A very effective temple in Suzhou

A very effective temple in Suzhou is Hongji Temple.

Hongzhi is a thousand-year-old temple, located in the urban area of Suzhou. It was built in the Three Kingdoms period and has a history of about 1700 years. It is said that Sun Quan built it to repay his mother's kindness. The Hoonji Pagoda in the temple is a nine-level eight-sided pagoda. Because of the height limit of the old city, this pagoda has become the tallest building in the old city of Suzhou and a symbol of Suzhou city.

Perhaps there is a bonus of Sun Quan's filial piety. Hoonji is very effective in making healthy wishes. There are always pilgrims piously circling the stupa in Hoonji. The temple is very big and there are no tickets. Antique buildings make people linger. The transportation is also very convenient. Take the subway North Tower Station directly, and there are many buses around.

Introduction to mystery

Hongji Temple in Suzhou is actually called Beita Temple in Suzhou. It is the oldest temple in Suzhou. It was built in the Three Kingdoms period by Sun Quan for his mother. Known as "the first ancient temple in Wuzhong", it has the same effect as Nanjing Dahongzhi. However, how can the buildings of 1 700 years ago be preserved to this day? It took thousands of years to build it to its present scale.

The Hoonji Pagoda in the temple is also the best in Gusu City, with a height of 76 meters, ranking first among all ancient pagodas in the south of the Yangtze River. Unfortunately, Suzhou North Temple Pagoda, like all protected cultural relics, has been unable to climb. There are 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, and the pagoda in the North Temple echoes the Tiger Hill outside Gusu.
