Qinglong Temple Museum

Step into the Qinglong Temple Ruins Museum and be transported to the golden age of Tang Dynasty Buddhism! As the birthplace of Chinese Esoteric Buddhism and the root of Japan's Shingon sect, its historical significance is unparalleled. Marvel at the 1,300-year-old underground palace ruins juxtaposed with meticulously reconstructed halls, or visit during cherry blossom season when the temple transforms into a pink wonderland—don't forget your camera for that perfect shot of ancient architecture framed by blossoms. The gleaming Tang Dynasty ritual artifacts in the exhibition hall will leave you in awe of ancient craftsmanship.
