Suining｜A Quiet City with a Thousand-Year Temple

#chinatravel

Tucked between Chengdu and Chongqing, Suining is often overlooked—a quiet, unhurried city where the Fu River divides old and new. Known as the hometown of Guanyin, it’s home to Guangde Temple, a Tang Dynasty gem once honored by 11 emperors. Calligraphed by Yan Zhenqing himself, the temple whispers ancient peace through its incense, towering trees, and distant bells. Next door, locals sip tea and play cards by the lake at Wolong Villa, embodying the city’s gentle rhythm. Suining may lie on the margins, but for those who slow down, it offers a rare serenity steeped in 1600 years of stillness.
