Jingan Temple
Jingan Temple Review
Originally built about AD 300, the Jingan Temple has been rebuilt and renovated numerous times. The temple's Southern-style halls, which face a central courtyard, gleam with new wood carvings of elephants and lotus flowers, but the hall interiors have stark, new concrete walls, and feel generally antiseptic. The temple's main draw is its copper Hongwu bell, cast in 1183 and weighing in at 3.5 tons.
