In spring, it is fitting to pray for blessings at the 1600-year-old cat temple for a cyber prayer session

🌿When people talk about tourist attractions in Xi'an, many visitors will first think of the Terracotta Warriors, Bell Tower, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, etc., but Daxingshan Temple is rarely mentioned😏 🌿In fact, the location of 'Daxingshan Temple' is very convenient, right near the 'Xiaozhai'🚇 subway station, not far from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda or the Small Wild Goose Pagoda. The area around 'Xiaozhai'🚇 subway station is the most bustling and lively place in Xi'an nowadays. Despite being in the busiest and most lively area of Xi'an, it is not very well-known, and not many tourists know about it, making it a rather 'low-key' tourist spot🥳. 【Gālán Can Worship】 Time: Every day at noon, 12 o'clock Starting point: Dharma Hall Duration: About half an hour Tickets: Free admission without reservation ✔️You can follow the temple staff to worship in all halls. 【Animal-Friendly Temple】 🐱Besides its long history and thriving incense, Daxingshan Temple also has a cute nickname—'Cat Temple'. Daxingshan Temple feeds many little stray cats, adding a touch of cuteness to the originally solemn temple. Some even call Daxingshan Temple a 'large cat café'😋 🍃In addition to the beloved cats, the temple's pigeons and turtles🐢 are also very popular with the worshippers.
