[2025 Nanning Attraction] Travel Guide for Guanyinchan Temple (Updated May)

#Overseas travel #China #Manshu Guanyin Temple Gwaneumseonsa Temple, named after the legend that Bodhisattva Guanyin appeared many times, was first built during the Northern Song Dynasty, but was rebuilt repeatedly to imitate the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty, eventually reaching its current appearance. The magnificent Daeungjeon Hall and the circular tower-like structure in front of it allow you to gauge the scale of this temple, and are also the first reason many tourists visit here. There are magnificent Buddhist murals and Buddha statues boasting massive weight inside, so take your time looking around and feel the scale of the temple.

#Overseas travel #China #Wanshui Guanyin Temple There are over 50 individual tourist attractions in Nanning's Qingxiu Mountain Scenic Area, but the best of them is probably this Wanshui Guanyin Temple. Guanyin Temple was first built during the Northern Song Dynasty and has a history of about 1,000 years. It is said that it has changed several times over time, and in the 2000s, it underwent large-scale expansion work to become the magnificent and large-scale temple it is today, but I also wonder how it has maintained its past appearance.

#Overseas travel #China #Manshui Guanyin Temple Manshui Guanyin Temple, located in the Qingxiu Mountain Scenic Area in Nanning, China, is the largest temple in the Guangxi region, and since Qingxiu Mountain is in the heart of Nanning, it is also very close. It is a paid temple, but it is a place where even those with limited walking skills can easily visit because it operates a shuttle bus. Although it is a large temple, there are many charming points of interest around the temple, so it would be better to walk slowly and look for small beauties. However, it is essential to be quiet in the temple and be careful when taking pictures..!!!

🔴We recommend the West Gate, as it has subway access and is easily accessible.🚝 🟠The North Gate is the second best option. Although it doesn't have a subway station, it is close to shopping malls, so you can use ride-sharing services or walk (it's a bit of a distance, so choose carefully). 🏝[West Gate] 1. Enter from the West Gate and exit from the North Gate📝 ①After entering the West Gate, walk through Zhuangjin Square and Tonggu Music Stage, and follow the signs to Youyi Corridor. ②Youyi Corridor (planted with many green plants, including the Baohua Magnolia tree). ③Walk to the ASEAN Friendship Garden (flower exhibitions are often held here). ④After passing through the Friendship Garden, follow the signs to the Guangxi Student Soldier Memorial. There will be a ticket office on the way where you can buy a bus ticket (tickets are one-way only and become invalid after you get off the bus. You need to buy a new ticket for the next ride). ⑤Guanyin Zen Temple (there is an observation deck overlooking Nanning City). ⑥Take the bus to the North Gate. ⑦Walk to the Orchid Garden. ⑧Afterward, follow the signs to the Shade Plant Garden (a popular spot for photos with the green spheres). ⑨After taking photos, return the same way and exit from the North Gate. (Or, if you want to return to the West Gate, you can take the sightseeing bus back to the West Gate). 2. Enter and exit from the West Gate🚶‍♀️ The initial itinerary is the same as above. ①Walk from Guanyin Zen Temple to Huanshan Xiuping (open the navigation and follow the walking route to Huanshan Xiuping, 1 km). ③Walk from Huanshan Xiuping to Buyun Gate (380 m), where you can climb the Longxiang Pagoda to overlook the Yong River. ④After coming down, you can take the bus back to the West Gate. 🗺[North Gate] and [East Gate] Route guidance: It is best to take a taxi directly to the North Gate. If you take the subway, you can only go to Mixc. Although the Mixc station is on a straight line to the North Gate of Qingxiu Mountain, the straight-line distance is 2 km, which is quite a long walk. If you can ride a bike, you can take the subway to Mixc and then scan a shared bike to the North Gate. 🎈Tips: If you want to go to the East Gate, you can only take the mini-train from the North Gate. You can't go directly to the East Gate from the West Gate. You also need to go to the North Gate first and then transfer to the mini-train. 🔴So, if you want to go to the East Gate, you can start from the North Gate. The East Gate is relatively far, with no subway access, and taking a taxi will also be a long ride. However, there are more flowers there, so if you want to go, it is recommended to go from the North Gate. [Main attractions at the East Gate] Mainly various gardens: Leaf Garden, Aquatic Garden, Yellow Bellflower Garden, Rock Garden, Bean Pear Garden, Cherry Blossom Garden, Bamboo Garden, and Plum Garden. [Main attractions at the North Gate] Orchid Garden, Shade Plant Garden, and Sweet Osmanthus Garden

I was passing through Nanning on a trip and only had half a day. I searched and went to Qingxiu Mountain on a whim. I happened to encounter a lantern festival (unexpectedly beautiful), and I also unexpectedly discovered the 'Tree of Life', which is very similar to the 'Tree of Sorrow'. As a fan of the Fox Demon Little Matchmaker, I was thrilled! I wish more destined people can continue their fate on Valentine's Day! Qingxiu Mountain is worth a visit, and there is also Guanyin Zen Temple, which is said to be very effective, you can go and see~ 🌟🌟I entered the park after three o'clock in the afternoon. The extreme operation of a quick tour + watching the lights is: Enter from the north gate, take a few steps to see the shade plant garden, then take a sightseeing car (5 yuan/person, not a small train) to Guanyin Zen Temple. After the visit, you can check in at the Fearless Coffee Shop at the entrance. Then walk towards Taohuawu to the third viewing platform to see the ancient and modern crossover, then return to Guanyin Zen Temple by sightseeing car to finish the remaining important scenic spots and return to the north gate, then go to the nearby Orchid Garden to take a small train to the east gate to see the aquatic garden and Monet, as well as the lantern festival (The sightseeing car stops at 6 o'clock, considering the time for queuing and the fast darkness, it is recommended not to queue for the sightseeing car back to the north gate from Guanyin Zen Temple later than 5:15. The small train from the north gate to the east gate is very fast). PS: I walked directly from Guanyin Zen Temple to the north gate because there were too many people on the sightseeing car, and the staff suggested that I walk by myself. Walking is a bit tiring but acceptable, the scenery is okay, some places are even secluded, everyone can choose according to their own time~
