Dinglin Temple (North Gate)

Step through the North Gate of Dinglin Temple and be transported to Nanjing's ancient glory. This 1,500-year-old Buddhist gem hides a legendary ginkgo tree that turns into a golden waterfall every autumn! The Ming-style gatehouse with intricate stone carvings makes perfect backdrop for Hanfu photos. Come at dawn to hear monks' chanting echoing under tiled eaves – it's like time-traveling to the '480 Temples of Southern Dynasties' era.
