Hanshan Temple is located at the west of Suzhou City, first built during the Tianjian Period in the Liang Dynasty.
It was said that Han Shan, a Buddhist monk, lived here in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the temple was renamed “Hanshan Temple”. Its reputation originates from Moor beside Feng Bridge at Night, a poem by Zhang Ji, a poet in the Tang Dynasty.
There are major view spots such as Daxiong Great Hall, Cangjing Tower, Fengjiang Tower, Bell Tower and the stele inscribed with the above poem. |
