Have you ever visited the hidden gem in Jinning of Kunming?

🏞️ Baoshan Temple, located in Qizhen Mountain, Baofeng Town, Jinning County, Kunming City, is a Buddhist holy land filled with historical atmosphere. 📜 According to the records in front of the temple, the temple was built by the son of Yang Fu, a great lay Buddhist from Huizhou, Guangdong during the Ming Dynasty. It took seven years to complete, and at that time, it was revered by the people as the Bodhisattva Mahasattva's manifested place of practice, and was praised as 'the world of eight treasures, a pure land of good dwelling'. 🎊 Every year on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the temple fair for welcoming the Buddha is held here, attracting tens of thousands of people and creating an unprecedented grand occasion. 🔄 After reconstruction during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and rebuilding in the thirty-ninth year of Guangxu, Baoshan Temple has witnessed the changes of history. 🔨 In the winter solstice of 2003, the monk Chonghua passed by this place and decided to restore this ancient temple. Restoring the old as it was, the temple was carefully repaired and expanded. 🏛️ Currently, the temple has architectural facilities such as a stone archway, guest hall, circulation office, main mountain gate, Puguangming Hall, Garan Hall, as well as east and west monk residences, pagoda towers, and the overall architecture is symmetrically distributed along the central axis, with Huitong Bridge connecting the outer and inner ponds, as well as the Xixin Pool landscape. 🌸 With the arrival of spring, the begonia flowers planted on both sides of the main hall bloom, making the scenery even more enchanting. 🌱 As the temple is still under construction, other halls may open in the future, but the existing architectural landscapes are already quite exquisite and spectacular. 🍲 The temple offers a vegetarian meal for 10 yuan per person, allowing visitors to taste the deliciousness of vegetarian food while experiencing religious culture. 👣 If you need to travel by public transport, you can check the bus routes in the town on your own. Baoshan Temple is not just a temple, but also a place where one can purify the soul. Here, you can feel the weight of history and find inner peace amidst the beauty of nature.🌟
