It is a rare architectural structure of a temple facing west to east. Located at the estuary of the Haihe River, it is the first temple seen by ships entering the sea, hence it is called "the First Temple at the Taku Mouth". In front of the temple by the sea, there is a 19.9-meter-tall statue of Guanyin with three faces. A temple fair is held on the 19th day of the second lunar month (the birthday of the Bodhisattva Guanyin). Every time I come here, my heart calms down, listening to the wind chimes under the eaves, watching the leisurely pigeons. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, experience the slow pace of life. Here you can: 【Incense Offering·Worship Buddha】 Offer incense for 10 yuan for three sticks, talk about your worries, and pray for inner peace. 【Make a Wish·Light a Lamp】 Pray for blessings, light a lamp for your family, and pray for safety and wisdom. 【Vegetarian Meal·Copying Scriptures】 If you feel troubled and can't calm down, you can also come to Chaoyin Temple to copy scriptures for free. Vegetarian meals are provided from 11-12 o'clock every day, which are very delicious, worth a try. 【Prayer Beads】 At the Dharma item circulation area, you can ask for consecrated prayer beads. I got a string of star and moon bodhi before, and you can also match accessories and ask volunteer masters to string them. There are also glass prayer beads, with a variety of types. 【Volunteering】 If you want to volunteer, just go to the volunteer center to inquire and sign up. It's just a little further from the Dharma item circulation area. The people here are all very kind and peaceful, and after staying for a while, your emotions will stabilize. 【Watch Seagulls】 Chaoyin Temple is near the estuary, where there used to be just a few steps by the river, but now it has been turned into a fitness trail, with a nice environment. You can walk by the river, and in winter and spring, you can see seagulls. ⚠️Pay attention to your dress when visiting the temple, avoid revealing clothes. ⚠️Worship Buddha clockwise, avoid making loud noises. 📌In the evening, you can also enjoy a bowl of spicy chicken noodles and delicious fried skewers 📌Binhai also has ✔️Sea World Museum✔️Binhai Library✔️Dongjiang Port Park✔️Beitang Ancient Town, etc., suitable for a day trip to play together.
