Poetry that spans thousands of years! A must-visit guide to Suzhou Hanshan Temple ✨


📍 Address: No. 242 Fengqiao Road, Gusu District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province. This thousand-year-old temple is quietly hidden in the downtown area, waiting for you to find it!
🕙 Business hours: 07:30 - 18:00, admission stops at 17:30. If you want to stroll around leisurely, it is recommended to go early! 🎫 Tickets are 18 yuan per person. Buy them online in advance and scan the code to enter the park directly on site. It’s super convenient~
🚇 Transportation Guide: It is recommended to take the bus. Bus No. 313, No. 301, No. 33 and other buses can go directly to the "Hanshan Temple" station🚌; Friends who drive by themselves don’t have to worry, the surrounding parking lots are very convenient~

📸 Must-visit spot: Once you enter the West Gate, head straight to the "Bell Tower"! Spend 5 yuan to ring the bell three times, and the blessing is super effective 🔔 Puming Pagoda is definitely the center, and the panoramic photos taken here are super good~ Don’t miss Hanshiquan and Wenzhong Pavilion, the artistic conception of ancient poems is everywhere!
🍜 Special experience: Go to the vegetarian restaurant when you are tired of shopping! Have a bowl of delicious vegetarian noodles and buy a cute creative ice cream 🍦. It will be so cool to take photos and post them on Moments~ By the way! You can also get stamps and rubbings at the vegetarian restaurant, and take away the unique "Hanshan Temple Limited Edition"~

Real reviews 💕

Hanshan Temple is really amazing! Before entering the door, the sound of bells floated into my ears, and my heart felt calm instantly ~ The ancient buildings in the temple are simple and elegant, and the Puming Pagoda is shining golden in the sun. Every place is full of Zen, as if I traveled back a thousand years ago ~ The most interesting thing is feeding the koi. The chubby little guys compete for fish food, which is super healing!

The only small drawback is that there are more people during holidays 😭, so you have to seize the opportunity if you want to take good photos ~ but this also shows its charm! Whether you want to pray, experience Buddhist culture, or simply check in to relax, Hanshan Temple is a great choice. Be sure to include it in your itinerary when you come to Suzhou. You will never regret it! 🥰
