There is a Leaning Tower of the East hidden in Chengdu’s Xindu District. I heard it is very effective.

In addition to Wenshu Monastery, Daci Temple and Zhaojue Temple, there is also a place that the locals believe in. Those who are suffering from post-holiday difficulties, obsessed with the stock market, anxious about studying, praying for various things... why not go to Baoguang Temple for a walk? The Fragrant City is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus, and you will feel full of happiness. Sometimes it is true that man can conquer nature, but we might as well believe in the principle of adding icing on the cake and providing timely help. As a thousand-year-old Zen temple surrounded by greenery and filled with the fragrance of osmanthus, it is full of oriental aesthetics. The red walls, green leaves and yellow flowers are especially suitable for ancient style photography. Of course, everyone who has been here says it is very effective. - I also received free incense, touched the blessing, walked around the pagoda three times, and counted the Arhats, hoping to bring good luck🙏 The following are the tips for the temple walk that are passed down by word of mouth: 1. When you come to Baoguang Temple, you must experience three folk customs: touch the word "Fu", count the Arhats, and pray for good fortune. ✅There is a big blessing at the door that you must touch. Step back five meters, close your eyes and walk forward. If you can touch it, it means you will be blessed this year! ✅After entering the temple, you can get free incense and pray for blessings. ✅The Arhat Hall of Baoguang Temple is very famous. There are more than 500 Arhats in total. It is said that the most spiritual is to count the Arhats. The importance of counting Arhats: 1. After entering the door, follow the order of men on the left and women on the right, and randomly choose an Arhat who you like to start counting. You can count forwards or backwards. You must pay attention to the first... The Venerable is the Arhat, and the Zen Master does not count. The number is your current age + 1, which is your age in lunar years. 2. Count the number of the Arhat statue you see and remember it. You can go to the entrance and spend 10 yuan to exchange for an Arhat card, which will show your fortune for the year. 3. If you are confused or need a detailed interpretation, you can spend 30 yuan to ask the monk at the door to help you interpret the fortune! 📍Address: Xindu Baoguang Temple ⏱️Time: 8:00-17:30 🎫Ticket price: 5 yuan 🙏Incense: You can get 3 sticks for free at the door 🅿️Parking: There is a parking lot at the South Gate 🚇Transportation: Get off at Zhonglou Station on Line 3, and take a taxi for the starting price Self-driving: about 40 minutes It is especially recommended to go to Xindu in this season. The whole city is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus and there are many good restaurants and shopping opportunities. Guihu Park is full of osmanthus flowers, which can heal all unhappiness. Food recommendations: Wu Daozhen Potatoes (Closed on Thursdays) Diao Ji Steamed Beef Zhongji Rabbit Head .
