    The temple directly brushes the ID card into it, free. Nanchan Temple has a lot fewer people than the Buddha Guang Temple, suitable for a person to slowly taste and appreciate. Unfortunately, during May 1st, I encountered sand and dust. . Grey

    For ancient architecture enthusiasts, Nanchan Temple is a place to worship. After all, this is the oldest existing wooden structure in China, built in 782 in the Tang Dynasty. Nanchan Temple is far from Wutai Mountain Scenic Area. It must be chartered or driven by car, and it takes more than an hour to drive. The temple is free to visit, and you can also see the statues of the Tang Dynasty in the hall. In a word, the most worth seeing in Wutai Mountain is Nanchan Temple and Buddha Guang Temple!

    Under the aura of China's earliest wooden structure, it is actually a small house. The Tang plastic inside is very wonderful

    #National Treasure# Tour, Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes so far, why not go to Shanxi first? Nanchan Temple, Wutai County, Zhangzhou, Shanxi Province, the existing store was built in Tang Dezong for three years, more than 1200 years, is the oldest existing Tang Dynasty wooden structure in China, can be called the back pillar of the National Treasure Palace as a relic of the Sui Dynasty. The sculptures of the Tang Dynasty in the Temple are exquisite and can be called the treasures of the sculpture art of the Tang Dynasty. They have important historical status and artistic value. Because of their remote location, they have never been seen in various classics, and they were not known until the 1950s. Although the hall is not as magnificent as Foguang Mountain, it is smaller and more exquisite, and it shows the beauty of the building. Unfortunately, the cultural relics dealers are also staring at this precious national treasure. At about 7 pm on November 24, 1999, three gangsters broke into Nanchan Temple, tied up the custody personnel, cut off the telephone line, smashed the steel mesh door lock of the Buddha altar, opened the Buddha statue of the Tang Dynasty, grabbed the treasure in the stomach, and the back of Wenshu Bodhisattva was also pulled out, and the remaining statues were also damaged. Two of the most beautiful "like palace babies" in the Tang Dynasty were sawed off and robbed, and the statue of the lion child was also broken from the heel. Whenever you think of the evil deeds of these cultural relics dealers, people have to be particularly angry. Unfortunately, the lost cultural relics have not been heard so far, and there is no way to find them.
