"Chongshan Temple" Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, China, Thousand-Armed Thousand-Eyed Kannon, a masterpiece, a must-see!! The vermilion color of the exterior is lustrous!! 🇨🇳

"Chongshan Temple" is the only historical site in the center of Taiyuan... It is the headquarters of the Shanxi Provincial Buddhist Association and was founded in the Tang Dynasty. Now, only the "Great Compassion Hall" remains, and it is said to be in the Ming Dynasty architectural style. The vermilion color is very beautiful, and the wooden architecture is detailed, so even an amateur can see how wonderful it is. The "Great Compassion Hall" enshrines the Thousand-Armed Thousand-Eyed Kannon, which is 8.5 meters tall and has a thousand eyes and 11 faces. It is impressive, yet intricately detailed, and is truly wonderful. In Taiyuan, where modernization is progressing, "Chongshan Temple" is a valuable historical site.
