This temple has several courtyards with ancient trees, carvings, and miniature ponds. The walkways around the courtyards are full of beautifully painted wooden beams.

4.0 Guangren Temple (45 reviews)
- Very beautiful temple where you really feel the history

A beautiful place to see. After a 10km bike ride on a city bike I did not have to pay any entrance fee and as a welcome gift everyone received a mask and a bottle of water. It was yet close to 40 degrees. The place is beautiful, full of colors, definitely worth for taking photos. Also monks have there regular sessions, many people go to pray there.

4.5 Caotang Temple (16 reviews)
- Caotang Temple
Wednesday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Ancient Ruins • Religious Sites

I once read a novel about Kumarajiva (a great Buddhist monk) and his life story, and know that Caotang Temple is the place where he translated the great Buddhist sutra. So I planned to visit this place. Caotang Temple is located at the foot of north Gui Peak of Hu County, Xian. It is famous for a historical celebrity Kumarajiva who translated Buddhist sutra into Chinese. The temple was said to be built in the East Jin Dynasty. The view arround the temple is also very beatiful. See more..

4.5 Shuilu Temple (10 reviews)
- Beautiful temple!
Wednesday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Religious Sites • Monuments & Statues

The temple grounds area is pretty typical except for one big slab that has been preserved. I was told that it is very old. There's a big dong being at 99 times for the most best luck ever. Inside the main temple is an amazing display of art and craft work. It's really beautiful and totally worth the visit. See more..
4.0 Lou Guantai National Forest Park (9 reviews)
- Stunning
Wednesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Parks • Forests • Religious Sites

There's a walk in these mountains, past the Panda Reserve, called the '2000 steps'. Do it. It may be tiring, but the view from the top of the mountains, looking down on an idyllic, remote Chinese landscape, is unforgettable. It is stereotypical rural China, and what more could you ask for from a small rural village, an hour outside Xi'an. Loved it. See more..
4.5 Tianzhu Shan(Tianzhu Mountain) (7 reviews)
- Grand Tianzhushan
Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Mountains • Religious Sites

4.5 Xuanyuan Temple (6 reviews)
- 中国文化的起源，黄帝的陵墓
Wednesday: 7:30 AM - 6:30 PM Ancient Ruins • Religious Sites

这里很气阔，经典很有特色。给人一种肃然起敬的威严感，广场也很漂亮，很宽敞，景点就是应该这样，而不是那种一进去拥拥挤挤的感觉，还去看了导游说的“千年古树”，很粗壮，就是不是知道是不是真的，几千年，确实，中国文化上下五千年啊！这一趟可以深深感受历史的熏陶！ See more..

5.0 Xianglu Temple (3 reviews)
- 西安の北４００キロぐらいにあって、香炉残照と称される仙境の寺です。
Wednesday: 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM Religious Sites

西安から陝西省を一路北への旅。今回の旅で、最北端にある日本の戦国時代に出来た寺です。黄河のほとりの絶壁に建っています。ここへたどり着くには、階段が何百段？としんぱいしますが、佳県（かけん）の町から
ゆっくりあるいて１時間かからずにたどり着けます。途中は市場あり、食べ物屋あり、ヨーロッパの城塞都市を思わせるロケーションでした。

3.5 Xianyang Binxian County Grand Buddha Temple (3 reviews)
- This Buddah is really cool but a little difficult to find.
Wednesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Religious Sites

After driving the 150km to Binxian we found the initial big tourist sign for the Big Buddah at the Binxian exit. Then followed the directions on this site to find nothing. In fact if you go look for the sign Dafosi and follow this as it's the correct sign. We enjoyed this historical site and particularly the big buddah. In fact even more than the Leshan big buddah. However it is a long drive with not much else to do upon arrival. See more..
5.0 Cuifeng Mountain Forest Park (3 reviews)

4.0 Jintai Taoist Abbey (3 reviews)
- A beautiful combination of old and new.
Wednesday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Ancient Ruins • Religious Sites

I've been to Jintai Abbey several times during the time I've lived in Baoji. Currently it is being expanded and new parts are being added. These are all very nice to look at, but the best part is the old shrines which are dug into the rock face. These open out into a courtyard surrounded by temple buildings and are often frequented by Taoist monks and nuns who are always surprised and happy to receive foreign visitors and always up for a chat. It's a bit of a climb to get there but definitely worth it. See more..
4.5 Xi'an Huayang Temple (3 reviews)
- 本地人最懂
Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Religious Sites

4.0 Dachongyang Longevity Palace (3 reviews)
- Beautiful place
Religious Sites

It is easy to access by pulic transit from Hu county. The admission is not expensive only RMB 25 for adult and half price for kids higher than 1.2m. Stone tablets are very attractive. The legend of the ancient tree revives after the master's tomb was restored from Chinese Culture Revolution is amazing. The expansion is under construction in the back during the visit. The ancient buildings need funds to protect. A holy Taoist worship place. The master is known by Chinese novel. See more..
3.5 Hancheng Town's God Temple (3 reviews)
- Glazed Tigers and Dragons
Points of Interest & Landmarks • Religious Sites

The entrance into this temple is through an alleyway decorated with a Ming-era screen depicting glazed dragons and tigers. Apart from this fine tile-work, the city temple offers a variety of halls and pavilions, some of them dating back to the Qing and Ming dynasties. It is a worthwhile stop on the way through Hancheng's old town, but it is much less impressive than the nearby Confucian complex. See more..

西安からバスで3時間、韓城のバスターミナルからはタクシーを捉まえて３ｋｍほど走った場所にある、元の時代に創建され明の時代に立て直された非常に小さな堂宇です。西遊記に題材をとった壁画と、彫刻の見事な祭壇を見ることが出来ます。訪れる人も少ないですが、「全国重点文物保護単位」に指定されている古建築です。 See more..

5.0 Cishan Temple (1 review)
- 体现隋代皇家风范，代表大唐盛世雄风
Wednesday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Religious Sites

陕西省宝鸡市麟游县慈善寺遗址位于麟游县城几公里远的地方，群山环抱，溪水绕流，环境优美不说，所保存下来的佛教造像之规格和历史价值无与伦比。此处佛教造像是隋唐皇家寺院的代表，雕刻工艺水平之高超堪称一绝。虽是在悬崖峭壁上雕造而成，但佛像目若止水，弟子形态可掬，菩萨忧民忧世的神态都表现出来，尤其是工匠通过高超的雕刻手法将佛、菩萨所穿衣服的质感也展现无遗。在粗糙坚硬的崖壁上能雕出柔软细腻的纺织品的质感，令人难以置信。如果是在石膏上雕出如此境界，已经是旷世奇艺，何况是在石头上，还是在悬崖峭壁的粗糙坚硬的石壁上，确实让人叹为观止，若不是亲眼所见，我也不会相信。 See more..

3.0 Bin County Great Buddha Temple (1 review)
- Great Big Buddah attraction but a little difficult to locate
Wednesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Ancient Ruins • Caverns & Caves • Religious Sites
We drove to Binxian at CNY Spring festival. We followed the big Buddah signs but found the attraction was actually called Dafosi and located in the wall grottoes. An inexpensive entry fee the real feature is the quality Big Buddah inside the large cave. It's quality and features being better than that at Leshan but not as tall. Overall worth the effort.
