Bailin Temple
Berlin Temple was founded during the Jian'an period of Emperor Guangwu of the Han dynasty. Before Xuanzang's journey to India to seek Buddhist scriptures, he came to study with Daoshen, a famous monk, at this temple.
The main buildings in the temple include a gate, a pagoda, and a main hall, with a statue of the Buddha made of ten-ton white jade and gold. The statue is a representation of the Buddha Shakyamuni.
Every year, Berlin Temple holds a "Summer Camp for Lay Buddhists." Participants stay at the temple for seven days, participating in various activities such as morning and evening services, sitting meditation, listening to Buddhist lectures, tea-drinking and heart-to-heart discussions, and hiking.
To visit Berlin Temple, take the bus from Shijiazhuang Railway Station to Nanjiao Bus Terminal. Then, catch a direct bus to Berlin Temple in Zhao County.
Admission to the temple is free, but there is a cost for staying at the guesthouse, which includes meals. The guesthouse is open from 08:00 to 16:00 daily.
Please note that the temple is closed on Mondays.
