How we checked it

Verified · 2026-09-22

Sources agree on the address, phone 021-62663668 and 8:00-16:30 opening. Free sutra copying in the Wenshu and Puxian halls runs daily 9:00-15:00 with no booking and the temple supplies brush, ink and paper, which is the core of this entry. Entry is free outside the Lunar New Year window; the Jade Buddha Tower is 10 extra and the noodle hall is 25 a bowl. The 30-yuan noodle figure in the snapshot conflicts with 25 found this round. Ctrip sells English guiding from 598 for 1-3 people, which is a separate paid product.
