Da Ci En Temple Forest Park
#cherryblossom2024 🌸
🏩 Chongqing Internet celebrity check-in spot: Da En Temple, Jiangbei District, Da Ci En Temple Forest Park (East Gate).
If you like to take photos of ancient costumes, you can come here. The scenery is very beautiful, and you can see the sunset on it.
💡 It is recommended to go to the East Gate and South Gate, which are relatively far away. If you like to walk, you can enter Da Ci En Temple from the South Gate. The day and night are both beautiful, and you can choose a day with good weather during the day. Be sure to go with clear eyes!!
🕕 Time: At around 6:30 in the afternoon, you can squat down to the most beautiful sunset, and enjoy the coolness of autumn at 4:5 pm. In September and October, it will be very cool without mosquitoes. When the lights of Da'en Temple are on at night, at 00:00 pm, you can see the magnificent Da'en Temple, with dazzling lights, as if crossing time and space, making people feel like they are in a beautiful picture.
In addition, the red walls and green tiles of the Great Ci'en Temple are very easy to release. You can also see the brightly lit night scene of Chongqing from the top of the Great Ci'en Temple. The reason why we went to the Great Ci'en Temple on Zhongyuan Festival to take a beautiful picture of the moon is not always worth recommending.

Short walk up to the temple
We choose to enter on a side gate and walk out way up to the temple on the many stairs on the pathway. It was a nice workout.
After we visited the main attraction in the park, we wondered around a bit more and than took the most flat path to the entrance.
After we exited the park, there is an old style street, just starting from the park entrance. It is similar to Hongyadong. It has many restaurants and at the end there is a hotel.
To get to the park you can get public transport or dido/taxi/shared bikes.
Don't forget to bring your passport/ID card with you.

Hong'en Temple, Chongqing
Hong'en Temple sits a top a slow inclining hill, the beautiful example of Chinese architecture looks out over sweeping city scenes, with the river on one side and endless high rises and mountains on the other.
The surrounding Hong'ensi Parkland is a quiet get away from the busy city, with very little people wondering through the greenery. There are very few tourist spots in China that allow you to feel completely at one with nature whilst being central.
There are small stalls for snacks and drinks, but this isn't the normal Chinese destination, with tourist buses and ticketing booths, which is why I think it's impossibly unique.

Hong'en Temple Park, Chongqing.
Hong'en Temple Park is located on Longji Mountain on the north bank of the Jialing River in Jiangbei District. The park is a large area of mountain forest, with many osmanthus and ginkgo trees, making it very suitable for outdoor sports.

"Explore the mysteries of ancient temples and feel the tranquility and harmony of the soul - Hongen Temple in Chongqing".
Hongen Temple, located in Jiangbei District, Chongqing, is a long-established and magnificent Buddhist temple. I was fortunate to visit and had a deep experience. I personally recommend the night view🤩
As soon as I entered Hongen Temple, the first thing that caught my eye was the magnificent mountain gate, and the towering stone lions guarded the gate, giving a solemn and solemn feeling. After passing the mountain gate, it is the main building group in the temple, the most eye-catching of which is the Daxiong Hall. The Daxiong Hall is magnificent, and the solemn and solemn statue of Sakyamuni Buddha is enshrined in the hall, which makes people feel awe.
In Hongen Temple, I also visited the Tibetan Scripture Building, Bell Tower, Drum Tower and other buildings, and felt the profound Buddhist culture. The incense in the temple is endless, and the devout worship and blessings make me feel a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.
In addition to the temple buildings, the natural landscape around Hongen Temple is also refreshing. The temple is built on the mountain, with different seasons and different scenery. In spring, the flowers are in full bloom, in summer the green shade is lush, in autumn the golden tone, in winter the silver dress is plain, each season has different scenery, which makes people linger.
In general, the experience of Hongen Temple made me feel the charm of ancient Buddhist culture, and also made me appreciate the harmonious coexistence of nature and humanities. This trip purified my soul and filled my life with gratitude and hope. I hope everyone has the opportunity to go to Hongen Temple and feel this tranquility and harmony.

Find the tranquility and poetry lost in the hustle and bustle of the city!!!
"Hongen Temple: A Dazzling Gem in the Urban Green Heart"
Hongen Temple is like a quiet fairyland hidden in the hustle and bustle of the city.
Entering Hongen Temple Forest Park, you are greeted by lush trees. Hongen Pavilion stands quietly, and the elegant beauty of the antique building is breathtaking, and it is even more charming under the night light. The fragrance of osmanthus is permeated in the osmanthus forest. When the autumn wind blows, the falling flowers are colorful like golden rain.

Hongen Pavilion lighting time: Summer: 19:00-20:00; Winter 18:30-21:00 (The Hongen Pavilion is even more beautiful after lighting up!! It's very suitable for taking pictures!) Some people said that you need to prepare the original ID card to enter the Hongen Pavilion, but we all entered for free, it's better to be prepared!
2. It is recommended to go on a sunny day, standing in the pavilion, you can see the entire main city at a glance, unfortunately, we didn't take pictures because the fog was too heavy...
The Hongen Pavilion is very beautiful after lighting up at night! Go and check in with friends or someone you like, take beautiful scenery, and then have a wonderful mahjong game with good friends haha (p9 eighteen Arhats haha) Leave the beautiful memories of youth!

It's only January, and the red plums in Chongqing have bloomed!
🌟Highlights:
Chongqing's winter is particularly rich, and it's not impossible to enjoy red plums in the snow if there is another round of cooling!
Caiyun Lake Park has different colors in all four seasons. Soon it will be the season of blooming flowers, and you can encounter a garden full of cherry blossoms and red plums.
The red plum blossom period in Tieshanping is longer, and there are also rare white plums, green plums, etc. The characteristic Sichuan pepper chicken on the mountain is also a must-try.
The red plums in Hongen Temple are showing their branches. After a while, the begonia, early cherry blossoms will also bloom one after another🌸

A single photo has made this ancient building in Chongqing famous
Previously, a foreign photographer visited Chongqing and took a night view photo of Hongen Pavilion, which immediately made this ancient building famous in hundreds of countries around the world. Now, it is a must-visit place for everyone who travels to Chongqing. Let's talk about it briefly today.
Hongen Pavilion is located in Hongen Temple Forest Park in Jiangbei District. The whole building is a seven-story ancient-style pavilion with an altitude of 468 meters, surpassing the 437.5-meter 'One Tree in Nanshan' viewing platform, making it the highest viewing platform in Chongqing's main urban area. Hongen Temple Forest Park covers thousands of acres, with a rich variety of plants and various birds appearing from time to time. It is a beautiful place and a good place for Chongqing photographers to take bird photos.
As the highest viewing platform in the main urban area, after climbing the Hongen Pavilion, you can see the main cityscape such as Shimen Bridge and Guanyin Bridge. Especially at night, you can take in the vast city night view. Hongen Pavilion itself is famous for its night view, but it is also a good place to enjoy the city night view.
The architecture of Hongen Pavilion is also very beautiful, attracting many citizens to come and take photos every day, especially the ancient style photos are the most beautiful, you can try it~
Inside Hongen Temple, there is also the Chongqing Jiangbei District Library, which is a quaint and characteristic library with many books and beautiful scenery. You can visit it on the way; speaking of which, when you come to Hongen Pavilion, be sure to pay attention to the details. Remember to set the end point at the east gate, because the road from the east gate to Hongen Pavilion is very flat and not tiring to walk. But it's a lot harder to climb the stairs all the way from the west gate.
Ticket: None
Lighting time: 18:30

I remember that there was a Japanese photographer on the ins before shooting a group of scenery photos of Chongqing Magic Mountain City. Among them, there is a magical night view of ancient buildings, with distinct layers and strong atmosphere. This is one of Chongqings landmarks, Chongqing Jiangbei. Hong En Pavilion in Hong En Temple Park. Many photographers come to Chongqing to travel and come to the night to take pictures and punch cards. Hong En Temple is the full name of Hong En Temple Forest Park. It is located near the Maoer Stone Village in Guanyin Bridge Street, Jiangbei District on the north bank of the Jialing River. From the perspective of aerial photography, it seems that the park is very large, and it is second only to Central Park in the main city of Chongqing. However, although there is a temple in the name of Hong En Temple, it is not a temple. Just like Guanyin Bridge in Chongqing, there is no Guanyin and Xiaoqiao. It is just a park.
