Jiming temple, also known as the ancient Jiming temple, is located on the foot of the mountain in the east of Jilong. It is adjacent to Xuanwu Lake in the north. It was built in the Western Jin Dynasty. It is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Nanjing. The mountain gate is located on the left side of Jimingsi road. In the middle of the mountain gate are four golden characters of "ancient Jimingsi". The environment in the temple is very elegant, the Buddha Hall is exquisite, and the incense is surrounded. Stepping into the mountain gate, on the left is the feeding platform, in front of which is the Maitreya hall, on which are the Mahavira hall and Guanyin tower. In addition, the main buildings in the temple include Weituo hall, Zhigong tomb, sutra collection building, Buddha worship hall, herbalist pagoda, etc.
The ancient temple of a thousand years came here. Jiming temple is small and small, but I like it very much. I can feel its quiet and elegant atmosphere quietly, avoiding many festivals. This is the temple with the least commercial atmosphere I saw in Nanjing. No one is fooling you into burning expensive high incense, and no one is around you to sell all kinds of Buddhist souvenirs. Just 10 yuan incense coupons, praise one! I like the vegetarian food here very much. I'm tired of buying a bowl of mung bean soup to drink and have a rest. It's very pleasant to see the scenery of Xuanwu Lake by the way.
