A national 4A-level tourist attraction, one of the "Top 10" tourist attractions in Shanxi Province, and one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Hedong. A Buddhist temple It is a famous love sanctuary at home and abroad because of the touching love story in the classical opera Romance of the Western Chamber. "Temples in the world do not talk about love, only Shanxi Pujiu Temple" The Yingying Pagoda in the temple is famous for its unique structure, exquisite craftsmanship, and obvious echo effect. It is known as one of the four major echo buildings in China, along with the Echo Wall of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, the Pagoda of Baolun Temple in Henan, and the "Stone Piano" of Dazu Rock Carvings in Tongnan County, Sichuan. It is also known as one of the six wonders of the world, along with the Shaking Pagoda in Shan State, Myanmar, the Music Pagoda in Szolnok, Hungary, the Fragrance Pagoda in Marrakesh, Morocco, the Bell Tower in Paris, France, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy.

Pujiu Temple is usually scheduled for the second day of the trip to Yuncheng. After experiencing the grandeur and shock of "Traveling with the Gods" on the first day, it's time to return to the human world, with a beautiful love story, the magnificent scenery of the Yellow River, and the exquisite craftsmanship of artisans. The story of Yongji "In the Human World" continues. The first stop is Pujiu Temple in "Romance of the West Chamber", "surrounded by red walls, with ancient towers towering high, and temples hidden among green trees". Pujiu Temple is built on the plateau, with an upper, middle, and lower terrace layout, and three axes: east, middle, and west. You can enter from the middle axis and exit from the east axis, visiting the three terraces in sequence. Inside the temple, there are attractions such as "Pear Blossom Courtyard", "White Pagoda", "Bright Moon Pool", and "Seven Mile Pine", each with its own story and legend. The most popular Pear Blossom Courtyard is located between the Great Buddha Hall and the Sutra Library on the third terrace, commonly known as "Yingying Courtyard", where the old lady, Yingying, and Hongniang lived in Pujiu Temple. The north main room was the old lady's room, the west wing room was Yingying and Hongniang's room, and the east wing room was Huanlang's room. I won't say more, it's best to hire a guide to enjoy the scenery and listen to the stories, to truly immerse yourself in the "Romance of the West Chamber" at Pujiu Temple. I later found out that every year on the Qixi Festival, Pujiu Temple organizes a "Love Culture Festival", which is truly amazing. Notes: ① There is a parking lot outside the entrance square, you can directly navigate to "Pujiu Temple Parking Lot", CNY 10 per time. Guide fee is CNY 60. ② The stairs at Pujiu Temple are a bit difficult to climb, especially at the entrance and the back garden, the stairs are steep, going up is fine, but going down is a bit scary. You can take the wooden stairs on both sides, which are relatively flat, but you have to take a longer route. ③ Pujiu Temple is 3.8 km (about 6 minutes by car) from Pujindu Site (Yellow River Iron Ox), and 5.6 km (about 8 minutes by car) from Guanque Tower (on a clear day, you can see Guanque Tower from Pujiu Temple). Pujindu Site is 1.8 km (about 3 minutes by car) from Guanque Tower. After the visit, you can navigate directly to Wangu Temple, and then have a meal in Yongji City (Xiaoxue Beef Dumpling Restaurant).

📍Attraction address: Xixiang Village, Puzhou Town, Yongji City, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province [6:00]Opening hours: 8:30-18:00 👍️Reason for recommendation: [One] Pujiu Temple was built in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was originally called Xiyongqingyuan and is a Buddhist Zen temple in ten directions. Pujiu Temple became famous all over the world because of "Cui Yingying Waiting for the Moon in the West Chamber" written by Wang Shifu of the Yuan Dynasty, and became the place where the love story of "The Romance of the West Chamber" took place. [Two] The temple was originally called the Relic Pagoda. It was built in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is currently a square brick tower with dense eaves that was rebuilt in 1563. The previous one was destroyed by the earthquake during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. Most of the other buildings in the temple were newly restored in 1986. , the temple building layout has three floors, upper, middle and lower, with three axes in the east, middle and west (the east axis is of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the middle axis is of the Song and Jin dynasties, and the west is of the Tang Dynasty); [Three] The Yingying Pagoda of Pujiu Temple, because the stone is knocked on the side of the tower, the tower will emit a clear and melodious sound of toads. "Pujiu Toad Sound" became one of the eight scenic spots in Yongji in ancient times. The Yingying Pagoda, together with the Echo Gallery of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, the Baolun Temple Pagoda in Henan, and the "Shiqin" of the Great Buddha Temple in Tongnan County, Sichuan, are known as the four major echo buildings in Chinese classical gardens. 🎟️Ticket related: Full ticket 60💰, (free for those over 60 years old) 💗Other tips: [One]💫I heard that seeking marriage at Pujiu Temple is very effective~ When young couples come, remember to walk on the Yingying Trail~ [Two][DoubleHearts] Friends who are looking for a good marriage should go to the Yuelao Hall to pay homage. Remember the order: God of Wealth - Mother Guanyin - Yuelao. You will meet the God of Wealth first and then you will meet Yuelao. This is all arranged by the ancients.

- The exact time of the construction of Pujiu Temple is difficult to verify. From the unearthed cultural relics, it can be inferred that it already existed in the early Sui Dynasty and was called Xiyongqingyuan at that time. During the Five Dynasties, because Guo Wei listened to the advice of the monks during the siege and kept his vow not to kill the people, Xiyongqingyuan was renamed Pujiu Temple. In the ninth year of the Republic of China, it suffered a fire and was later destroyed by the invading Japanese army, leaving only the Yingying Tower, stone lions, and Bodhisattva Cave. In 1986, the government repaired Pujiu Temple. Pujiu Temple is the place where the story of the classic Chinese drama "Romance of the West Chamber" took place. The love story of Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying happened here, which made Pujiu Temple a holy place of love, attracting many tourists to visit.

🌿【A Poetic Encounter in Yongji】🏰 📍 Seeking ancient mysteries, we traverse through time and space to arrive at the ancient city of Puzhou in Yuncheng, Shanxi. Here lies an epic tale, an immortal love story—The Romance of the Western Chamber. 🎭 The love story of Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying began under the ancient pagoda of Pujiu Temple. Yingying Pagoda has since become synonymous with love. Today, every love lock inside the pagoda holds a piece of human affection, with names engraved as if to make them eternal. 💡 For 60 yuan, you can buy a lock engraved with our names, hoping to secure not just love but also the beautiful memories of this moment. However, friendship is equally precious. We joke that no chain is needed; our bond is already deeply rooted in our hearts. 🗼 Yingying Pagoda, this ancient pagoda from the Sui and Tang dynasties, has weathered the passage of time. It was damaged in an earthquake during the Jiajing period of the Ming dynasty and later restored under the advocacy of Zhang Jiayin. The 40-meter tower with an 8.3-meter base tells the weight of history with every brick and tile. 🐸 Moreover, this pagoda is one of China's four classical echo buildings. A gentle knock on the stone beside the pagoda produces a "croak! croak!" echo, as if nature has bestowed a mysterious symphony, making one feel relaxed and happy. 🚫 However, the uncivilized behavior of many tourists, such as random carvings and graffiti, has marred this tranquility and beauty, which is truly heartbreaking. 🌉 Standing at Pujiu Temple, you can also gaze at Guanque Tower in the distance, capturing the grandeur of "wishing to see a thousand miles further." 🌅 Here, there is not only love and ancient pagodas but also our reverence for history and the inheritance of culture. Yongji, a place full of poetry, is a niche travel destination worth visiting together.

📍Location: On the plateau of Xixiang Village, Puzhou Town, Yongji City, Yuncheng Area, Shanxi Province 👍️Must-visit Attraction: The love story of 'Hongniang tying the red thread under the moon, Zhang Sheng cleverly meeting Cui Yingying' from the Yuan Dynasty play 'The Romance of the Western Chamber' by Wang Shifu happened inside Pujiu Temple. (Thus, it is the only temple in China blessed with love.) The Yingying Tower inside the temple is the most worth visiting. It is ancient, magnificent, uniquely structured, and has a very interesting echo effect. It is said that if you knock on the side of the tower with a stone, the tower will emit a crisp and pleasant 'croak—croak—' frog sound. However, knocking is no longer allowed now. 🎟️Ticket Information: Peak season: 60 RMB/person Off-season: 50 RMB/person Parking requires an additional ten yuan parking fee (Personally, I think it's not worth it, quite expensive) 💗Other Tips: Opening hours: April 1 - October 31 08:00-18:00; November 1 - March 31 09:00-17:00 For nearby tourism, you can also visit the Guanque Tower and Pujin Ferry nearby.

Pujiu Temple is located 3 kilometers east of the ancient city of Puzhou in Yongji City, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province, on the top of Emei Yuan. Pujiu Temple was founded during the Tang Dynasty under Empress Wu Zetian, originally named Xiyong Qingyuan, and is a Buddhist Zen monastery in all directions. The love story of 'Hongniang tying the red thread under the moon, Zhang Sheng cleverly meeting Cui Yingying' mentioned in Wang Shifu's 'The Romance of the Western Chamber' by Yuan Dynasty took place inside Pujiu Temple. The temple's halls, pavilions, galleries, and pagodas are built upon the plateau, rising step by step, giving a sense of grandeur, majesty, and elegance. Interspersed among them are 'Xixuan' where Zhang Sheng stayed, 'Lihua Deep Courtyard' where Cui Yingying's family lived, and 'Shuzhai Courtyard' where Zhang Sheng moved after the white horse resolved the siege. Behind the temple is a garden with undulating terrain, forming a lively garden. The rockery in the garden is precipitous as if cut, and the 'Oriole Language Pavilion' has flying eaves and upturned corners. A curved path like a magpie bridge stretches across the lotus pond, connecting pavilions and bridges, lakes, and mountains. Yingying's 'Moon Worship Platform' is hidden among green pines, cypresses, and thousands of bamboo poles. The Yingying Pagoda standing in the temple is not only simple in shape and spectacular, but also famous for its unique structure and clear echo effect. Visitors knock on the side of the pagoda with a stone, and the pagoda will emit a crisp and pleasant 'croak-croak' sound of a toad, which amazes visitors. This pagoda, along with the Echo Wall of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, the Pagoda of Baolun Temple in Henan, and the 'Stone Qin' in the Dafo Temple in Tongnan District, Chongqing, is known as one of the four great echo buildings in China; together with the Shaking Head Pagoda in Shan State, Myanmar, the Music Tower in Sopron, Hungary, the Fragrance Tower in Marrakesh, Morocco, the Bell Tower in Paris, France, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, it is known as one of the six wonders of the world.

Pujiu Temple was first built during the period of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, originally named Xiyongqing Court, and is a Buddhist temple of the Ten Directions. The love story of "Hongniang leading the red line under the moon, Zhang Sheng cleverly meeting Cui Yingying" mentioned in Wang Shipu's "Cui Yingying Waiting for the Moon in the West Chamber" during the Yuan Dynasty took place in Pujiu Temple. Since 1986, the newly restored Pujiu Temple, the layout of the temple buildings is divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower, and three axes: east, middle and west (the west axis is from the Tang Dynasty, the middle axis is from the Song and Jin Dynasties, and the east axis is from the Ming and Qing Dynasties), with a grand scale and unique style. From the top of the plateau to the bottom, the halls and pavilions, the corridors and Buddha pagodas, rely on the plateau to rise step by step, giving people a sense of majesty and elegance. In addition, the buildings closely related to the story of "The West Chamber": the "West Pavilion" where Zhang Sheng stayed, the "Pear Blossom Deep Courtyard" where Cui Yingying's family lived, and the "Study Courtyard" where Zhang Sheng moved after the white horse was relieved are interspersed among them. Behind the temple is a garden with lively terrain. The stacked rockery in the garden is as dangerous as cutting, and the double pavilions of the oriole are flying eaves. The curved path of the magpie bridge is horizontally erected on the lotus pond, and the pavilion and bridge are connected, and the lake and mountain are connected. Yingying's "Moon Worship Platform" is hidden among the green pines and cypresses and thousands of bamboo poles. The Yingying Tower standing in the temple is not only simple in shape and spectacular, but also famous for its unique structure and obvious echo effect. Tourists will knock on the side of the tower with a stone, and the tower will make a crisp and pleasant "croak-" "croak-" frog call, which is amazing. According to the local chronicles, it is called "Pujiu Toad Sound", which is one of the eight scenes of Yongji in ancient times. Due to the publication of "The West Chamber", the "Buddhist Temple without Over the World" Pujiu Temple became famous, and the relic tower in the temple was also renamed "Yingying Tower" and became famous. And the beautiful and moving love story has been shaking people's hearts for thousands of years. It is the place where the story of the famous Chinese historical drama "The West Chamber" took place. There is a square brick tower in the temple, originally named Relic Tower, commonly known as Yingying Tower. This tower, together with the Echo Wall of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, the Tower of Baolun Temple in Henan, and the "Stone Qin" in the Big Buddha Temple in Tongnan District, Chongqing, are known as the four major echo buildings in China; and the Shaking Head Tower in Shan State, Myanmar, the Music Tower in Solnok, Hungary, the Incense Tower in Marrakesh, Morocco, the Bell Tower in Paris, France, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, are known as the six major wonders of the world. The heart makes it a famous tourist attraction.

Pujiu Temple: Founded in the Tang Dynasty. There is a well-known love story about this ancient temple, which took place in Yongji Pujiu Temple. Old lady Zheng, with her daughter Cui Yingying, son Huanlang, maid Hongniang, and the coffin of the former prime minister Cui, was on her way back to her hometown. They stayed temporarily in the west wing of Pujiu Temple. Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng, a poor scholar, fell in love at first sight in the temple. Zhang Sheng also lived in the temple for his exam preparation. At that time, the situation was chaotic, and the rebels surrounded Pujiu Temple and wanted to rob Cui Yingying as the wife of the village. The old lady had no choice but to promise 'whoever can repel the rebels and rescue them, she will marry her daughter to him, and even give a dowry'. Zhang Sheng wrote a letter to his friend, the White Horse General, who saved everyone. However, the old lady went back on her word and wanted to recognize each other as siblings. However, with the help of Hongniang, Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying had already decided to spend their lives together and agreed to meet again after Zhang Sheng's exam. This is the story of 'The West Chamber'. I like Wang Shipu's ending of lovers finally getting together. Although the plot is a bit lacking in impact, there are already many tragic love stories, and it's also good to have a happy ending. Walking in Pujiu Temple, looking at Cui Yingying's former residence, Yingying Tower, etc., imagining that beautiful love story, is also very interesting.
