Want to go to Jiangsu

Hi, I want to attend a zen retreat at a temple that I don't know its name in English. This is a very old temple of Patriarch'zen where the Buđhist monks organize zen retreat in November each year for people all around the world coming for it. I am now living in Los Angeles (the United States of America). Could you tell me how to go there by air planes. What air port will I arrive in the province? How long from there to the zen temple will I take? and how much the ticket fare I have to pay? Thank you in advance.

Hi, I think you should mean Qixia Temple in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. The zen retreat falls on some day of November according to Chinese lunar calendar each year.
From Los Angeles to Nanjing should be your choice. Lukily, there is direct flight from Los Angeles to Nanjing. It costs about CNY 4200 or more.
About the transport from the Nanjing Airport to Qixia Temple, I suggest you take the airport shuttle bus line 1 (Chengsong Line) to Nanjing Railway Station. Then you can walk to the West Square of the railway station to take bus Nanshang Line and get off at Qixia Temple station. The shuttle bus fare and the city bus fare is about CNY 23.
From the airport to Qixia Temple, it may take about 1.5 h or a little more.
