Come to Chongfu Temple in Shanxi to face your destiny.

In "Black Myth: Wukong", Wukong looks up at the Amitabha Hall of Chongfu Temple, with its ancient window lattices, colorful glazed components, and huge bucket arches, which are the five unique features of the Jin Dynasty! Open the door that Wukong didn't check in, and you will see another art palace. Here, the wooden components, colored sculptures, murals, and plaques of the Jin Dynasty are perfectly preserved, exquisite and beautiful, and can be called a precious giant structure in the Liao and Jin architecture of China. ❤Recommended reason: Chongfu Temple is one of the three existing Liao and Jin Buddhist temples in China. The Amitabha Hall of Chongfu Temple is one of the most complete and perfect Jin Dynasty buildings in China. It is seven rooms wide and four rooms deep, with a single eave and a hipped roof. The moon terrace in front of the hall is spacious and covers five rooms. This huge Jin Dynasty temple located on a 2.5-meter-high platform is extremely shocking. 🌟Five unique features: ✅Unique glazed The ridge beasts and owl kisses are all original objects of the Jin Dynasty. The 1.5-meter-high glazed Hercules looks very mini under the background of the main hall, and it seems to be running away. It has been guarding this ancient building for nearly a thousand years. ✅Unique plaque The plaque of "Amitabha Hall" written in the 24th year of Dading in Jin Shizong (1184 AD) is the largest one of the same period. ✅Unique window lattice The rare ancient buildings that even the doors and windows retain the original objects of the Jin Dynasty, as many as fifteen patterns: round, prismatic, four-petal, six-petal, etc., zoom in and look carefully, each bunch of flowers The flower heads are also different, you can feel the ingenuity of the craftsmen a thousand years ago. ✅Unique colored sculpture. The Western Three Saints enshrined are all Jin Dynasty statues. The backlight screen of the main Buddha Amitabha is as high as 14 meters. You can imagine how shocking the scene will be when the light comes through. ✅Unique mural The four walls of the hall are Jin Dynasty murals, with delicate carvings and complicated costumes, and the use of gold foil technology, which is more three-dimensional. 🕙Opening hours: 09:00-17:00 🎫Scenic spot ticket: Free 📍Detailed address: No. 94, East Street, Shuocheng District, Shuozhou City
