In the long history of thousands of years in China, many famous ancient temples have been handed down, and there are some related legends! For example, Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou West Lake Scenic Area has a deep relationship with the well-known "Jigong" and still attracts many tourists from home and abroad to punch in! There is also the world-famous Shaolin Temple. I wonder how many people yearn for it. Some people even dream of practicing martial arts in it and becoming a "martial arts master" one day! Compared with most ancient temples located in quiet forests, some temples are located in downtown areas, and even the main roads with heavy traffic are in front of us, just like Qita Temple located in Ningbo, Zhejiang. Although it has a history of 1000 years, it is now located in a noisy urban area, which is very unique!

As a coastal city, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province not only has a busy port and a long coastline, but also ancient temples, large and small, many of which have a history of thousands of years, profound cultural heritage and very good origins! Tiantong Temple, Asoka Temple and Guobao Temple are familiar to many people living in Ningbo, and many people have been there! But geographically speaking, Ningbo also has a thousand-year-old temple. In the bustling city center, it is surrounded by busy urban roads and shopping malls, and the bus stop is the door. This temple is the very famous "Seven Pagodas Temple"!

As early as the twelfth year of the Tang Dynasty, that is, in 858 AD, the Qita Temple was first built, and it has been almost 1200 years now, which can be said to be very long! The Millennium Temple was originally named Jin Dong Temple, and later renamed Qi Xin Temple, Chongshou Temple and Louxin Temple. Later, during the Kangxi period, there were seven stone pagodas in front of the temple, representing seven buddha, hence the name "Seven Pagodas Temple", which has been in use ever since!

As the largest and best-preserved temple in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, Qita Temple is located at No.83/KLOC-0, Baizhang Road, Yinzhou District, Ningbo City. It is also one of the four famous forests in eastern Zhejiang, with the same name as Tiantong Temple, Ashoka Temple and Yanqing Guanzong Temple! In the long history of thousands of years, although this temple has been promoted and abolished several times, it still preserves some relics relatively well! At present, the main buildings of the temple are the seven pagodas in front of the temple, the temple gate, the Heavenly King Hall, the Ursa Major Hall, the Three Temples, the Abbot Hall, the Tibetan Scripture Building, the Bell Tower, the Jade Buddha Pavilion, the Ciyin Hall, the East and West Wing and the fence. * * * The total construction area has reached 1. 1.4 million square meters, which can be said to be grand.

The full name of Qita Temple is Qita Hoonji, and it is still a key cultural relic protection unit in Zhejiang Province. It contains many extremely precious historical relics, such as pagodas, bronze bells in the Song Dynasty and various stone carvings and documents. Although it is located in a bustling downtown area, the environment in the temple is quiet, just like taking peace from the noise, as if it were completely unaffected by the surrounding and outside noisy environment. It's really like "the big one is hidden in the city", which makes people feel very valuable!

There is a long road at the entrance of Qita Temple, and the bus stop is not far from the gate. Vehicles coming and going nearby will pass in front of the gate of this Millennium temple, which is very lively! Rao, the Qita Temple, located in the center of the city, is still spotless, guarding its pure land alone and bringing people long-term peace and calm! Let people in the bustling city have a short rest place in their hearts, which can wash away the fatigue of the day!
