Dinglin Temple, Buddhist temple in Nanjing, China.
Situated on Fangshan mountain, Dinglin Temple contains multiple halls, courtyards, and a pagoda that reaches 14.50 meters in height.
The temple dates back over 1500 years to the Southern Dynasties period when Buddhist master Bodhidharma conducted religious activities at the lower temple section.
The temple remains an active center for Buddhist practice, featuring traditional Chinese architectural elements and serving as one of the Forty-eight Scenic Spots of Jinling.
The temple welcomes visitors daily from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM with an entrance fee of 40 RMB, accessible via bus 812 from Tianyin Avenue metro station.
