    Regarding the one-yuan entrance fee, an old monk mentioned in an interview that it's purely for statistical purposes – to count the number of visitors. There's no commercial intent behind it.

      I had the chance to visit back in 2012, and their vegetarian noodles were amazing. That's actually when I started to love bamboo shoots.

        I used to adore this temple. About ten years ago, I chanced upon it during a snowfall, and the Mudu Ancient Town at the foot of the mountain was lovely to explore too. However, on a later visit, the entire ascent was filled with blaring announcements about not burning incense and loud music. That tranquil Zen atmosphere was completely shattered.

          The temple doesn't allow incense burning?

            I've seen quite a few aerial videos online. What problem did the blogger run into?

              Got 'greeted' by security with an anti-drone jammer. Nearly wrecked my drone.

                Hey OP, have you ever been to Baihe Temple? I passed by once and was absolutely stunned. I'm not in Suzhou anymore, so could you check it out for me?

                    Casually labeling things and acting like a know-it-all is disrespectful to history and other people. Jumping to conclusions without in-depth understanding is simply a sign of ignorance.

                      The OP is 1000% not a local.

                        It's right near my home.

                            How did you get the impression that it's 'high and mighty'? That's a bit baffling. I've always found it very approachable and down-to-earth.

                              To see the cats.

                                If you want to see cats, you should go to Xiyuan Garden. There are more of them there, and they're friendlier.
