Step into Daming Temple, where serenity meets history in Yangzhou. This 1,500-year-old Buddhist gem boasts the Qiling Pagoda with panoramic city views, Pingshan Hall where poet Ouyang Xiu once contemplated, and the Jianzhen Memorial Hall honoring the monk who brought Buddhism to Japan. Pro tip: Visit on a drizzly day when mist wraps the temple in poetic tranquility.
