Step through the South Gate of Galan Temple and be transported to the Buddhist kingdom of Southern Dynasties. This 1,500-year-old sanctuary's gilded roof tiles shimmer under sunlight, while wind chimes dance on upturned eaves. The millennium-old ginkgo tree has witnessed centuries of devotion, and stone carvings whisper tales when Buddhism flourished here. Don't miss the Ming Dynasty Mahavira Hall - its timeless serenity lingers in every carved beam and incense swirl along the bluestone path.
