Chengdu's biggest and best-preserved Buddhist site, Wenshu Temple is in fact a Qing-era (1644-1911) reconstruction of a Tang dynasty (618-907 AD) original. A still-working monastery, the bustling site encompasses a series of buildings (including the Hall of Lokapala, the Hall of Three Bodhisattvas, the Precious Hall of Sakyamuni, the Buddhist Lecture Hall and the Scriptures Hall) arranged around courtyards alive with prayer and incense smoke. The surrounding streets are full of vendors selling all kinds of Buddhist paraphernalia, and you'll have ample opportunity to buy and light your own joss sticks and paper money, or pick up a Buddhist statuette as a souvenir.
