Zhao Lei's "Chengdu" sparked my first heartbeat, but it was in the morning bells and incense of Wenshu Monastery that I fell in love with Chengdu thousands of times over💕 Zhao Lei said, "If you haven't been to Wenshu Monastery, it's like you haven't been to Chengdu." This is absolutely no exaggeration!

🌿 Stepping inside feels like entering another world
The thousand-year-old temple looks even more solemn and serene in the morning light, with every corner exuding Zen✨ Every step reveals a beautiful scene, and amid the lingering Buddhist chants, even your breath becomes calm~
You can't help but touch the doors, windows, bronze lions, and moss-covered stone pillars; the historical texture at your fingertips feels like a conversation with time from a thousand years ago💫 It’s recommended to arrive at 8 AM to enjoy the entire temple’s tranquility alone!
📸【Photo Tips】
Recommended Outfit: Plain colors like off-white or light gray (perfect match with ancient architecture for photos!)
👉 Must-check spots outside the temple:
✔️ Heart Tree 💚 (a super popular internet-famous check-in spot)
✔️ Red Wall with "World Peace, Human Happiness" (looks more sophisticated with the text)
✔️ Bright Yellow Screen Wall (great color contrast)
👉 Must-visit inside the temple:
1️⃣ Mahavira Hall: Get three free incense sticks and make a wish 🙏
2️⃣ Central Axis Buildings: Simple and elegant, feel the beauty of thousand-year-old architecture
3️⃣ Wenshu Pavilion: Be sure to go up to the third floor’s Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas! When I visited, I encountered some "Buddhist-style" pigeons 🕊️ super interesting!
🌳 The garden landscape area is perfect for daydreaming, watching elderly people practice Tai Chi in the morning, and experiencing the lifestyle of old Chengdu~
I originally thought it would be just a simple temple visit, but after immersing myself for an hour and a half, I completely fell in love with this city~ Indeed, the saying "Don’t enter Shu when young, don’t leave Sichuan when old" makes perfect sense!
