About this place
Hidden deep in the forested folds of Nanshan, Chongqing's oldest Buddhist temple radiates a profound antiquity that feels completely sealed off from the city's electric noise.
Drifter says
"The real secret here isn't the architecture — it's the noon vegetarian meal. A few yuan gets you the exact same food the monks eat: simple, fresh, and unexpectedly satisfying. Beyond the sound of a broom and wind chimes, the place is completely silent. After the relentless intensity of the city, this is the most thorough reset you'll find anywhere."
