Shēn Sōngjū Shēn Sōng Jū Sù Cài Guǎn Pine Lodge

The Linggu Temple is a Buddhist tempel, located 1.5 kilometers east of the sun Yat-sen mausoleum. if this will be part of their travel agenda while visiting purple mountain region in nanjing, they will have the opportunity to eat in the pine lodge vegetarian restaurant. they are likely to arrive by taxi or bus and have to run about 10-15 minutes from the linggu park south gate. there will be a sign on the path showing the direction pine lodge. they will go up a stairs to the tempel and then turn a right hand and follow the way for another 50 meters. they need to read someone in their party Chinese because the menu has no English translation. the staff that served the day we were there, did not speak English. the other challenge is that the menu relatiw is small, only about 8 selects. we ordered the brokkoli with the oyster mushrooms of the king and the paved soy ridges and steamed rice. the food was nicely flavored and plated. eating is expensive according to China standards, as we have paid 140 rmb for both main dishes and two bowl rice. there is no air conditioning in the main dining room, but we were offered a small private dining room with A/C. there is no compelling reason to feed in the pine lodge unless they make a certain trip to linggu temple.
