The South Gate of Kaiyuan Temple is a sacred Buddhist site in Yangzhou, where Tang Dynasty architecture shines through vermilion walls and intricate dougong brackets. At dusk, golden light bathes the gate as wind chimes sing from upturned eaves - pure time-travel magic! Don't miss rubbing the ancient ginkgo tree trunk; locals swear it brings blessings. Pro tip: Hunt for hidden vegetarian cafes nearby and greet monks with a 'Ni hao' Yangzhou-style!
