Dating back to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period 🏯, the Ancient Guanyin Temple and Baiyi Pavilion Temple stand as quiet witnesses to centuries of devotion. A covered walkway connects the two temples 🚶♀️, allowing visitors to seamlessly explore both sites in a single visit.
Inside the Guanyin Temple, you’ll find a national first-class cultural relic — a Thousand-Armed, Thousand-Eyed Guanyin Bodhisattva statue intricately carved from ginkgo wood 🌳🪵. This rare treasure is believed to date back to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, making it not only spiritually significant but also an artistic masterpiece. 🎨
Though the temple grounds are compact, the layout is well-organized and the atmosphere is deeply serene yet vibrant with incense offerings 🕯️✨.
Together, these two sacred spaces offer a peaceful retreat steeped in history, where you can admire the artistry, reflect in silence, and experience the enduring strength of faith. 🌸🕊️
