🏯Tang Dynasty architectural beauty intact! Dangsan Datang Xingguo Zen Temple Stroll✨

A quiet mountainside slightly away from the city center of Dangsan.

With the grandeur of the Daeungbojeon, red pillars and golden eaves decorations,
and the air filled with the scent of incense,
I felt as if I had entered the Tang Dynasty a thousand years ago.

This is Datang Xingguo Zen Temple!

📍 Location hint
It is located in the southern part of Dashengshan Park in Dangsan Lubei District.
It is close to the city center but quiet,
and it is free admission, so there is no burden 🙏

🏛️ Temple structure
Passing through the main gate, Sanmun
→ Cheonwangjeon
→ Daeungbojeon
→ Guanyinjeon, Janggyeongru, and Manbuldang
The layout that leads to the central axis is the standard structure of a traditional Tang Dynasty temple. The buildings are all decorated with red Dancheong and golden eaves,
so when you take pictures, they come out really gorgeous 📸

🌳 Atmosphere and scenery
A pond, stone lanterns, and a pine tree path are in harmony within the temple grounds,
and there is a point where you can look down on Dangsan city at a glance if you look up!

The entire temple exudes a quiet yet majestic energy.

🕰️ Historical points
• Originally built under the name of “Heungguk” during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang,

• It collapsed in the great earthquake of 1976,

• It was restored in the 2000s and reborn as its current appearance.
