No wonder, this temple is one of the most significant Buddhist sites in Sichuan Province Wenshu Monastery has a history of over 1,000 years, dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618–907 AD), this temple is dedicated to Wenshu (Manjushri), the Bodhisattva of Wisdom. During the Qing Dynasty, This monastery gained prominence when a Buddhist monk named Cidu meditated and was believed to have transformed into Wenshu after his death. The monastery's traditional Chinese architecture is stunning, with intricately designed halls, towers, and pavilions surrounded by lush gardens, and The Great Buddha Hall and the Hall of Wenshu are among the highlights, housing impressive Buddhist statues and relics. The monastery houses over 500 statues, including Buddhist deities, historical figures, and mythical creatures. It preserves rare Buddhist texts, sutras, and calligraphy by notable scholars and monks. Despite being located in the bustling city of Chengdu, Wenshu Monastery offers a tranquil retreat. Visitors can meditate, light incense, or simply enjoy the serene surroundings. After exploring the entire monastery, before I left this temple, I took a rest in one of their tea houses, and enjoyed Chengdu's famous tea culture while relaxing in the peaceful setting of Wenshu's monastery garden. I also had my lunch in the vegetarian restaurant owned by the monastery, which serves traditional Buddhist dishes made from fresh, local ingredients. Visiting Wenshu Monastery provides not only a spiritual journey but also a deeper understanding of Chengdu’s cultural heritage and the enduring influence of Buddhism in China. #travel #thingstodo #myitinerary #china #citydaytours #chengdu #temple
