Qingguo Lane, formerly known as "Qianguo Lane", is one of the ancient streets and alleys in Changzhou. It was built before the ninth year of the Ming Wanli era (1581) and is known as the "Number One Lane for Famous Scholars in Jiangnan". Qingguo Lane is located in the central southern part of Changzhou’s old city area, adjacent to the ancient canal to the south, starting from Zhengsu Lane to Jinling Middle Road to the west, leading directly to the commercial center of South Street, and ending at Gucun to the north. The entire block is about 400 meters long from east to west and 200 meters long from north to south, covering an area of approximately 8.7 hectares.

The Qingguo Lane block is mainly composed of buildings from the Ming, Qing, and Republic of China periods. It has one World Cultural Heritage site, three national key cultural heritage sites, five provincial key cultural heritage sites, six municipal key cultural heritage sites, and 39 general immovable cultural relics. Famous residences, ancestral temples, bridges, archways, stone tablets, Lin Quan Xuan Xie, ancient well docks, theater buildings, and school buildings are distributed throughout Changzhou, which is a "living fossil" of Changzhou’s national historical and cultural city. It presents the street style of "the river runs north and south, the street runs west and east" and the Jiangnan charm of "ancient alleys lead to secluded places, and families rest on the river". In 2014, the People’s Government of Jiangsu Province declared Qingguo Lane as a historical and cultural district.

Tianning Temple - the first jungle in the southeast (national AAAA level scenic spot), is a major tourist attraction in Changzhou and belongs to the Tianning Scenic Area section. Founded during the Yonghui period of the Tang Dynasty, originally named Guangfu Temple, it was renamed to its current name in the first year of the Zhenghe reign of the Northern Song Dynasty (1111 AD). Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty visited Jiangnan six times and went to Tianning Temple three times to offer incense and pay respects. He personally inscribed the plaque "Longcheng Xiangjiao" and the couplet "Harmony of the Three Molds, Radiance of Western India; Pronunciation of All Things, Boundary of Southern Orchids". Tianning Temple was listed as one of the key Buddhist temples in China in 1983, along with Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang, Gaomin Temple in Yangzhou, and Tiantong Temple in Ningbo, known as the four major jungles of Chinese Zen Buddhism.

It was founded in the Yonghui period of the Tang Dynasty (A.D. 650-655) and was initially named Guangfu Temple. It was renamed in the first year of Zhenghe period of the Northern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1111) and has a history of more than 1300 years.
