About this place

A historically and architecturally distinctive Buddhist temple that merges traditional Chinese temple layout with Western arched windows and stone columns, sitting quietly right at the water's edge.

Drifter says

"Finding a temple this close to the riverbank is genuinely rare. The atmosphere inside is deep and still, a complete contrast to the busy Nanbin Road just outside. Don't miss the massive stone lion at the river's edge — it has been standing guard against the Yangtze's floods for over a century."
