Taiping Buddhist Temple (South Gate)

Step through the South Gate of Taiping Temple and be embraced by the solemn aura of this thousand-year-old monastery! The vermilion walls and golden tiles glow under sunlight, while upturned eaves showcase classic Tang-Song architecture. As Nantong's most vibrant Buddhist sanctuary, it houses treasures like the Ming Dynasty ginkgo tree and an awe-inspiring 500 Arhats Hall. Don't miss the morning chanting sessions – a living echo of China's ancient '480 Southern Dynasty temples' legacy.
