Dongshan Zijin Nunnery
View 2 photos, or upload your photo.
Dongshan Zijin Nunnery, also known as Jin'an temple, was built in Tang Dynasty with a history of more than 1400 years. Sixteen painted sculpture arhats with vivied gestures and different faces make Zijin Nunnery a place special in the country. Jingyin Tang, behind Arhat Tang, was developed into an exhibition hall of cultural relics.
Tingsong Tang is a good place to enjoy a cup of tea, at the window of which you can hear the sound of billows of pine trees. People say that if there were two and a half halls of arhats, Zijin Nunnery can possess one hall. Statues of Arhat groups with sophisticated craftwork are representatives of Suzhou sculptures and colorful paintings in Qing Dynasty.

I am going to Suzhou in August. I am trying to keep the costs down on this trip. Is it cheaper to buy train and attraction tickets ahead of time? If so what are the most used websites for this service? Thanks
It could not be cheaper to buy train and attraction tickets ahead of time, but that can give you more convenience. I recommend the Chinatravel or Chinahighlights, where you can have the answer you wanted.
