Changzhou Tianning Temple – A Must-Visit Attraction
With a history that dates back to the Western Zhou dynasty, Changzhou is over 3,000 Years Old. Scenic for its location along the Yangtze River, this city is nicknamed the ‘Dragon Town’. Popular attractions in the city include the China Dinosaur Park, which boasts a large collection of dinosaur bones and fossils from across China, Bamboo Comb Lane, Hong Mei Park, Wei Yuan and Changzhou Tianning Temple.
The Changzhou Tianning Temple has been around for over a thousand years, and even today many believers frequent this age old site to partake in rituals. Dedicated to the Chinese Chan Buddhist doctrine many believers and tourist flock to the temple to get a glimpse of its ornate beauty and partake in its spirituality. Considered to be a popular attraction, the temple overlooks the Jing-Hang Canal, and is just outside the East Gate of Changzhou. Also operating as a monastery, the Changzhou Tianning Temple is made up of 33 Buddhist halls, 24 pavilions and 497 rooms.
An astonishing weight of 68, 038 kg in brass and gold has been used for the rooftops of the pagoda. Jade and bronze decorations can also be seen, enhancing the overall beauty of the temple. Yet another highlight is the large bronze bell that weighs 30,000 kg in the top most floor of the pagoda.
The tallest wooden pagoda in the world is also said to reside in this wonderful attraction that stands at a height of 154 meters (13 stories high). The Heavenly Kings Palace is said to be one of the most beautiful halls in the country which is adorned with ancient inscriptions and Buddhist statues. In the Arhat Hall, a visitor will come across the 500 sages who are featured in life like form and covered in gold leaf. The Precious Hall of the Great Hero is where the visitor will find the largest hall in the complex, and three statues of the Lord Buddha, Bhaishajyaguru, Amitabha and Shakyamuni.
Be inspired by this wonderful attraction and explore the rest of the city from a centrally located Changzhou hotel. Traders Fudu Hotel Changzhou offers spacious Changzhou hotel accommodation to cater to the needs of both the leisure and business traveller.
