Hanshan Temple (寒山寺) – Stepping into a Tang Dynasty Poem

#hellohalloween
Hanshan Temple (寒山寺) is a place where literature and spirituality converge. This ancient Buddhist monastery is globally famous thanks to the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ji, whose poem immortalized the sound of its midnight bell echoing across the Maple Bridge. Visiting the temple allows you to step directly into that melancholy yet serene atmosphere described over a thousand years ago.
The environment is contemplative and tranquil, featuring classic Chinese temple architecture with yellow walls and black-tiled roofs. Visitors can wander the Tablets Corridor where Zhang Ji’s famous poem, "A Night Mooring by Maple Bridge," is inscribed, linking the physical space directly to its profound literary heritage.
