Day 2 Taiyuan → Guanyin Temple → Iron Buddha Temple → Stay in Gaoping
All day
After breakfast, we followed the teacher's footsteps and headed south to the Changzhi Guanyin Hall to experience the shocking beauty of the hanging sculptures.
Built during the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty, the Guanyin Hall houses over 500 statues of various sizes within this small, three-room hall. It is one of the three best-preserved Ming Dynasty hanging sculptures in Shanxi Province. Entering the hall, one cannot help but be captivated, transported by a breathtaking, vibrant world of art. The statues, some seated on the altar, some leaning against the gables, some resting on pillars, and some gazing from the rafters, range from majestic and powerful to graceful and elegant, some serene and benevolent, and some possessing a handsome expression. From the Eighteen Arhats, the Twenty-Four Devas, and the Twelve Perfect Enlightenment Bodhisattvas to the popular deities of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, interspersed with pavilions, towers, exotic flowers, and auspicious clouds and lightning, the hall is truly a feast for the eyes! This is a true record of the religious beliefs and spiritual aspirations of the people of the Shangdang region during the Ming Dynasty. It also exemplifies the mutual learning and integration of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism over thousands of years of historical development. It vividly embodies the unique intertwining dynamics of religion in my country and serves as a valuable resource for studying the historical development of Chinese religion and folk beliefs.
We will visit [Gaoping Iron Buddha Temple] "Black Myth: Wukong" is a hit online, why do you prefer this place?
Gaoping Iron Buddha Temple, named after an Iron Buddha statue that was returned to the temple in the seventh year of the Jin Dynasty's Dading reign, gained widespread public attention in 2010 during a field trip by faculty and students from the Sculpture Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. The temple stands as a tangible example of the transitional evolution of local architectural styles from the Jin and Yuan dynasties to the Ming dynasty. The 27 existing statues are arranged in the order of the Twenty-Four Heavenly Kings, with the Four Heavenly Kings at the corners and Yang Jian and Guan Yu at the southern end, a distinctly southeastern Shanxi style. Each statue is constructed with extensive iron wire, embodying the core construction technique of "iron for the skeleton and iron for the form," imbuing the painted sculptures with a sense of depth and dimension. The sculptures' bold silhouettes, exaggerated body language and expressions, and richly layered drapery are truly unique and unparalleled. You will surely be deeply moved by this artistic technique of exaggeration.
After a fun day out, we headed to Gaoping to check in. Everyone can enjoy Gaoping's specialties, including meatball soup, roasted tofu, red noodles, ten bowls of rice, roasted noodles, pig skin jelly, and more.
Day 3 Gaoping → Chongqing Temple → Chongming Temple → Gaodu Dongyue Temple → Stay in Jincheng
All day
After breakfast, we headed to Chongqing Temple in Changzhi to experience the thousand-year-old beauty of the "Crown of Song Dynasty Sculptures" amidst the mountain breeze.
Built during the Northern Song Dynasty, Chongqing Temple, surrounded on three sides by mountains, is tranquil and exquisite. Its Thousand Buddha Hall is hailed as a "masterpiece of small, hip-and-gable-roofed wooden architecture from the early Northern Song Dynasty." The altar within the hall features one Buddha and two Bodhisattvas, with a reclining Guanyin statue behind them. The Eighteen Arhats in the Great Bodhisattva Hall are the earliest known surviving statues with precise dating. In June 1993, renowned sculptor Qian Shaowu, after inspecting them, praised them as "the crowning achievement of Song Dynasty sculpture," imbued with a profound sense of humanity. The Heavenly Kings in the Heavenly King Hall are the only and largest surviving Ming Dynasty colored sculptures in Changzhi. In Black Myth: Wukong, the Ten Yama Kings of Chongqing Temple are cleverly integrated into the game's landscape, serving as a mysterious bridge connecting the human world and the netherworld. Rendering effects have been applied to these ancient statues, imbuing them with new life. Players feel as if they've traveled through time and space, witnessing these guardians of the netherworld firsthand and experiencing the mystery and majesty of ancient legends.
Afterwards, we went to Chongming Temple, the oldest ancient building in my country, with its thousand-year-old broken beam structure.
Chongming Temple was founded during the Kaibao period of the Northern Song Dynasty. The Central Buddha Hall is its core building. Its unique "broken beam" structure is rare in China. A pair of "broken beams" support the main beam, and the combination of two small beams breaks the traditional horizontal beam structure, which shows that small materials can be used for big things. It can be seen that while inheriting the construction technology from the Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty craftsmen were also seeking new transformations. In addition, the depth of the external eaves of Chongming Temple reaches 5 meters, exceeding the Wanfo Hall of Pingyao Zhenguo Temple during the Five Dynasties period. The entire building is majestic and ancient.
Afterwards, we went to Gaodu Dongyue Temple to see the rare Jin Dynasty Taoist colored sculptures.
The Tianqi Hall of the Gaodu Dongyue Temple in Zezhou, Jincheng, Shanxi, houses exquisitely preserved Taoist colored sculptures from the Jin Dynasty. The Gaodu Dongyue Temple was first built during the Dading reign of the Jin Dynasty, with the Tianqi Hall representing the original Jin dynasty, while the rest were rebuilt during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The Daqi Hall houses the Great Emperor Equal to Heaven, and its columns are inscribed with inscriptions of alms given during the Dading reign. The temple's altar base is a waisted Sumeru-style structure, richly carved with powerful figures and various floral designs, boasting exquisite carvings. The surrounding stone gates, including the side panels, lintels, and thresholds, are all constructed of stone, showcasing ancient forms and well-proportioned proportions. The carvings feature intricate patterns, including lotus, peony, and a child born from the dead. The intricate designs, executed with refined craftsmanship, make this a masterpiece of the Jin Dynasty.
After a fun day out, check in to Jincheng for the night and enjoy a variety of local specialties, including meatball instant noodles, fried jelly, hot pot noodles, and zhuang noodles.
Day 4: Jincheng → Jincheng Jade Emperor Temple → Qinglian Temple → Jincheng Xiaonan Village Erxian Temple → Stay in Yicheng
All day
After breakfast, we headed to the Jincheng Jade Emperor Temple, a masterpiece in the history of Chinese sculpture, a rare Taoist Twenty-Eight Constellations painted sculpture.
The Jade Emperor Temple's various halls contain statues from the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties. The Yuan Dynasty statues of the Twenty-Eight Constellations are the most impressive in the temple. Inferred to be the work of the great Yuan Dynasty sculptor Liu Luan, these statues are characterized by Greek noses, slender waists, and rich and profound facial expressions, representing the pinnacle of ancient Chinese sculpture. The Twenty-Eight Constellations painted sculptures exemplify the fusion of realism and romanticism in ancient Chinese sculpture, fully leveraging the maximum and richest expressive potential of clay sculpture. Some deities are as calm as water, while others are extraordinarily flamboyant. Their flowing clothing creates a sense of presence outside the temple, evoking a celestial palace, evoking the feeling of "the gates of the Nine Heavens open to the throne, and the people of all nations pay homage to the emperor."
Special Note: For tourists who have previously participated in the "Clouds and Mists on the Wall" tour and visited the Jade Emperor Temple, we will inform the instructor in advance to expand our understanding from a different perspective. The Jade Emperor Temple is best viewed in the morning, which is when the light is brighter. If you do not wish to visit the Jade Emperor Temple a second time, you can visit the nearby Fucheng Guandi Temple (National Highway 7) at your own convenience before reuniting with the main group.
Afterwards, we went to Qinglian Temple, where people were reborn after drowning and flowers bloomed for a thousand years. The beauty of the Tang Dynasty is not limited to Dunhuang, and the peak of Tang Dynasty sculptures in Shanxi.
Qinglian Temple is divided into the Upper Temple and the Lower Temple. The Upper Temple, built during the Tianbao period of the Northern Qi Dynasty, boasts ten steles inscribed with calligraphy from the Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties, featuring regular, cursive, official, and seal scripts. These inscriptions are valuable resources for studying temple history and calligraphy. The Lower Temple, built during the second year of the Tang Dynasty's Dahe era, comprises two main halls, the North and South Halls, and a stupa. The seven painted sculptures within the Maitreya Hall are relics of the Tang Dynasty. Qinglian Temple is renowned for its 54 existing Tang and Song Dynasty painted sculptures, the Song Dynasty sculptures employing four different gilding techniques. These techniques, a product of contemporary innovation, imbue each statue with a profound sense of history. Within the ancient Qinglian Temple, the Guanyin statue, a double-sided woven wall halo, is particularly striking. This statue, unlike the more common female Guanyin, features a rare male figure, highlighting the unique charm of ancient Buddhist culture.
During the summer and autumn of 2021, Qinglian Temple faced the threat of flooding after three consecutive periods of heavy rain. The sustained, exceptionally heavy rainfall, unprecedented in a century, plunged this ancient temple, nestled deep in the mountains, into a critical situation. After three years of concerted efforts, Qinglian Temple was successfully salvaged and repaired, marking a valuable exploration of social participation in post-disaster cultural relic restoration.
Afterwards, we will visit the Erxian Temple in Xiaonan Village, Jincheng, the local guardian goddess of Shangdang area, and their magnificent heavenly palaces and pavilions.
Erxian Temple is dedicated to the two sisters known as the "Zhenze Erxian," and is primarily a folk cult. The "Zhenze Erxian" refers to two sisters, Chonghui and Chongshu, who lived in a village near Lingchuan and Huguan in ancient times. The sisters sought spiritual cultivation in the Western Mountains and ultimately achieved enlightenment. They benefited the people of southeastern Shanxi, granting them their prayers. To express their gratitude, the local people built temples and set up censers for their worship. This explains the abundance of Erxian Temples in southeastern Shanxi. According to statistics, there are over 50 Erxian Temples throughout the region, and the Jincheng Erxian Temple boasts the oldest preserved statues of the two immortals in the region. The main hall is a classic Northern Song Dynasty wooden structure. Inside, a stunning wooden shrine, the "Heavenly Palace Pavilion," is intricately detailed with brackets, double-height corridors, and multi-story pavilions. The complex, breathtaking structure is a reference to the "Yingzaofashi" (Architectural Style). The Song Dynasty statues flanking it are also incredibly lifelike.
Stay in Yicheng to rest in the evening. You can enjoy local specialties such as Yicheng Ten Bowls, Stone Cake, Beef Cart, Oil-fried Dough, and Jiangshui Noodles.
5th Tianyicheng County → Taiyin Temple → Longxing Temple → Sanguan Temple → Fusheng Temple → Stay in Linfen
All day
After breakfast, we will go to Taiyin Temple. The reclining Buddha has been lying there for more than 800 years. This posture is so comfortable. It turns out that the comfort of Shanxi people is inherited from their ancestors.
Taiyin Temple, commonly known as the Reclining Buddha Temple, was first built during the Northern Wei Dynasty. Facing south, it sits on a central axis, with the mountain gate, north hall, and south hall arranged along its central axis from north to south. The South Hall is five bays wide and three bays deep, with a single-eaved gable roof. A wooden plaque reading "Main Hall" hangs beneath the eaves and was inscribed in the second year of the Jin Dynasty's Da'an reign. A wooden niche in the center of the hall houses a reclining wooden statue of Sakyamuni. Measuring four meters long and one and a half meters high, it is hailed as "the largest single-wood reclining Buddha statue in China," its poised expression exudes a sense of relaxation. Taiyin Temple is home to the National Library and is considered the primary site for the engraving and printing of the library's treasure, the Zhaocheng Golden Canon. The wooden niche and painted sculptures of the Three Bodhisattvas in the South Hall, as well as the mural depicting Buddhist disciples mourning in the fifth year of the Ming Dynasty's Hongwu reign, are all rare treasures. A Yuan Dynasty painted sculpture of the Bodhisattva Shugong and a Yuan Dynasty stele recording the origins of the Zhaocheng Golden Canon are also breathtaking.
Afterwards, we headed to Longxing Temple to climb the Tang Dynasty pagoda, descend the ancient tomb, and gaze at the Gothic church that blends Chinese and Western styles.
Longxing Temple, originally named Biluo Temple, was built in the Tang Dynasty. It boasts numerous attractions, including the only surviving fragment of a small Tang Dynasty seal-script stele, the "Pilu Stele," a painted sculpture of the "Three Buddhas" from the Song and Jin Dynasties, and the 43.7-meter-tall Longxing Pagoda, a Tang Dynasty treasure considered one of the "Three National Treasures" and a treasure of exceptional cultural value. This octagonal, 13-story brick pagoda is a landmark of Xinjiang. Building upon the remains of an eight-story Song Dynasty pagoda, each level boasts an inscription, reflecting its rich history and cultural heritage. Inside, the pagoda is dark and cool, but navigating it is challenging, requiring both hands and feet. Then, when you sit on the exposed pagoda, listening to the ringing bells and overlooking the small town of Xinjiang and the distant Xinjiang Church, you'll feel as if you're in another country!
After having fun, we went to the Sanguan Temple, where the gods have bestowed blessings upon us and where we can see the treasures of the Yuan Dynasty hidden in the city.
The Sanguan Temple, commonly known as the Gourd Temple, is located in Hanjia Lane within the ancient city of Xinjiang. Facing east and west, it is a small temple consisting of a gatehouse/offering hall and a main hall, both closely connected. Founded in the first year of the Zhizheng reign of the Yuan Dynasty, the main hall features painted statues of the "Three Officials" (Yuanshi Tianzun, Taishang Laojun, and Taishang Daojun), as well as Tianpeng and Heisha generals. There are also four officials, two elders, and two guardian deities with animal faces and human bodies. These statues were created during the Yuan Dynasty, the same period as the temple's construction. Despite its small size, the statues show no noticeable fading, and the folds and sleeves of the painted sculptures display a fine texture, demonstrating the sculptural and painting skills of local Yuan Dynasty artisans and possessing high artistic value.
Afterwards, we will enter Fusheng Temple, where the Guanyin of Crossing the Sea comes on the clouds, and the road ahead will be bright and glorious.
Fusheng Temple, founded during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, rests on a massive, five-meter-high platform. Its Amitabha Hall, five rooms square, is surrounded by a corridor and features a double-eaved, nine-ridged roof. Five-fold brackets are arranged in a double-beveled pattern, and the four-rafter beams intersect with the rear beams, a characteristic feature of Yuan Dynasty architecture. The temple houses over 30 painted and suspended sculptures from the Yuan and Ming dynasties, each vividly rendered with meticulous detail. The "Intoxicatingly Beautiful Crossing the Sea Guanyin" is particularly striking. The Guanyin steps upon auspicious clouds, traversing the waves, flanked by a child. The Ming Wang, a fierce and furious figure, faces a backdrop of sea and clouds, creating a distinct, turbulent scene. The water and auspicious clouds behind the Crossing the Sea Guanyin are depicted with a gradual zooming effect, creating a sense of movement from afar. The undulating waves create a sense of movement, accentuating the figure's presence and creating a sense of ethereal presence. This technique, rarely seen in ancient sculpture, creates a powerful visual impact, making it a truly exceptional work of art.
Stay in Linfen to rest at night
Day 6 Linfen → Niuwang Temple Stage → Jiexiu Museum → Zoroastrianism Building → Houtu Temple → Overnight in Jiexiu
All day
After breakfast, we went to the Niuwang Temple Stage to play with laughter, anger, singing, reciting and fighting. The small square stage was full of songs from many autumns.
Built during the Yuan Dynasty, the Niuwang Temple stage, facing south and north, rests on a 1.4-meter-high brick base. It is the second oldest surviving stage in China and has survived an 8.0 magnitude earthquake. The stage, a wooden pavilion-style stage, is square in plan. Its structure, constructed with large eaves, evokes the aesthetics of traditional Leting stages from the Song and Jin dynasties. Its three open sides allow for a wider audience view from both the front and sides. Another ingenious aspect of the Niuwang Temple stage is the presence of columns only on the sides of the stage entrance. Unlike Ming and Qing Dynasty stages, which typically spanned three bays, the presence of four columns at the stage entrance increases the viewing angle and enhances the audience's experience. Don't miss the inscription on the stone pillar at the front: "Erected in the third spring of the 20th year of the Yuan Dynasty in the Mongol Empire." This inscription confirms its status as a nationally protected site.
Afterwards, we headed to the Jiexiu Museum. Why did I keep looking up when I came to Shanxi? It turned out to be the small ridge beasts on the eaves. Enter the hometown of Chinese glass.
Don't miss these highlights when visiting the Jiexiu Museum: First, the museum's treasured treasure: a two-meter-tall, one-ton, yellow-green-blue-glazed ridged chiwen (a gargoyle) from the main hall of the Yuanshen Temple in Shitun Village, Hongshan Town. This chiwen features an open-mouthed, swallowing ridge, a rear-mounted beast, and a giant dragon circling upward. Its dorsal fin and tail are glazed blue, while its scales are golden. The beast, with its vibrant yellow-green glaze and varied forms, represents the pinnacle of Jiexiu glassware from the Ming Dynasty. Second, a Ming Dynasty yellow-glazed ridged beast, named "Xiezhi," has large, black eyes that look both aggrieved and adorable, creating a silly emoji that has earned it the nickname "Weiweibao" (a grievance-filled emoticon) and has become a viral online sensation. The third one is a yellow-blue glazed ridge decoration with four lions lifting a vase. It was originally the top decoration of the bell and drum tower of the Five Mountains Temple in Jiexiu. There was originally a vase in the middle of the four lions, and its homophonic meaning means "peace in everything, peace at all times, peace in all seasons, and peace for all generations"!
Afterwards we headed to the Zoroastrian Tower, the only surviving Zoroastrian building and one of the four famous towers in Shanxi.
Zoroastrianism, an ancient religious sect originating from Persia, is distinguished by its sacred fire altar. In China, it is known as "Zoroastrianism," "Fire Worship," or "Fire Zoroastrianism." According to the Tang Dynasty writer Zhang Ju's "Chaoye Qianzai," the Zoroastrian temples in Luoyang were bustling with activity on days of worship and prayer. Merchants from far and wide flocked to cook pork and mutton, play pipa, drums, and flutes, singing and dancing to witness the mysterious magic of Zoroastrianism. The Longmen Grottoes also contain Zoroastrian statue caves. Today, Zoroastrianism has largely disappeared from China, and the only way to glimpse its former glory is through the Jiexiu Zoroastrian Tower. Combining a stage, an east building, and a street-crossing tower, it features a three-eaved, cross-shaped hip roof. Entirely constructed of wood and clad in glazed tiles, it resembles a breathtaking, cascading emerald mountain range from afar.
Afterwards, we went to [Jiexiu Houtu Temple], the dopamine of the ancient world, to Jiexiu to see the colorful glass
Jiexiu Houtu Temple is a Quanzhen Taoist temple, facing south. Its main buildings, the Sanqing Tower, the Xian Tower, and the Opera Tower, are integrated into a single structure. Its cross-shaped, hip-and-gable glazed roof is a rare masterpiece of Ming and Qing dynasty pavilion-style architecture. The three temples to the west of the temple, including those for Lü Zu, Guandi, and the Earth God, and the three connected terraces, are even more rare in China. Within the Sanqing Temple, thousands of Ming Dynasty colored sculptures depicting the "Wansheng Chaoyuan" (Ten Thousand Saints Paying Homage to the Origin) are preserved. The glass art of Jiexiu Houtu Temple is considered a model of ancient Chinese glass art. The side walls are adorned with glass ornaments depicting the "Qilin Confronting the Eight Treasures" and "Two Dragons Confronting the Sea." The purple and white glass grapes on the windscreen panels are incredibly vivid and lifelike, almost as if they were real. One truly admires the glass artisans of Jiexiu!
Special experience for tourists: Here we will have a deep understanding of the glass making process, experience the glass coloring process, and feel the charm of Shanxi's intangible cultural heritage.
Stay in Jiexiu to rest at night. You can enjoy Jiexiu's local specialties such as Guanxiantang, Youhuahua, Shakedandan, Yintiaocai, Dandan noodles, etc.
Day 7 Jiexiu → Taiheyan Glazed Archway → Fenyang Taifu Temple → Northern Qi Mural Museum → Taiyuan Airport/High-speed Railway Station/Train Station Disband
All day
After breakfast, we will visit the Taiheyan Glazed Archway, the most beautiful of the only 13 remaining glazed archways in China!
The Taiheyan Archway, known locally as the "Glass Archway," was built in the 23rd year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. Its unparalleled royal peacock blue glass is a breathtaking sight. Its rich decorative designs, ranging from dragons and auspicious animals to flowers, birds, fish, insects, figures and landscapes, to couplets and plaques, are particularly striking. The text, particularly the wording, incorporates both Taoist metaphors and traditional Chinese aspirations for good fortune, longevity, and peace. This fully reflects the wisdom and talent of the ancients, and represents a masterpiece of Chinese glass art during its heyday during the Ming and Qing dynasties.
After having fun, we went to [Fenyang Taifu Temple]
Taifu Temple is located in Shangmiao Village, Xinghua Village, Fenyang. The existing Hall of the Jade Emperor of Heaven is the original Jin Dynasty structure, while the remaining structures were built during the Ming Dynasty. From south to north, the central axis features a screen wall, an archway, a reverse stage, and the Hall of the Jade Emperor of Heaven (flanked by the Hall of the Holy Mother of Earth and the Hall of the Five Mountains). Taifu Temple boasts a majestic, elegant, and aesthetically pleasing aesthetic, a model of ancient architectural art. The murals at Taifu Temple, like those at Yongle Palace, are both treasures. These murals depict the "Chao Yuan Tu" (Palace of Worship of the Origin) depicting the 365 daily deities. Unlike the "Chao Yuan Tu" at Yongle Palace in Ruicheng, each set of murals is inscribed with inscriptions such as "Daluo Yuanshi Tianzun" and "Lingbao Yuanshuai Zhenjun." At Taifu Temple, it's hard to know where to look; every detail deserves careful scrutiny.
After having fun, we went to the Northern Qi Mural Museum to immerse ourselves in the thousand-year-old murals, which have been seen thousands of times in Shanxi!
The Taiyuan Northern Qi Mural Museum is a site-specific museum dedicated to tomb murals. Relying on the original preservation and display of Xu Xianxiu's tomb, it showcases murals from the Lou Rui and Xu Xianxiu tombs in Taiyuan, as well as from Jiuyuangang in Xinzhou and Shuiquanliang in Shuozhou. These murals depict the early pluralistic unity of the Chinese nation and the evolutionary integration of agricultural and nomadic cultures. They are irreplaceable treasures for studying grassland history and culture, and a model for the exchange and mutual learning between Eastern and Western civilizations. Through glass doors, visitors can personally walk along the over 20-meter-long path and the beautiful murals flanking it. This unique approach to in-situ preservation not only preserves the murals' pristine appearance, creating a sense of time travel back to that glorious era, but also leverages digital technologies like 3D, AR, and VR for an immersive viewing experience. Donning VR glasses will bring the long-forgotten beauty of the murals to life! There are also many exquisite cultural and creative exhibits here, so don't miss them!
After having fun, we will reluctantly end our trip and head to Taiyuan Airport/High-Speed Railway Station/Train Station to disband the group.
It is expected to arrive at Taiyuan Wusu Airport at 17:00, Taiyuan South Railway Station at 17:30, and Taiyuan Railway Station at 17:50. It is recommended to buy flights after 19:00 and trains after 18:30.
If your flight or train doesn't match the drop-off time, you can leave the Northern Qi murals early and take a taxi to the airport/high-speed rail station/train station according to your train schedule. The taxi ride takes about 0.5 hours, which is very convenient.
