Step into Baota Temple and instantly escape the city's hustle. This thousand-year-old sanctuary in Changzhou is famed for its majestic pagodas and serene Zen ambiance, where tiered eaves paint poetic silhouettes against the sky. Come at dawn to hear temple bells reverberate as the first light gilds the golden spire—time seems to crystallize in these luminous moments. Ancient trees and incense swirl around hidden gems like a secret lotus pond behind the hills, where summer transforms the space into a photographer's paradise with zen harmony and floral perfume.
