Huilong Temple

Step into Huilong Temple and be transported to ancient China! This 1,000-year-old Buddhist sanctuary in Shenyang dazzles with Liao Dynasty architecture – crimson gates and upturned eaves frame the majestic Golden Buddha Hall. The ginkgo tree behind the temple paints the ground in gold each autumn, earning its fame as 'Shenyang's most Instagrammable spot'. Time your visit for morning chanting sessions when incense swirls through the courtyards, turning every breath into meditation.
