Chang'an Temple

Chang'an Temple is the oldest temple complex in Shenyang. It is said that Chang'an Temple is also the only temple with a city inside the temple. On weekdays, incense is flourishing, and it is in the hearts of Shenyang people. It is a holy place for prayer. Chang'an Temple is located next to Shenyang Middle Street.

Suitable for a quiet stroll, suitable for taking a stroll along the way.

In Chang'an Temple Lane, you need to pay attention or ask passers-by. There are no obvious road signs. There is no entrance fee, and you are not forced to burn incense and worship Buddha. Although it is not very famous in the country, the overall layout is still relatively careful. The main hall, side halls, and similar libraries at the back are not too commercial, nor are they grand and tall. architecture, but I still feel that this should be the environment that the temple should have.

The moment you step into the temple, you seem to be cut off from the hustle and bustle outside; after stepping out of the temple, within five minutes, you are enveloped in noise again. As the old saying goes, there is Chang'an Temple, and Shenyang City is behind it. You can imagine its scale back then. The inscriptions in the temple contain the history of Chang'an Temple and the list of donors who renovated the temple. The history of a temple also rises and falls with the history of the country. , prosperity, decline, destruction, reconstruction. Overall, Chang'an Temple is not the most famous attraction in Shenyang, and it does not cover a large area, but it is a good place for me who wants to find history and tranquility while traveling. In addition, Chang'an Temple is very close to the Shenyang Forbidden City, so you can visit it together.

Shisheng Temple

The full name of Shisheng Temple is Lotus Pure Land Shisheng Temple. Shisheng Temple is a two-entry courtyard surrounded by a two-story blue brick wall. The main hall and Maha Kala Tower are the key buildings of the temple. Although the scale is small, Shisheng Temple holds traditional and lively temple fairs every Spring Festival, May Day, National Day and other holidays, attracting many tourists. But now I don't see the royal style at all, only a little nobility. However, it is not easy to maintain a dignity in the surrounding buildings.

Shisheng Temple was built under the orders of Emperor Taizong Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty. It became the only royal Zen forest in the entire Northeast, so Shenyang people affectionately called it "Huang Temple". Shisheng Temple itself is free of charge, but there is a fee for burning incense; Shenyang Shisheng Temple has extremely high standards. It is said that if the glazed tiles here are damaged and replaced, they have to be purchased from Beijing. This is not a treatment that ordinary temples can enjoy. Of course, the lama is also a lama specially approved by the emperor.

Prajna Temple

Prajna Temple was built by a monk during the Kangxi period. The word Prajna is very appropriate as the name of the temple. It comes from Buddhist scriptures. The temple has a long history. Generally, a twelve-day Dharma assembly will be held continuously from the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month to the tenth day of the first lunar month of the new year. At that time, many pilgrims will go there to burn incense and worship Buddha. Prajna Temple is a place for people with faith. This place also carries the dreams of some girls when they go to work. If something goes wrong, they will always make an appointment with good friends and go to burn incense together in time for the festival. Will go too! This is a relatively large temple in Shenyang. Those who have faith in this aspect can go and worship.

The entire building in the temple is made of red doors, yellow walls and green tiles. The three-story main hall is towering, with painted pillars and carved beams. It is extremely magnificent! , free and open. This should be the legendary Eight Kings Temple. Anyway, there is also a statue of a Qing Dynasty noble inside, and some Buddhist classics are distributed for free. The most important thing is that it is very clean and suitable for relaxing on weekends. The tour can be completed in half an hour.

Big Buddha Temple

The ancient name of the Great Buddha Temple is "Baoan Temple". It was first built in the Tang Dynasty. The temple was a place for bhikshuni to practice. It is a two-entry courtyard and is surrounded by tall residential buildings. Below, there is a feeling of being hidden in the city. In addition, compared with the surrounding residential buildings, the gate of the Great Buddha Temple is small but solemn, low but extremely solemn. The Great Buddha Temple currently has buildings such as the Mountain Gate, the Heavenly King Hall, the Main Hall, and the East and West Side Halls. When you are in the Great Buddha Temple, you will feel that this temple is unique. The compact architectural layout adds a bit of humanistic atmosphere to the temple and lacks a few. Religious flavor.
