Scenic spot introduction:

Xuzhou Zhulin Temple is the first bhikshuni temple in China and one of the eight ancient temples in Xuzhou. The temple was founded and named by Master Jingjian, the first bhikshuni in my country, in Luoyang. Zhulin Temple was repeatedly abandoned and built in the past dynasties. Until the Japanese invaders invaded China in the middle of the last century, Zhulin Temple was wantonly looted and the thousand-year-old temple was destroyed. The temple was rebuilt in 2004 to recreate the deep and quiet artistic conception of the thousand-year-old Zhulin Temple. Coupled with the beautiful scenery of Lion Rock, it has become a place of worship for female believers.
