Big Buddha Temple There is a Big Buddha Temple in the urban area of ​​Emeishan City, Sichuan Province, which is now renamed Big Buddha Temple. This temple has a very long history, but it was later destroyed for various reasons. The Big Buddha Temple is a large-scale Buddhist temple complex built in a different location based on the cultural relics of the Big Buddha Temple. It enshrines four famous Bodhisattvas: Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Manjusri Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. Finally, there is the Main Hall and the Sutra Library. In addition to the temple buildings, there are also corresponding garden landscapes, which are very exquisite. Moreover, it is still under construction. Compared with ancient temples, modern temples have achieved great progress in construction technology, so their scale, design, grandeur, and overall layout are beyond the reach of ancient technology. The Big Buddha Temple in Mount Emei is an example. The Big Buddha Temple used to charge a 58-yuan entrance ticket or incense voucher, but now it no longer charges that and admission is free. If you enter from the north gate, there will be voluntary explanations by lay Buddhists. Of course, they will also recommend some Buddha worship programs for free, and participation is voluntary.

While visiting Dujiangyan, I found a place suitable for zoning out and calming the mind. Here, you can calm down and appreciate the charm of ancient architecture, enjoying your own time to the fullest. Dafo Zen Temple is really big, besides various halls and all kinds of immortals, it also has its own garden and lake, which is especially worth visiting for a leisurely stroll and zoning out. 📍: Emei Mountain·Dafo Zen Temple 🚉: 274 Fuguang South Road (next to Emei Mountain Buddhist College) 🎫: 20 per person

Entering from the archway is Daguangming Street, which is outside the Big Buddha Temple. Daguangming Street is a newly built ancient street, similar to Jiading Square in Leshan, with theater buildings, grand theaters, souvenir shops, etc. The afternoon sun is very feminine on the streets. However, after we came out from the Big Buddha Temple, people came and went in the streets, and most of them were nearby people who went for a dinner after dinner. There were also many tourist buses parked on the street, and the tour group went to the Grand Theatre to watch the show at night.

The entire Buddha Temple is magnificent, along the central axis, including the archway, Daguangming Street, Shanmen, Peacock Mingwang Hall, Maitreya Hall, Dizang Hall, Pharmacist Hall, Wenshu Hall, Guanyin Temple, Puxian Hall, Daxiong Hall, Zangjing Building, Giant The whole temple is very large, and it takes an hour to walk around. Tickets for Dafo Temple are 58 yuan/person, the Zen Temple, the beautiful architecture, and the Emeishan Buddhist Temple is worth a visit.
