Chijian Jingci Temple (North Gate)

Step into Jingci Temple's North Gate and be embraced by the serenity of this 1,000-year-old Zen sanctuary! Nestled along Nanshan Road, it's a perfect twin visit with Leifeng Pagoda just across the way. Don't miss the temple's iconic Evening Bell at Nanping - one of West Lake's Ten Scenes, where sunset transforms ancient eaves into golden poetry. Pro tip: Try the temple's vegetarian cuisine for a mindful culinary experience that'll make your soul (and taste buds) sing!
