Gufeng Tower

If you don't know where to go on the weekend, you can take a walk in Changde, Hunan. Feel the fusion of new architecture and historical traces at Laoximen, experience the joy of boating at Daxiaohe Street, and finally embrace the peace of mind at Gufeng Tower.
No matter what season you come to Qianming Temple, you will have a colorful sense of déjà vu. Every time you come, you will see something new. Qianming Temple and Gufeng Tower are in one place, and you can get there anytime. It is very close to the city, and you will have different feelings on sunny days, rainy days, sunsets, and sunrises. I like to come when there are not many people, and the temple is particularly approachable. The atmosphere is particularly peaceful. There are 7 large halls and a tower in the temple. It is neither big nor small. Because there are no outsiders, it is very quiet but surprisingly clean. You can only hear the sound of chanting, bells, birds, cicadas, and your inner voice.
When the weather is fine, climbing the high tower of Qianming Temple is like being in the clouds, overlooking the entire city of Changde, which is refreshing. The atmosphere in the temple is unique, full of the ancient temple atmosphere. Walking in the quiet courtyard, you can feel the tranquility and wisdom precipitated by the years.
