Yaqing Temple: Island and Repair

Yaqing Temple is a must-visit stop in the Daughter's Buddha Kingdom. One day, between Juemu Island and the Xiuxing Institute, encounter the unique atmosphere of Yaqing Temple.

The first impression of Yaqing Temple almost always comes from Juem Island. When it actually appears before your eyes, the imagination in the pictures suddenly gains weight, and the journey officially begins from that moment.

When it comes to Yaqing Temple, locals usually mention the ascetic academy first. Only after experiencing it do you realize that a landmark is never an isolated landscape, but the entrance to an entire segment of life.

Changtai hides another side of Yaqing Temple. With less crowd from tourists and more daily warmth, you suddenly feel like you've briefly become one of these people.

If you have the energy, go for a stroll along the Jinsha River. There's no standard answer there, only your own pace, which fits your itinerary just right.

Yaqing Temple taught me one thing: you don't have to chase every sight, just as Koh Juem taught me—the best scenery is always where you're willing to stop and look at it carefully.
