Gude Temple

There are very few tourists, and it can be said to be a truly peaceful Buddhist place. For tourists who like quietness and are interested in architecture, it is a place not to be missed.

It is free in itself, but you need to buy 8 yuan of incense money. 8 yuan is the lowest grade which only has three sticks. The quality of incense varies with the price.

There weren't many people coming and it was quite deserted, but the architectural style was indeed unique. It was the first time I saw such a good mix of styles. You said it was originally a temple, but from the outside it looks like a European castle building.

This place is really suitable for filming blockbusters

This is also the place that looks least like a scenic spot I have ever seen. Most of it is still under construction.

If you are interested in architecture, this place is worth a visit. When we went there, a Buddhist ceremony was going on.

Buddhism was originally introduced from foreign countries, but it has been so long that it has been completely integrated into the local culture. We are used to Chinese-style temple architecture, which has also influenced the architectural style of Buddhist temples in neighboring countries such as Japan. I don’t know what the considerations were when this temple was built. It is said that this is the only architectural style in the country that imitates India, Burma, and combines Chinese and Western styles. Someone happened to drive in. I don’t know if it was to consecrate the car or to pray for the people in the car. The nuns stood next to the car and chanted Buddhist scriptures one after another. Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam all have chanting, which shows that chanting does have the power to purify the soul.

This Romanesque building is quietly located next to an art high school. The gate is mottled and may not be noticed if you don't pay attention. The Western bricks, tiles and painted beams carry the Eastern religious wishes. You can say it is weird, or you can say it is harmonious and romantic.

The pigeons in the temple are all fat for some reason! This shows that being a vegetarian cannot help you lose weight.

▲Coordinates: Gude Temple is a temple hidden in the urban area of Hankou

▲Recommendation: The most anticipated thing for this trip to Wuhan is to visit Gude Temple. Although the weather was not good and it was raining, it was very difficult to take pictures. However, after experiencing Gude Temple under the cloudy sky, I felt a sense of tranquility.

The architecture of Gude Temple is completely different from traditional Buddhist architecture. It is a combination of Gothic Christian churches, Roman Catholic churches, Byzantine Orthodox churches, Islamic mosques, etc. There are only two Gude Temples in China, and the other one is in Tibet.

▲Service: The ticket price is 8 yuan for incense.

Wuhan Gude Temple is located in the middle section of Gongnongbing Road. It was built in 1877 and was originally named "Gude Thatched Hut". In 1914, Li Yuanhong personally inscribed the name of the temple on a vertical board "Gude Temple". Gude Temple is one of the four major Buddhist monasteries in Wuhan. The architecture in the temple integrates the characteristics of Eurasian religious architecture. The Yuantong Hall is the core building, which adopts a frame system. There are 9 pagodas on the top of the hall, symbolizing the five Buddhas and four Bodhisattvas of Han Buddhism, which is also similar to the mandala layout of Tibetan Buddhism. The pointed arch windows and rose windows on the exterior walls are similar to European Gothic churches. The columns of the outer corridors are inspired by the Ionic columns and Corinthian columns of ancient Greek temples. The arches of the gates have the style of Islamic mosques. The reliefs of lion heads and elephant heads on the main wall are derived from the Panava style of South India and Southeast Asia. The Heavenly King Hall is in traditional Chinese style, with white walls and black tiles, stone gates, and horse head walls. In addition, there is also the Guanyin Hall with Southeast Asian religious architectural style built in 2011, as well as the Thai Four-Faced Buddha in the middle of the square.

Entering the temple, more than a hundred pigeons are leisurely strolling or flying in the square. The Guanyin Hall on the left side of the square is a "film-making" scenic spot. Its corridors are designed in a staggered manner and are full of Southeast Asian religious architectural style. The Yuantong Hall integrates the characteristics of Eurasian religious architecture, such as Islamic-style arched petal tickets, glass windows similar to European Gothic churches, Ionic columns and Corinthian columns borrowed from ancient Greek temples, etc. It cleverly integrates the three major Buddhist schools of Mahayana, Hinayana, and Tibetan Buddhism, and is a typical architecture of the Sinicization of Buddhism. In Gude Temple, you can also see the Thai Four-Faced Buddha placed in the middle of the square, as well as the exquisite small lotus pond in front of the Guanyin Hall, the stone sculpture of the little monk beside the flower bed, and the grapefruit and persimmon trees with fruits. Each place is full of Zen and fun.

When a European church is mixed with a Burmese pagoda and then collides with a Taoist temple on Mount Wudang, Wuhan Gude Temple has proved with practical actions that in the field of mixed-style architecture, we are playing the riverside version! A very different temple, you must go and see it

The reason we came here is because of the uniqueness of this temple architecture. It is different from other traditional temple structures we have seen. It is a mixture of European and Asian religious architecture features.

The entire temple was built according to the artistic style of the Alanta Temple in Myanmar. The main building is the Yuantong Hall, which also uses the structure of ancient Roman architecture. In the circular corridor between the inner and outer walls of the hall and the many square columns, you can vaguely see the charm of Greek temples. In the round windows and long windows on the facade, you can see the architectural style of Christian churches.

Gude Temple is the second place I want to visit compared to the Provincial Museum. What attracts me most is probably the unique architectural style. It's a pity that residential buildings have been built around the ancient buildings. I hope they don't affect the buildings themselves.

A famous temple in Wuhan, the South Asian architectural style makes this temple unique. The Buddha statues in the main hall are very exquisite, and the corridors are full of various architectural elements. On the surface, it looks like an Indian mosque, but its actual function is a Buddhist building. It is really a mixed building.

The reason why Goode Temple is a popular photo-taking spot for internet celebrities is mainly because of the construction styles of the two buildings in the temple. If you take a photo of one building and post it on your Moments, others will think you have been to Southeast Asia, and if you take a photo of the other building, others will think you have been to Europe. In fact, you are in the Goode Temple in Wuhan.

The national flag is flying in the square at the entrance, so I thought it was a public institution.

When I walked in, I thought it was a church.

I was stunned by the "Awakening Tower" with a cross on it. It was like traveling back to the Crusades.

In the end it turned out to be a Buddhist temple.

It's even more bizarre than the Hebei Academy of Fine Arts...

The architecture of Gude Temple is very special. The place is not big, the number of tourists is OK, there are many photo spots, and it is beautiful from all angles. You can enter by buying an 8 yuan incense voucher.

The most "characteristic" temple in Wuhan!

There is only one in the country, do you want to go?

It has a green smell, including the statues, which are a bit cartoony, so I don't like it. There are so many people.

It is rare to see such a pure Indian temple, hidden in the hustle and bustle of Wuhan

There is no entrance fee, but you need to buy incense coupons. The price of the incense coupons is 8 yuan, which gives you three incense sticks. I feel that this is equivalent to an entrance fee.

If you take the bus, the map navigation will ask you to climb a small slope after getting off the bus. The road around the small slope is difficult to walk on due to the demolition. Don't doubt the navigation. Climb up the slope and go through the alley, and you will arrive at the Gude Temple.

Gude Temple, a temple full of exotic style, was built during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. It was later expanded twice and renamed Gude Temple.

Compared with the Guiyuan Temple I just visited, Gude Temple is less noisy and more mysterious.

I accidentally discovered that there were quite a few pigeons in the temple. Luckily, I had bread in my bag, so I started feeding and photographing the pigeons. Hehe (#^.^#)

The Gude Temple is not big, but the architecture is very distinctive and beautiful.

The Good Temple is actually very distinctive. It has ancient Roman architectural style, with a circular corridor and many square columns between the inner and outer walls, as well as round windows and long windows like those in Christian churches.

Very good, I recommend you to go there if you have time.

At Gude Temple, the pigeons are all fat and big-eared, and they are not afraid of people, making them a good helper for taking photos.

The temple was built in the style of Ananda Temple in Myanmar, which means "the heart loves the ancient and the universal virtue". It is a temple with a strong exotic architectural style. It is the only Buddhist building of this style in Chinese Buddhism and one of the only two in the world. It has important religious, architectural and cultural historical values. Gude Temple is built in a residential area with high-rise buildings on all sides. Unlike ordinary temples, Gude Temple is more like a church. You need to pay 8 yuan for incense to enter the door, and you can buy three incense sticks.

The entrance of the temple is really ordinary and totally out of place with the buildings inside.

There is no entrance fee to Gude Temple, but you need to buy incense. The cheapest one is 8 yuan.

Hidden between high-rise buildings, it was difficult to avoid the adjacent buildings when taking photos, as the two were too close. It was scorching hot when I went there, and there was a large open space with nowhere to hide, as if the air was burning. I quickly hid in the building, and after the tour, I rested in the corridor. There were many plump pigeons walking in the courtyard.

The ticket price is 8 yuan, the style is very unique, it is worth a visit if you have time~

Very special temple🏯! Unfortunately, there is a high-rise residential area behind it, so it seems a bit strange to take pictures~ There are not many people in the morning, very quiet~ A ticket at the door is 8 yuan, and you will be given three incense sticks.

The temple has a unique style, combining Chinese and Western styles, it is worth visiting!

A rare Buddhist temple style, the legendary Nalanda Temple. Unfortunately it is too small, and the surrounding environmental protection is also a mess

Gude Temple is not very big, but the architecture inside is very distinctive, mixing the characteristics of European and Asian religious architecture. It uses the structure of ancient Roman architecture, the circular corridor between the inner and outer walls and many square columns, and the round windows and long windows on the facade walls, which are the architectural style of Christian churches. The tops of its nine pagodas look like both weather vanes and crosses, which is unique in Chinese pagoda culture.

Most people go to Gude Temple because of its unique architecture! I don't know why it has been under renovation for so long, giving people a slightly decadent feeling, and the incense is not strong. I remember that there seemed to be three buildings, not big, and the second floor was closed. It is more like a church than a temple. I went there in October, and the lotus leaves were a little withered. There were few people burning incense, and no incense money was collected at the entrance. Maybe it was voluntary! In one of the buildings, there are three tall and golden Buddha statues, which make people feel awe. The most impressive thing that I have not seen in other temples is that Gude Temple has a large room similar to a reading room. On each seat is a copy of the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra", which says "Give it as a gift". This ancient temple with exotic architectural style is surrounded by modern high-rise buildings, which always feels a bit out of place.

There is no entrance fee to Gude Temple. 8 yuan is the minimum incense fee, and each person can get three incense sticks for free.

Travel suggestions: The light and shadow design of the Yuantong Hall has attracted many photographers to take pictures here. The light and shadow inside the building change endlessly from morning to night. The best time to watch and take pictures is when the sun sets.

Climb up to the second floor of the Heavenly King Hall, which is the best place in the temple to take panoramic photos of the Yuantong Hall.

At 11:30 in the morning, I happened to see monks in the temple chanting sutras and walking towards the Heavenly King Hall.

Buddhist clothing and exotic architecture are a wonderful combination.

At first glance, the roof of the Yuantong Hall appears to be European style, but upon closer inspection, one can see that it is covered with exquisite Buddha sculptures.

The corridors and columns of the Greek temple and the garden windows of the Christian church are perfect places for photography. In the early morning or evening, the light shines through the round windows (Tyndall phenomenon, hahaha), which is even more beautiful.

Explore the colorful world through the round window.

There were many photographers taking photos at noon. My companion in cheongsam was pulled by a portrait photographer to take photos, so I took photos of the small animals in the temple by myself.

There were flocks of pigeons in the square inside the temple, each one walking very fast on its little feet.

There are many flowers, plants and trees planted in the temple, and butterflies can often be seen foraging among the flowers.

The entire temple is located in a high-rise building, but it retains the quiet and elegant atmosphere that is loved by both humans and animals.

The main entrance is a bit messy as it is currently in the demolition and evacuation stage. The temple does not charge admission, but you need to buy incense to enter the temple. There are three prices: 8, 15, and 38 yuan. The only difference is the variety of incense, and the smallest one is 8 yuan.

No tickets are sold, but you have to pay for incense, 8 yuan per person. The temple architecture is quite special, using the ancient Roman architectural style, it is worth a visit

The first gate is a bit... The second gate is still a bit... There is a sense of time travel inside, with slightly mottled exterior walls and the lotus in front of the temple in full bloom. You can go up to the second floor of the temple to take a panoramic view. The temple is built layer by layer and is also very distinctive.

There are already high-rise buildings to the north of Gude Temple, and the street to the south is also going to be demolished. Maybe next time I come to Gude Temple, I will really be surrounded by high-rise buildings. . .

As soon as you enter, you will see a large open space with European-style buildings on both sides. People who don’t know will not associate it with a Buddhist temple. On the right side is a two-faced Buddha, which is a more iconic scene seen in the introduction of China-TravelNote~

There is a Buddhist temple behind the house. Don't be fooled by the fact that there are not many people there. In fact, there are some spectacular Buddha statues in this temple. Even my friend who often goes to Nanhai says that the Buddha statues here are pretty good.

There is a lotus pond next to the building on the left. What impressed me most was the Thousand-armed Guanyin statue inside.

It happened to be Buddha's birthday, so there were many flowers and tributes. It's not as grand as usual. The building on the left doesn't look impressive up close, but from a distance, you can see that it has several floors and looks like a residential area.

It means "to be kind to the ancients and to save the world with virtue", a quiet place in the bustling city!

I was about to leave Wuhan on the day I went to Gude Temple. I was honored to visit Gude Temple before leaving this familiar yet unfamiliar city. As the final stop of my trip, Gude Temple greatly exceeded my expectations. There were not few people but it was very quiet.

The place is not big! It is indeed unique in China!

Gude Temple is a rather unique temple in China. It was built during the reign of Emperor Guangxu in the late Qing Dynasty, so its architectural features are really influenced by Western architecture. Walking inside, you can see the shadow of Western architecture everywhere. Students who are interested must go here~

You need an incense and flower ticket to enter Gude Temple, the lowest price is 8 yuan

The lotus flowers are everywhere. Visually, this is probably the most worthwhile place to visit in Wuhan in summer.

If the architecture of Gude Temple itself is rated 5 points, then the lotus must have added another 5 points to it.

If you want to play, one hour is enough~

Go inside and you will see the golden Buddha statue, listening to your inner desires.

I have never seen a temple with a Gothic style. What I like most is that the nuns will walk around the semi-open corridor of the main temple. P.S. It is best not to go to the vegetarian restaurant outside the ticket gate of the temple. I have been to many vegetarian restaurants provided by Buddhist temples. I thought this was also a vegetarian restaurant that had something to do with the temple, but it was actually a vegetarian restaurant that took advantage of the Buddhist nature of the temple.

Such an interesting temple, this style is unparalleled in the world

Gude Temple is really beautiful, and the weather was super good that day! It was so hot that it was bubbling! !

Gude Temple has its own architectural style, but first of all, it should be explained that the entrance fee is not a ticket, but a hidden ticket, called a ticket to buy incense, 8 yuan per person. Gude Temple is full of women, studying and living here, there are many beautiful photos to take here

The entrance fee to Gude Temple is free, but you need to pay a minimum of 8 yuan per person for incense.

I took a picture of it from every angle, and it really is beautiful and sacred no matter how you look at it.

This may be the most special and ancient temple I have ever seen.

The Buddha Hall was built in the style of the Ananda Temple in Myanmar. It is the only Buddhist building of this style in Chinese Buddhism and one of only two in the world. It is completely different from the traditional temple halls with yellow tiles, red pillars, and flying eaves and corners.

The architecture of the temple combines three styles: Gothic Christianity, ancient Greek temples and Islamic Islam.

You will understand and like the special feeling the moment you step in. If you ask people which aspect of the Gude Temple they like the most, many people will definitely say the three-sided corridor in one of the halls.

Me too.

I am not a believer in religion, but I like the peace and tranquility here. It is rare that such a unique temple is hidden in the bustling city, but it can be completely quiet and peaceful. It can be said to be a real Buddhist quiet place.

It has the style of a great hermit hidden in the city. Many tourists who come here cannot bear to disturb the tranquility and consciously protect it.

It is a Chinese Buddhist church, but it incorporates the style of Western Gothic churches. There is also a Thai four-faced Buddha inside, which is said to be donated by Hong Kong people. In general, you want to satisfy your desire to see Indo-Burmese, Gothic, and Islamic styles at the same time! One-step, hahahaha

It's a small place. It's okay to go there on the way. After all, it's the only temple building in Wuhan that is close to Thailand.

Gude Temple is quite interesting. At first glance, the architecture here doesn't look like a traditional temple at all, but more like an Islamic mosque. Later I learned that it is a mixture of Gothic, Romanesque, Byzantine, Islamic and other styles, which is also talented.

Probably because it was not the peak season, there were very few tourists when we came here, and the whole temple seemed particularly quiet. At this time, the monks were chanting scriptures together in the hall, and the clear sound of scriptures coming from a distance had a refreshing effect on the soul.

If you want, you can enter the hall on your own. There are many empty seats in the back row, and scriptures are neatly placed on the table with a message on it: "Give it to the destined person."

It was under renovation when I came, so there wasn't much to see, only the Heavenly King Hall, the Four-Faced Buddha and the Main Hall. Except for the exterior style of the Main Hall, which is different from that of Chinese Buddhism, there is nothing different. The statues and sculptures inside are all new. I don't understand the meaning of the 24 Filial Piety Pictures while the Buddha is enshrined in the Main Hall. Compared to the home-like Shaolin Temple, it can barely be considered a homestay. I just stopped by to take a look, it's not necessary to come here specially

I came here by bicycle at noon, and the entrance ticket was 8 yuan. The nuns were chanting sutras, and the offerings were all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, which was no different from ordinary temples. However, the combination of Western-style architecture and these is very special~

Gude Temple is a temple that combines Southeast Asian and European architectural styles. Its exterior design is very beautiful. A must-see attraction in Wuhan

Only the exterior of the building is OK, most of the places are off limits to tourists. I collected the entrance fee in the name of asking for incense, but I didn’t get any incense?! The photos I took couldn’t avoid the high-rise buildings next to me.

When I came here, a young lady recommended Gude Temple to me. It is said that it will be demolished soon, and it may be the last time to see it, so I hurried to go. There were very few people. It is rare to be able to take pictures of such an empty place in Wuhan. You can go in and visit after burning incense. The first time I saw a temple, it turned out to be a European-style building with domes, arches, and corridors. It was breathtakingly beautiful. I originally just wanted to stroll around casually, but I couldn't stop pressing the shutter. Everyone took a set of photos. It is a very suitable place for posing. With the light and wind direction, you can create a sense of blockbuster.

I went here at noon when the sun was shining brightly. There were practitioners chanting sutras on the second floor of the main hall. I felt as if I was being liberated even on such a hot day...

A very small place with few people, suitable for taking pictures

A Buddhist temple with an exotic architectural style rarely seen in China

The photo taking effect is great, there are few tourists and it is very quiet

I recommend Gude Temple. The architecture is different from other domestic temples. It is small but very special.

We took a taxi directly to Gude Temple. When we got off the car, we thought the driver had taken the wrong road. We walked into the ruins and found the hidden Gude Temple. We paid incense money at the entrance. There are three levels to choose from. We chose the middle level, which cost 15 yuan per person and received three incense sticks.

Gude Temple is a European-style Buddhist temple, now a nunnery, a very rare temple that combines Chinese and Western styles. Although the area is small, each building is exquisite and beautiful. There is a large group of pigeons leisurely strolling in the open space, reflecting the sun and the magnificent temple, which makes people feel peaceful. There is an iron box for donations on the ground. You can feed the pigeons by yourself by putting money in it. The box for feeding is also placed on the floor. Everyone should be very conscious of the Buddhist realm. The mother who happily feeds the pigeons is very cute!!! There are not many people in the temple. Many devout believers are silently reciting scriptures in the chanting hall. It is solemn. The free white pigeons are circling and falling in the temple. Everything is so sacred and peaceful.

First of all, let's talk about the entrance. If you don't buy their incense, you won't be allowed in. Although I don't understand the relevant laws, it's obviously not in compliance with the regulations. It's mandatory to buy. This is the first time I've seen such a temple. If you don't have incense in the main hall, you won't be allowed to enter. That is, if you burn incense at the entrance, you have to buy it again. Normal scenic spots require tickets, but this temple is probably not at the level of a scenic spot. There is only an old lady sitting on a bench at the door to burn incense for you. If you don't buy it, you won't be allowed to go in. The building itself is pretty good, but no matter how you take pictures, you can't avoid the high-rise buildings around it. It's very embarrassing to take pictures. It's a Buddhist temple with the style of ink and wash Jiangnan mixed with European architecture. You can finish the tour in less than 20 minutes, so it's not recommended.

Gude Temple is hidden in an alley, surrounded by high-rise buildings. The ancient buildings and modern cities blend together, which is very interesting.

It's very small, the building is nice, the ticket is 8 yuan, there are people performing rituals in the temple.

The Gude Temple is very small. If you don't burn incense and worship Buddha, 20 minutes of taking photos is enough. The ticket is 8 yuan per person, and each person is given three incense sticks.

Gude Temple is a Zen building hidden in the city.

I particularly like this unique and quiet temple. It is a mixture of European and Asian religious architecture, integrating the three major Buddhist schools of Mahayana, Hinayana and Tibetan Buddhism. It is very rare in Han Buddhist temples. There are no flying beams and painted buildings, blue bricks and red walls in traditional Buddhist temples. There are only Gothic Christian churches, Roman Catholic churches, Byzantine Orthodox churches and Islamic mosques.



I love this tranquility. I am not ostentatious in a busy city. I am calm and free after going through vicissitudes of life. Every tree and grass here has retained the traces of time. The misty green smoke rises straight up. In the passing years, I seem to see the former glory of this place.

The building has a more exotic style and is quite different from most of the temples we usually see.

Gude Temple was built in the third year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty. Its appearance is very different from that of ordinary traditional temples. It is very Western-style and is the only temple in China that mixes ancient Roman architectural styles.

To enter the temple, you have to buy incense coupons at the door. The lowest price is eight yuan, and you will be given three incense sticks to take in.

Recommended reason: Western style, Chinese style and interior are unique. If you like architecture or worship Buddha, you should not miss it. Gude Temple is a magical place. It looks like a Western church. Many students come here to sketch. But the interior is traditional Buddhism. The incense is strong, very quiet and the believers are pious. The overall atmosphere is very simple, which also gave me, who has been feeling uneasy recently, the opportunity to talk to the Buddha.

I went there for the five architectural styles, but it was a bit disappointing. Gude Temple claims to be free to visit, but you have to buy incense to enter, which is a disguised form of ticket collection. That's fine, the lowest incense is 8 yuan at ordinary times, but who knew that during the Spring Festival, they pasted the 8 yuan line and only sold second-class incense for 15 yuan per person.

It is a very stylish Buddhist temple. When I first saw the architecture, I thought it was a Christian church, but later I found out it was in Southeast Asian style.

The gate with the inscription "Gude Temple" seems to be a temporary iron plate, with a few simplified spires made of iron sheets standing on top, which looks a bit decadent from a distance. The entrance is very narrow, a small door on the right, and there is a vegetarian restaurant next to it.

Gude Temple is built in a residential area with high-rise buildings on all sides. Unlike ordinary temples, Gude Temple is more like a church. It is said to be the only temple in China that mixes ancient Roman style. It feels very strange. There is no ticket to enter Gude Temple, but each person needs to pay 15 yuan for incense and burn three incense sticks. When you enter, there is an open space first, and the place to burn incense is on the right.

Gude Temple mainly consists of two buildings. The building on the left is backed by modern high-rise buildings. The highest point is about seven or eight stories high and the horizontal length is nearly 100 meters. The gray walls and towering spires give people a magnificent momentum. It seems that this building can only go up to the second floor. The first floor is a corridor. On the second floor, there are monks doing homework in the hall in the middle. They line up in a long queue, fold several times in the hall, and follow the leading monk to chant. After each sentence, I took a step forward and only dared to peek at the door.

The building facing you should be the most important one in the temple. The stone material, the towering tower top, and the round carved windows really make you feel like you are walking into an ancient Roman church. There are three big Buddha statues in the front archway, and in front of the Buddha are cushions for worship and several merit boxes. The temple is so quiet that I dare not make a sound. In addition, there are few people, so I only dare to worship a few times, turn around quickly, and then walk out.

Gude Temple was built in the third year of Emperor Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty. The Yuantong Hall has a unique conception and beautiful shape. It is the only architectural style in the country that combines Indian, Burmese, Chinese and Western styles, and has extremely high cultural relic and artistic value.

A Buddhist temple with a very unique architecture. The front is not easy to find. There are many pigeons inside. For a moment, I was a little confused, wondering if I was in a Buddhist temple. The architecture is beautiful. It is worth a visit.

‌When I first saw her, she was ordinary and plain. After entering, three buildings came into view. At first glance, it was unremarkable, but then I saw that it was so profound, so independent and self-admiring. She doesn't need a bustling and lively area, she just needs to bloom quietly. There are solemn Buddha statues and devout people chanting scriptures, and even I can't help but immerse myself in it. During the five minutes I stayed there, listening to the unknown Buddhist scriptures, the whole person calmed down. It seems that I have some insights, but it seems that nothing has happened. When I finished listening to the scriptures and was about to leave, I suddenly found a cute white little pigeon flying up, and I found that there was a pigeon house nearby. There are white, turquoise, gray, and various mixed-color pigeons. They eat in the golden afterglow of the sun, and they are not afraid of strangers at all. When I grabbed a handful of corn kernels, the moment it pecked at your hand, I felt very relaxed. It seems to be one with nature.

It's unique. I came here after seeing other people's photos. I like it! It is a building that combines Buddhism, Christianity and ancient Greek styles. It is said that there are only two in the world.

I saw the nuns doing morning prayers. It seemed that the price of incense coupons had increased to 15 yuan per person during the Spring Festival, so they were given three incense sticks.

If you like architecture, you can come and see the incense is very popular.

It was the first time I saw a European-style temple. I thought it was magical at first sight. It was not a big place, but there were many people sitting quietly inside. I liked it very much. I don't know much about Buddhism. When I went there, there was a ritual going on inside, and it was nice to just watch quietly.

When approaching the Gude Temple, we saw the yellow walls common in Buddhist temples. First there were a few short stories, and then some Buddhist principles and calligraphy. It was pretty nice!

Probably because it is under renovation, the gate with the plaque "Gude Temple" seems to be a temporary iron plate. Despite this, the architectural elements of Gude Temple are abstracted in appearance, and five simplified spires are made of iron sheets and stand on top. The wind and sun have painted it reddish brown, and it looks a bit like "wasteland" from a distance. The real entrance is the small door on the right, and there is a vegetarian restaurant next to it, but I didn't go there.

Built in the middle of a residential area, Gude Temple exudes a unique atmosphere. Unlike ordinary Buddhist temples, Gude Temple is more like a church. There are not many tourists and there is not much commercial feeling. You can buy three incense sticks for 8 yuan.

The building on the north side is as high as seven or eight stories at its highest point and nearly a hundred meters wide. Its shape alone is enough to create a majestic aura, not to mention the gray color of the bricks and stones, the arches and spires rarely seen in traditional Chinese architecture, and the superstructures above three floors that narrow like a pyramid. Although it is still a drop in the bucket compared to modern skyscrapers that are often hundreds of meters high, standing in front of it and looking up at it, one can't help but think of the huge waves on Miller's planet in "Interstellar", which are truly overwhelming.

The Yuantong Hall should be the highlight of the temple. It has a square layout and its architectural style is a fusion of Eastern and Western elements (it looks mainly Western overall). The stone materials, tall arcades, round carved windows, and pagodas pointing to the sky make it look like a church full of Western style at first glance.
