- History & Culture travel tip
- City center
It was built in the architectural style of the Quing Dinasty from 1658. The building system is very beautiful, although a little busy, there are both many monks and tourists.
You can't take photos inside the temple, but you can on the court and gardens, which are also wonderful. They also have a huge scripture collection of 7000 pieces, amazing!
Many of the Buddhist sutras and sculptures are the survivors of the Cultural Revolution.

Wuhan Nightlife
For an English speaking restaurant, try the Café Brussels. The food and drink is international, as well as an indoor brewery that produces over 600 liters a day. After dinner, take a walk down the street to the Soho’or, a great night club with Mandarin music. It’s quite the party about any day of the week and the dress is somewhat informal. There are many such places throughout Wuhan. [...]More travel tips you might be interested in
