🏮🕌 Chenghuang Temple

Walking into Chenghuang Temple was like stepping into a different rhythm of the city. The bustle of city softened into something more textured layers of incense, red lanterns swaying overhead, and the sound of soft prayers mixed with laughter from nearby stalls. We passed through the main gate and immediately felt the shift: the blend of reverence and everyday life. People came with offerings, but also to meet friends, buy snacks, sit under the eaves. It felt lived-in, not distant 🌸🧧🙏 The temple itself was intricate carvings along the beams, quiet courtyards tucked between halls, the scent of old wood and incense smoke lingering in the air. We lit joss sticks, not out of obligation, but because the space invited stillness. Just beyond the temple, the old streets stretched out with food and chatter, a reminder that this sacred spot has always stood right in the flow of life.✨⛩️🌇 #chinatravel #travel #myitinerary
