Nanjing hongji tour guide

Nanjing Dahongzhi is known as the best aesthetic temple, where a series of cool photo modes can be carried out, which is not only full of antique history, but also has unprecedented connotation and temperament. Here, I would like to share with you a detailed tour guide and introduction.

First, the predecessor of Dashunzhi.

Dahongji site

First of all, let's talk about the impression of Da Hongzhi in the minds of Nanjing people, that is, it only exists in history books, because it has been a pile of ruins for a long time, but when it comes to its history, people have to open their mouths. As a native of Nanjing, I feel extremely proud and proud.

The best in town.

Dahongzhi Temple is the oldest Buddhist temple in China. Its predecessor was Jianchu Temple ordered by Sun Quan, Emperor of Soochow.

It is also the first Buddhist temple established in southern China, and was once the center of Buddhism in China.

Ming Chengzu Judy

In fact, these are nothing. It was the Ming emperor Judy who really made He Shibi famous in the world. If you have read my previous articles, you will find that I have said many times that Nanjing is called "the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties" and "the city of the Ten Dynasties", and these six dynasties, Wu Dong, Song, Qi, Liang and Chen, are all in Nanjing, which is called "the Six Dynasties"; It is also known as the "Ten Dynasties" with the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Early Ming Dynasty, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Republic of China, among which the most brilliant is the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty established its capital in Nanjing for only 53 years, and then Judy, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, moved to Beijing.

Zheng He's voyage to the West was during the reign of the Ming Dynasty.

However, all this does not affect the thick brushwork left by the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing, and Dahongzhi is one of the most outstanding ones.

So, how did the great Hoonji we are familiar with come from?

It is said that the Ming Emperor Judy was not from Ma Huanghou, but was born to Chen Youliang's beloved princess. Judy has never been able to repay her mother's kindness, so when he became emperor, he built such a temple to repay her kindness.

How spectacular and brilliant was Hoonji at that time?

It is said that at the time of construction, the whole temple was built in full accordance with the standards of the palace, which can be described as splendid day and night.

Unfortunately, during the war in the late Qing Dynasty, Dahongzhi was burned to the ground, and it was not until 20 12 that it was rebuilt on the original site.

The rebuilt interior of Dahongji.

After the reconstruction, Dashunzhi attracted countless tourists from home and abroad for sightseeing with its "prosperous and beautiful clothes".

Maybe you can Baidu the introduction of Hoonji for free, but how to visit the scenic spots? See what? You still need professional tourists to explain it to you. So, dear friends, don't fall behind. Our spring trip is about to begin.

Second, how to visit the great Hongzhi indoors?

Entrance gate, security check

Tickets for Hoonji can be purchased online, and the preferential policies will not be detailed one by one at different prices (Nanjing Annual Card is free.

The front glass area is the entrance.

Dahongzhi should be the most suitable scenic spot in summer, because the whole scenic spot is actually divided into two parts, one is indoor and the other is outdoor.

Indoor display is mainly Buddhist culture and site display; Outside is the Great Hoonji Pagoda.

Why is it best for summer sightseeing? Because most of the places visited are indoors and have air conditioning.

Note: If you are interested in visiting Hoonji, be sure to collect my travel tips, so that when you get to the scenic spot, take out the tips and follow them, and you won't get lost.

After entering the gate, there is a tablet pavilion on the left and right.

corridor

After entering the hall, go left. After that, it's easy. There are signs indicating the direction of the visit. Hoonji's entire exhibition hall is rectangular, so the direction of the tour is to walk around the rectangle. Is it understandable to introduce it in such a refined way? The last exit is on the right.

Arch of Hongji Glass Tower

This is a grand introduction. Shunzhi is not famous for its temples, but for its glass towers.

Under the rule of Judy, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He went to the West, and Hu Ji and other countries came to North Korea. The prosperity of the Ming dynasty was also written into the travel notes of western envoys and brought back to Europe. Andersen, a very famous Danish writer, is no stranger to everyone. However, Andersen's famous fairy tales have been accompanied by many people's childhood. Emperor's New Clothes, Daughter of the Sea, Ugly Duckling, etc. It still seems to be in our ears. One of them is Paradise Garden, which describes: I just came from China, danced around the porcelain tower for a while, and made all the clocks.

This tower was the Dahongzhi Glass Tower outside Nanjing at that time!

The arch in front of us is a replica of the colored glass tower arch in Shunzhi at that time. Have you seen National Treasure Season 1? Amanda, a famous movie star, brought the great Hutchison Glass Tower into the sight of China people.

The whole indoor tour is exquisitely carved, far from being photographed by a camera. The whole visit time is about 1.5 to 2 hours.

There are photos of Hanfu at the entrance, as well as Buddhist scriptures, amusement and cafes. But some of them were closed because of the epidemic.

3. How to visit the Great Hoonji Pagoda?

Great Hoonji Pagoda

At the end, you will find a door next to you to go out. This is the Great Baoen Temple Pagoda, but it is not the "Glass Pagoda" of that year.

In those days, the whole glazed pagoda was made of glazed pottery. In addition, it has many best things in China and the world:

The great Hongzhi glass tower was the tallest building in China until it was destroyed by the war in the late Qing Dynasty.

The great Hongji glass tower can be called "the miracle in the history of world architecture".

The great Huenji glass tower is called "the seven wonders of the medieval world".

The great Hongji glass tower was even regarded by westerners at that time as a "landmark building representing China".

Honghu Glass Tower has the reputation of "China antique and Yongle kiln", and is called "the first tower in the world" and so on.

All the above descriptions have amazed us modern people, but the "first tower in the world" has disappeared in the dust of history. Today's "glass tower" is not as luxurious as before, but it is full of modern "design sense". The bell in the corner, swaying in the wind, jingled, as if we had traveled through time and space and saw the "Ming Dynasty".

How to visit the Dabaoen Temple Pagoda?

The first floor is the underground palace. After the visit, take the outside steps to the second floor. There is an elevator to the top floor, but if you want to visit one floor at a time, you must climb the stairs by yourself.

After the visit, you can take photos in the yard or go back to the door to move on.

The underground palace is on the first floor.
