slowly climbing up the steps and passing through one hall after another, it seems like passing through layer after layer of troubles. There is a vegetarian restaurant in Jiming Temple, where you can have lunch at noon. The price is not expensive, about 40 yuan per person.

Legend has it that Jiming Temple is a temple that is very effective in seeking marriage. Many people go there, the incense is very popular, and the scenery is beautiful. The ticket is ten yuan per person, and three incense sticks will be given. People are required to burn the incense before worshiping the Buddha.

Jiming Temple can be traced back to the Eastern Wu Dynasty and has a long history. The current Buddhist temple was rebuilt in the late Qing Dynasty. Although it is not as large as before, it is already very popular. There are many people who worship Buddha and ask for fortunes here, and there are even more people when watching cherry blossoms and lotus flowers.

The entire temple was built on a small hillside. Its name was changed again and again by several famous emperors. Now those emperors are gone, and the companies they founded no longer exist. The Jiming Temple has become the Ancient Jiming Temple. Although it was newly built later, it is still there.



After receiving the incense, you have to burn incense before you can worship Buddha. Although you are not a devout Buddhist, it is not right not to burn incense. There are instructions for the incense route in the temple, just follow it, and there are also regulations for burning incense. If you know how to do it, you can burn incense directly. If you don’t know how to do it, you have to learn it. The temple is very popular, but there are not many staff.

2024.9.6 My wife and I visited the Ancient Jiming Temple as our first stop in the morning. This historic Buddhist temple is worth a visit.

I didn't go up, there were too many people, the tickets are not expensive, you can go and have a look

There are so many people here. Since you are here, just visit here.

Historical monuments and unique architecture! Despite the crowds, it's still worth going!

The best place to take panoramic photos of the Ancient Jiming Temple is on the city wall

The warm yellow is the most unforgettable in the bustling city.

But at 5:30 p.m., security began to clear the area.

One of the most conscientious scenic spots in Nanjing, a model of temples

There are four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties, and many pavilions are shrouded in mist and rain.

The most beautiful Jiming Temple in Nanjing is now full of cherry blossoms, and all the people in Nanjing come to see it.

Jiming Temple is not only beautiful in spring with cherry blossoms, but also in autumn, it is a very beautiful and quiet season.

The ancient Jiming Temple is built against the mountain, with a well-arranged layout and superb scenery.

No tickets are needed after 17:30. By chance, I attended a prayer ceremony! It was great! !

I didn't want to come here at first, but after seeing that people said it was a good place for marriage, I came. The ticket was very cheap and came with three incense sticks. The restaurant on the top had very reasonable prices and good food. The view was nice when sitting by the window.

In March, during the cherry blossom season, the pictures look great after adding filters.

The incense is very popular. I went there in March just in time for the cherry blossoms to bloom and there was an endless stream of tourists.

I have conquered all the most famous attractions in Nanjing. You need to buy a 10 yuan incense ticket to enter. The incense is still very popular.

I bought incense and worshiped Buddha, wishing Buddha good health and longevity. Don't work so hard, otherwise you will be exhausted to death if you try to take care of everyone's wishes. May my dream come true.

Jiming Temple is located on the Jilong Mountain in Xuanwu District, Nanjing. It was founded in the first year of Yongkang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It is said to be the first temple of the "480 temples in the Southern Dynasties". Most of the temples were destroyed by fire in 1973 and rebuilt in 1981. The ticket price is 10 yuan, and three incense sticks are given for free. The Medicine Buddha Pagoda behind the Pilu Hall should be the core of the whole temple. It is built in a small courtyard and is a bit cramped. It was built in 1990, with seven floors and eight sides. "Circle three times to the right" means walking around the pagoda three times to show respect.

A very nice place. When you enter Jiming Temple, you will be given three incense sticks. I thought for a long time and didn't know what to wish for. The incense was a little hot, what a pity. Sakura Island is actually very nice, just next to the Lovers' Garden.

It was a chance encounter. I hope that boy can get admitted to the university as he wishes!

Nanjing Jiming Temple is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Nanjing. Since ancient times, it has been known as the "No. 1 Temple in the Southern Dynasties" and the first temple of the "480 Temples in the Southern Dynasties". Accompanied by Nanjing's most beautiful cherry blossom avenue, a winding pink corridor is so beautiful that it seems to announce the arrival of spring in Nanjing.

The cherry blossoms outside Jiming Temple have long been known far and wide, but few people know that the red plum blossoms in the snow are even more gorgeous and eye-catching. There must be a lot of people going to the temple during the year. From the beginning of the entrance to Jiming Temple, there are crowds of people, and the queue is 10 meters away. Fortunately, the entrance of Jiming Temple has moved south now. The entrance in the picture below is just a decoration, and everyone seems to have tacitly stood at the bottom of the steps to take pictures, not to disturb its tranquility.

Jiming Temple is located on a hill on the eastern foot of Jilong Mountain in Xuanwu District, Nanjing. It is also known as the Ancient Jiming Temple. It was built in the Western Jin Dynasty and is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Nanjing. Since ancient times, it has been known as the "No. 1 Temple in the Southern Dynasties" and the first temple of the "480 Temples in the Southern Dynasties". It was the Buddhist center of China during the Southern Dynasties.

It is said that Jiming Temple is very effective in seeking marriage, so I came to give it a try~ There is a psychological adjustment center in the temple, where Buddhists use Buddhist and psychological knowledge to help pilgrims for free. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time, otherwise I would have gone in for consultation! The psychological consultation time is before 4 pm, so friends who are interested should go early. There are also vegetarian meals in the temple. I didn't go for a full meal, so I only ordered some snacks, which were not bad~ Anyway, places like temples are sincere and effective! I wish I can get rid of singleness soon, hahahaha

There are so many people on New Year's Day. It's fine if you just want to take a look at the city wall.

The road leading to Jiming Temple is lined with cherry trees. During the Qingming Festival, it is a sea of ​​cherry blossoms, which is very beautiful. It is also a good place for believers to seek marriage. It was already evening when I arrived at the temple that day. I lit the marriage incense with half-belief and half-doubt. In March of the same year, Akai and I got together.

The temple is built on the hillside. From a distance, it looks ancient and profound. I heard that it is very effective to pray for marriage here, and there are many believers who come to worship. I also went up to burn incense with a pious heart, hoping to find my beloved in the new year. The evening bell rang, ethereal and long, echoing in every corner of the temple.

I have been there many times. The temple is built on the mountain. The paths inside the temple are intricate and there is a beautiful scenery when you turn a corner. I have never tasted the vegetarian food in the temple. I will try it next time I have the chance.

I went there again in the spring. There were a lot of people and the cherry blossoms were beautiful.

It seems that there is a passage in the temple that leads to the city wall, but I didn't find it. When I was about to leave, I found a swallow's nest on the wall, which made me feel very warm. It's a pity that I didn't come in March, because I heard that the cherry blossoms were very beautiful.

From the side door of Jiming Temple, you can go directly to the Jiefangmen section of the city wall. If you want to take pictures of the sunset, you can arrive at Jiming Temple around 4 o'clock and then go to the city wall to take pictures.

I love the ginkgo tree in the temple the most. When we went there, it was late autumn and the leaves looked so beautiful under the sunlight!

There are quite a lot of people. It is winter now and there are still a lot of people. It is unimaginable when the cherry blossoms are in bloom.

The best place to visit Jiming Temple is in spring, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom and against the yellow walls, it is very beautiful. However, you cannot see the cherry blossoms at this time, so you can only experience it. The stone carvings in Jiming Temple also reveal the vicissitudes of life.

After passing the Nanjing Museum of Paleontology, you will see a group of buildings with yellow walls. Then you will arrive at Jiming Temple. There is a pavilion which is the ticket office. The ticket price is 10 yuan. At the ticket gate, each person can get a stick of incense for free, but you have to burn incense at the designated location.

After entering the door, three free incense sticks will be provided. We all use them respectfully to pray for marriage. It is said that the one in Jiming Temple is the most effective.

Jiming Temple is different from other temples I have visited. It is a very lively temple and its color and appearance also show that it is quite lively.

Put your hands together, walk around the pagoda three times, and pray for your family. Remember to walk clockwise! Before leaving Jiming Temple, you will come across a ginkgo tree standing quietly in the backyard, and you will feel a sense of tranquility. The ticket window only accepts cash.

The temple is not big, built against the mountain, and is very popular.

Actually, for me, a history buff, the most important reason to come here is that the crew of the "Legend of the White Snake" version starring Cecilia Yip and Angie Chiu came to the ancient Jiming Temple in Nanjing to borrow the Medicine Buddha Pagoda to film the Leifeng Pagoda-related dramas because the Leifeng Pagoda in West Lake had collapsed and the new one had not been built yet. In other words, the White Snake we saw when we were young was not trapped in the Leifeng Pagoda, but in the Medicine Buddha Pagoda in Jiming Temple. The ticket price is reasonable, and three incense sticks are also included. Although the temple is not big, the incense is very popular. Every time I go to a temple, I want to worship and pray for the safety of my family.

The Ancient Jiming Temple was first built in the Western Jin Dynasty. It is one of the oldest and most popular Buddhist temples in Nanjing. The environment in the temple is very elegant, with incense lingering. On the left is the alms table, in front of the table is the Maitreya Hall, above it are the Main Hall and the Guanyin Tower. There is a Rouge Well in the northeast of the temple. According to legend, Chen Shubao and his concubines Zhang Lihua and Kong Guipin once hid in the well. Because of this past, many tourists come here. The cherry blossoms on both sides of the road leading to Jiming Temple are particularly famous. During the Qingming Festival, a sea of ​​cherry blossoms is very beautiful.

Jiming Temple is very close to the Xuanwu Lake City Wall, and the ticket price is 10 yuan. After buying the ticket, there is a free incense burning place. If you just visit it as a tourist attraction, the temple is very small, so I don't think it is necessary to check in. There is a direct entrance to the Ming City Wall from the temple.

The location is right next to the Nanjing Municipal Government, with a small area. Tickets come with three sticks of incense. The tallest Medicine Buddha Pagoda can only be visited on the first floor, and you can go to Xuanwu Lake Park from the exit.

The ticket is 10 yuan, and you will get three incense sticks for free. You can burn incense and pray at designated locations in the temple. Ancient Jiming Temple is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Nanjing. It is the first of the 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties. There is a Baiweizhai vegetarian restaurant behind Jiming Temple. If you have enough time, you can go there to taste it.

It is ancient and different from other temples, and is worth visiting.

Jiming Temple is located south of Xuanwu Lake. The name of the temple is very distinctive and the ticket price is not expensive. The cherry blossoms here are very famous.

Just take a look, after all, it has ancient history.

The ticket comes with two incense sticks, which can be lit at the Jiming Incense Sea to pray for the health and safety of your family.

Jiming Temple has experienced many ups and downs over the past hundred years. It has been deserted yet prosperous at the same time.

When you get off Jiming Temple, you will see a sign pointing to the Ming City Wall.

I would like to recommend Jiming Temple. This is the Leifeng Pagoda in Zhao Yazhi's version of "The Legend of the New White Snake". Because the Leifeng Pagoda by the West Lake collapsed at that time and was being rebuilt, the pagoda of Jiming Temple was used. Jiming Temple is quite small, mainly a pagoda, but it gave me a good feeling. When I went there, the temple played Guanyin hymns, the music was cheerful and relaxing, and it was very comfortable to listen to. After 6 years, I still often think of it and hum it. When I go to the temple, I often feel safe and secure!

Jiming Temple is located on the southwest side of Xuanwu Lake, also known as the Ancient Jiming Temple. It was first built in the Western Jin Dynasty and is one of the oldest temples in Nanjing. Since ancient times, it has been known as the "No. 1 Temple in the Southern Dynasties" and the first temple of the "480 Temples in the Southern Dynasties". It was the Buddhist center of China during the Southern Dynasties.

Looking at Jiming Temple from the mountain gate, it really feels like an ancient temple in the south of the Yangtze River. When we arrived, the scenic area was not open yet, and there were not many people, which made the ancient temple more quiet.

The ticket price for Jiming Temple is 7 yuan, and three incense sticks are given as a gift;

The pagoda is called Medicine Buddha Pagoda. It is a seven-story, eight-sided pagoda newly built in 1991. It is the fifth large pagoda in the history of Jiming Temple. The pagoda is about 44.8 meters high, with seven levels and eight sides. The four characters "Medicine Buddha Pagoda" are the handwriting of Zhao Puchu, the president of the Chinese Buddhist Association.

I have to mention the vegetarian food in Jiming Temple. After the visit, I went to Baiweizhai on the top of the mountain to eat a bowl of vegetarian noodles. The vegetarian noodles were very delicious. I forgot the price, but it should not be too expensive.

The ticket is 10 yuan, and you will be given three incense sticks at the ticket gate. This was once the most famous temple in the Southern Dynasty, and it is still very popular, so you still have to burn three incense sticks. You can finish the tour in about half an hour.

The ticket price is 10 yuan, and each person will be given three incense sticks when checking in. There is an exit in the ancient Jiming Temple that leads to the ancient city wall.

The ancient gate of Jiming Temple stands alone in the middle of the road, and the rebuilt temple is about 2 minutes away from the ancient gate.

It is said that this place is for finding marriage, and is suitable for singles.

The beauty of Jiming Temple is indeed beautiful, but you have to come at the right season, around April in spring. At that season, the area around Jiming Temple is full of cherry blossoms, a sea of ​​flowers, a sea of ​​pink cherry blossoms.

The reason why I knew Nanjing and traveled to Nanjing was because I saw a panoramic photo of Jiming Temple in a magazine, so we had high hopes for Jiming Temple, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Next to Jiming Temple is the Nanjing Municipal Government, and Jiming Temple subway station is one of the most popular lines in Nanjing, close to Xuanwu Lake and Xuanwu Gate City Wall. The scenery and attractions of Jiming Temple are really average. But we can't belittle it. Jiming Temple is still very cost-effective. The ticket is 10 yuan and three incense sticks are given. It is said that praying for marriage here is quite effective. It should be a nunnery, with nuns everywhere.

The ticket to Jiming Ancient Temple is 10 yuan, and you will be given three incense sticks upon entering. You can go to the big stove at the top to offer them. I think Jiming Ancient Temple is a very impressive temple. It is not big, but you can feel it when you walk in. It is very beautiful and has its own characteristics. It is worthy of being the first of the 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties.

Passing the ticket office of the ancient city wall and the entrance of Xuanwu Park, go a little further to the north gate of Jiming Temple. If you have the energy, you should go forward and enter from the south gate. There are many things to pay attention to when taking photos in Buddhist temples, so I only took one photo. When the north wind blows, the lotus lanterns hanging on the ceiling of the believers sway in the wind, making a crisp collision sound. My mood calmed down. It is said that Jiming Temple is the first of the 480 temples in the Southern Dynasty. It is very effective to pray for marriage. If you are lucky enough to achieve it, remember to fulfill your wish. I knelt down devoutly and prayed for blessings. At the same time, I also found that Jiming Temple has no commercial atmosphere at all. I just climbed the Yuhua Pavilion yesterday. The exhibition in the pavilion has been in disrepair for many years. There are many believers who accumulate merits and light long-lasting lanterns, but it seems that the care is not ideal, which is a bit sad. I sincerely hope to show the story of the master moving God and raining rain flowers from the sky, and to take care of and repair the exhibition hall in the pavilion. Although the ticket office at the entrance of Jiming Temple is a bit shabby, or because I entered from the north gate, it feels like believers are helping to take care of it voluntarily. Although there are many tourists, everything is in order. I visited the life story of the deceased nun, who devoted a lot of effort to the development of Jiming Temple. There seem to be many areas to be built around the temple. I wish Jiming Temple will be prosperous. The three incense sticks you exchange for the ticket, remember to follow the steps of burning incense, burn incense on the mountain, and then enter the temple to pray. Jiming Temple really gives people a feeling of tranquility and far-reaching.

As a person without any religious beliefs, I came to the ancient Jiming Temple to seek marriage.

After you reach Jiming Temple, there will be a signboard that explains how to light incense (incense is given at the entrance, no need to buy separately) and how to worship. You can take a closer look. If you have prayed for a marriage, remember to come and fulfill your wish.

In addition to the fact that the incense is very popular, the Jiming Temple gives us a feeling of being a little playful in the quietness, revealing a little bit of the "Internet celebrity" atmosphere, which may be due to its great reputation~

There are cats in the temple. They are very kind. They lie in the pavilion by the well and let you pet them. From time to time, they open their droopy eyes to look at you, then bury their heads and continue to sleep.

There is a beautiful yellow wall in the temple. Near the exit, it is covered with vines and big red flowers in the corners.

There is also a library in the temple. Although it was not open on the day I went there, the "tips" sign at the door about "the relationship between choosing friends, vegetarianism and benevolence" was really interesting.

In addition, we have never eaten vegetarian food before, and this is the first time we tried the vegetarian food at Jiming Temple. I just want to say that it is really delicious!!!

The Medicine Buddha Pagoda is not open to the public, so it is a pity that you cannot climb up here to overlook the autumn scenery of Jinling.

Recommended playing time: 0.5 hours

As an ancient temple, it has also become one of Nanjing's important cultural landmarks. Go there in the early morning when there are few people to worship and calm your mind.

There was no rain that day and the sun was bright. If it had been misty, it would have been even more scenic.

Anyone who enters the temple will receive three incense sticks for free, and they can burn incense and pray when they reach the highest point.

I heard that Jiming Temple is known as the first of the "480 temples in the Southern Dynasties", so I came to visit it while I was staying in Nanjing. The ticket fee is 10 yuan, and three incense sticks are given. You can go up to the high platform and burn incense to pray for blessings and good fortune.
