🌟Specific check-in points:

The entire building is located in the picturesque mountains and is surrounded by dense woods. It feels like you have come to an ancient temple 1,600 years ago~
.
🔸Prajna Valley: This is a scenic spot transformed from an abandoned quarry. The giant reliefs and stone carvings are really shocking.
.
🔸Qiguangjingyuan and Wanfo Pagoda: The iconic building in the TV series "Lotus Tower", a Chinese-style pavilion over 70 meters high, an octagonal pagoda. Standing under the tower, it feels very sacred and beautiful~
.
🔸Reclining Buddha Hall (Asia's No. 1️⃣largest indoor reclining Buddha): On the way to the Reclining Buddha Hall, there are also the City God Temple and the Thousand Buddhas Temple. The stone carvings in the grottoes can truly feel the imprint of history. Walking along the stone wall plank road, you can overlook the scenery of the entire scenic area along the way~ Looking into the distance, there is a stone statue mountain of "Maitreya Buddha"~
❗Tips: The Reclining Buddha Hall is really shocking. The Buddha's head is lowered, and his eyebrows and eyes are compassionate as if he has pity on all living beings. It seems that time has stopped, and it has become quiet all of a sudden~
