Is kokuseiji open for Spring Festival?

Guoqing Scenic Area (Guoqing Lecture Temple) is temporarily closed to the public on New Year's Eve (the evening of January 21st), but it is normally opened during the day during the Spring Festival, with the opening hours from 7: to 16: .

kokuseiji is located in Tiantai Mountain Scenic Area and is the ancestral home of Tiantai Sect of Buddhism. It should be noted that the opening hours of temples may change due to weather, holidays, maintenance and other factors, so visitors should check the latest opening information in advance when planning to go. Kokuseiji is located in Chengguan Town, Tiantai County, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province. It was founded in the 18th year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty (598), and was originally named Tiantai Temple. Later, it was renamed as kokuseiji. The temple covers an area of 73, square meters. Kokuseiji was originally built according to the style painted by the wise man, the founder of Tiantai Sect. After the wise man founded Tiantai Sect, he wanted to build a temple as the official ancestral home of the Sect, but limited by funds, he could not start construction. In his last suicide note, King Jin said, "If you don't see the temple, you will hate it." Yang Guang, King of Jin (later Emperor Yangdi), was very moved when he saw the book, so he sent Sima Wanghong to supervise the construction of kokuseiji. The newly-built kokuseiji Temple is located on the front slope of Baguifeng, about 1 meters behind the Ursa Major Hall.
