Here is the most comprehensive guide to Bao Lian Temple in Xuzhou

🚌Transportation: You can choose to take a taxi or ride a shared electric scooter🛵 (two girls can ride together). The starting taxi fare is 8 yuan, with no price increase at night, which is cheap and convenient. 📷Visiting: ➡️Right at the main square of Bao Lian Temple is a large golden lotus🪷 building, which is very exquisite and aesthetically pleasing ➡️To the right of the lotus, the visitor center offers luggage storage🧳 and sells creative cultural ice cream for 15 yuan per stick (beautiful and delicious, 5⭐️ highly recommended) ➡️Upon entering the temple, you can freely take a tray of three incense sticks from the panda🐼 tray to use for worship ➡️Continuing forward, you will see the vegetarian noodle house. It is advised to buy pastries earlier rather than later, as they may sell out ➡️Inside the temple🉑️, you can visit and worship at will, divination is 10 yuan per fortune, and you can look up the interpretation on Baidu if you don't understand it. For blessings (there are two masters in the Guanyin temple who can pray and chant scriptures for you, a donation for incense is sufficient) ➡️If you want to get a stamp, go to the 'Guest Hall' behind Guanyin, where you can get a free🆓 stamp📒 ➡️The place to eat noodles on the lower right side after getting a stamp is relatively less crowded than the noodle house at the entrance ⚠️Avoid: 1⃣️Wearing short skirts, shorts, flip-flops, or other clothing that exposes too much skin 2⃣️When entering the hall, do not step on the threshold; cross it to enter 3⃣️After entering the hall, do not talk, eat, or preferably take photos (two lights shine together, one will be harmed. I heard this, so I never take photos of Buddha statues in temples) 4⃣️If you're not specifically there to ask for wealth or career success, don't make too specific requests when worshiping, such as asking the Buddha to bless you with a promotion and a raise next year or success in a certain matter. If the wish you make casually comes true, you need to return to the temple to repay your vow, otherwise, there will be negative consequences... (This was a reminder from a tour guide during a previous trip) After all, if it's a wish made without intention, you might forget it 5⃣️It's a good idea to prepare some change🪙 in advance for donations 🍜Eating: ✅The vegetarian noodles at Bao Lian Temple are very popular online🔥, and they indeed taste good with a fresh soup. It's also recommended to try the vegetarian buns, which are also very good👍 ✅As for pastries, they taste good, 🈶️ with six different flavors and shapes, beautiful and delicious. If you want to buy them, you should go early to the place where they sell vegetarian noodles, as they may run out later. 💰38/box 📿Bracelets: ✅💰48 Bao Lian Temple's eighteen-seed bracelets are very popular🔥, but many netizens reported strange reactions after wearing them, so I didn't buy one ✅I bought two other styles, which are also very beautiful and I like them a lot There are many consecrated items, such as combs, phone lanyards, bracelets, prayer beads, bangles, hairpins, etc. ✅Don't follow the trend, choose what you like. ⚠️⚠️⚠️Consecrated items should not be worn while bathing or sleeping, they must not come into contact with water, and should not be placed in the bathroom, toilet, or kitchen❗️❗️❗️ After leaving Bao Lian Temple, you can go to the snack street to walk around, eat snacks, or have a barbecue
