Zhejiang Travel Guide

Gaoming Lecture Temple丨A temple with a wise name 🎈Gaoming Lecture Temple is located in a remote area. The taxi took a long time to get there, and finally stopped at an unknown place. The parking lot is not big, and it is estimated that only about 30-40 cars can be parked, which shows the incense and crowds of the temple.

🎈It is about a 2-minute walk from the parking lot to the temple. The stone walls and bamboo forests on both sides of the road are very impressive.

🎈A little closer, you can see a pagoda, which is very beautiful. Judging from the color, it should be newly built and not very old. Its color is very similar to the style of northern temples.

🎈There is a small stream in front of the temple, with many ornamental fish in it. The four characters of the temple name Gaoming Lecture Temple are also very distinctive. From the perspective of artistic characteristics, it is not very artistic, but rather childish. Take a closer look at the inscription, wow, it was written by Kang Youwei.

🎈The layout of the temple is quite satisfactory, not very distinctive, but not the kind that gives people a brand-new feeling. The entire temple is not large, and it can be visited in about half an hour to an hour. However, the dragon under the eaves and the trumpet creeper on the wall gave me a very good feeling. In addition, the stele supported by the Bixi also gave me a very good feeling.

🎈When I went there, I should have caught up with a puja, which was still very solemn and solemn. In addition, some monks should have come here to exchange and study, and the whole atmosphere was still very good.

🎈I just want to complain a little bit, the toilet is still a traditional dry toilet, um, how should I put it, there are a lot of mosquitoes, on the one hand, I am worried that I will fall down when I go to the toilet, and on the other hand, I am worried that the mosquitoes will carry me away...
