(Translated by Google) Nanchan Temple is a Buddhist temple near the South Gate of Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province. It is one of the four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties. It is adjacent to the bank of the ancient canal and connects with Qingmingqiao historical and cultural district, the protection site of the Wuxi section of the World Heritage Grand Canal. Nanchan Temple was first built during the Taiqing period (April 547-December 549) of Emperor Wuxi of the Southern Dynasty. Nanchan is one of the four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties." This block was rated as a national 4A-level scenic spot in 2012. "South Zen Pagoda" Feng Shan (Ming) The seven-level pagoda is magnificent and rests in the ancient city of Kuma for thousands of years. The red tiles and green tiles line up the clouds, and the carved railings of Zhuhu lean against the Han Dynasty. Ten miles away, it was rumored that Jinduo was ringing, and the Jade Dragon flew down for a long time. Several times I boarded and read Shu Changxiao, and the sound was chased by the breeze and fell to Jiugai. "South Zen Pagoda" Li Zhan (Ming) The Vatican Palace stands abruptly in the south corner of the city, and the pagoda stands tall and clear. The green tiles fly to vibrate and sing, and the gold plate knots the top to hold the pearl. When did the Sangha go without a trace? Dreaming of entering an empty hall but seeing tin. I come to see the foot and the secluded place, and look down at the clouds and shake my chest. (Original) 南禪寺是江蘇省無錫市南門附近的一處佛教寺廟，為南朝四百八十寺之一的古名剎。其毗鄰古運河畔，與世界遺產大運河無錫段保護點清名橋歷史文化街區相接。南禪寺始建於南朝梁武帝太清年間（547年4月—549年12月），據清代《重修無錫南禪寺碑記》中載：「梁溪十大剎，首惠山，次南禪，屬南朝四百八十寺之一」。這一街區已於2012年獲評為國家4A級景區。 《南禪寶塔》 馮善（明） 七級浮屠勢壯哉，千年高枕古城隈。 丹甍碧瓦排雲起，朱戶雕欄倚漢開。 十里傳聞金鐸響，半天飛下玉龍來。 幾回登覽舒長嘯，聲逐清風落九垓。 《南禪寶塔》 李湛（明） 梵宮突兀南城隅，浮屠屹立凌清虛。 碧瓦飛甍振鳴鐸，金盤結頂擎明珠。 僧伽何年去無跡？夢入空堂惟見錫。 我來登覽足幽勝，俯瞰層雲盪胸臆。

Being in it seems to be in ancient China. But unfortunately, it's not a real old town but an artificial one. But the temple itself is still worth to look around, even if you don't like shopping. 身在其中會令人彷彿置身古代中國，不過可惜的是本身並不是真正的古鎮，而是一個人造的仿古商圈。但即便如此，南禪寺本身還是值得一看的，即便對於一些不喜歡逛街的人來說。

Wonderful place with lots of beautiful structures. Plenty of shops all around the vicinity. There is also a boat ride for all to enjoy.

There are several Buddhist temples in Wuxi. Nanchan Temple is one of them. It's from 8:30 to 5:30. Without this time you can't enter inside. It's become more Beautiful at night. Lovely place.

A bizarre experience. First, you were greeted with an army of “Dama”（大媽 / aunties）on a stage competing for a sponsored dance competition near the temple entrance. The music was, uh, deafening. Then you would bump into monks paying attention to their mobile phones and locals smoking inside the temple area. There was also a shopping corridor located next to the Temple, littered with run-down shops and stalls selling antiques, as well as vintage comic books and Mao badges from the 60s and 70s of the last centuries. If you were into architecture of centuries-old buildings with an authentic Zen vibe, I am not sure this is the place you are looking for. Free admission though.

Nice shopping experience nearby.

Good

오후 4시인가 닫음. 평일날 가보니 주변의 가계들도 같이 닫는지 식당을 제외하곤 닫은 가계가 많았음. 그냥 가볼만은 함. 사진도 잘 나옴.

Tempatnya masih renovasi,tapi masih bisa buat sembahyang
