Want to know more about scenic spots, you can see the relevant introduction of Jiming Temple:

Jiming Temple, also known as the ancient Jiming Temple, faces Xuanwu Lake in the north and was built in the Western Jin Dynasty. It is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Nanjing. During the Qingming period, you can watch the cherry blossom sea on the road in front of the temple, and climb the pharmacist tower to overlook the lotus flowers in Xuanwu Lake in summer.

The history of Jiming Temple can be traced back to Qi Xuan Temple in Wu Dong. When the temple was in the Three Kingdoms, it belonged to the backyard of the State of Wu. In 300 (the first year of Yongkang in the Western Jin Dynasty), he built a house on the mountain and founded the Dojo. After the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was renamed Tingwei Department. In 527 (the eighth year of Nanliang), Liang Wudi was built in Jimingtai, becoming a real Buddhist resort. 1387 (twenty years of Hongwu in Ming dynasty), Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of Ming dynasty, ordered the demolition of old houses, the expansion of scale and the reconstruction of monasteries. Zhu Yuanzhang inscribed "Jiming Temple". After the expansion of Xuande, Chenghua and Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty, the courtyard was large in scale. Later, the ancient temple was destroyed by the Xianfeng War. Although the Tongzhi period was rebuilt and the scale was greatly reduced, the incense has been flourishing.
