Ci Shan Temple

Ci Shan Temple in Changzhou, located in Minghuang, Wujin District, presents an architectural style that, from a distance, resembles temples found in Thailand or the Xishuangbanna region, exuding a strong Southeast Asian exotic charm.

The entire temple glistens with gold, and it is said to be one of the larger Pure Land Buddhism temples of Amitabha in the Jiangnan area.
