Kaiyuan Temple, a thousand-year-old temple in Chaozhou | A tranquil Zen retreat amidst the bustling city, experiencing the rich cultural heritage of Lingdong

#September Good Places 2025
Teochew Kaiyuan Temple, it really feels like traveling through time and space! 🌿 Built during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, this thousand-year-old temple is still majestic and dominant. It is the first largest temple in Lingdong. The architecture combines Tang and Song style with Chaozhou unique craftsmanship - once you enter the Great Hall, there are many stone pillars. 👏

The space inside the temple is super open, and every corner is full of charm. Listening to the sound of Sanskrit songs, feel the tranquility and Zen, instantly isolated from the busy city, the whole person chill back ~ Although Kaiyuan Temple is sandwiched in the bustling city, but the incense shrouded its own pure land, not only a pilgrimage place for Buddhist believers, but also a deep photo window of Teochew culture.

The integration of history and faith here really gives people a kind of shock through time and space - this ancient temple is not only a treasure of architectural art, but also a microcosm of the spiritual world of Teochew people, worth your slow feeling and savoring! 🛕✨
