Around the country series 137 Xinchang Dafo Temple

🌈Historical background: Founded in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Southern Dynasty literary theorist Liu Xie praised: 'Unworldly treasure, unparalleled achievement'. During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, it was called Shifo Temple. In the ninth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, the Pilu Pavilion was rebuilt, with three floors and five poles, 13.5 feet high, and the temple name was changed to Pilu Pavilion. Later, the Taoist soldiers were burned, and the halls were all destroyed, only the ten-foot golden body Maitreya Buddha statue survived. 🚗Highlights: National 4A-level tourist attraction, the whole temple is characterized by grotto statues, the scale of the Buddha statue is huge, the history is long, there is a stone Maitreya Buddha with a history of more than 1,600 years, the total height is 16.3 meters, and the distance between the two knees is 10.6 meters.
