A trip around Datong, the summer resort Huai Ren Qingliang Temple
🏯✨ The Qingliang Temple on Qingliang Mountain in Huai Ren City, Shanxi Province, is said to have been built during the Northern Wei Dynasty and has a history of a thousand years. In fact, during the Northern Wei Dynasty, Datong was the capital at that time, and the small city of Huai Ren is only 50 kilometers away from Datong, which is truly an area within the capital's vicinity.
🏯✨ It might be because Buddhism was very prevalent during this period, as many temples and grottoes were built on the mountains, such as the famous Yungang Grottoes and the sacred Buddhist Mount Heng.
🏯✨ The origin of the legend of Little Wutai Mountain is actually said to be that the first site of Manjusri Bodhisattva's journey to Mount Wutai was Qingliang Temple. The temple is located on the cliffs, standing like a guardian that has stood for a thousand years, protecting the small city of Huai Ren. The chanting from the temple and the incense always make people feel incredibly peaceful. Perhaps the meaning of 'coolness' is not just the coolness of the body, but more about the tranquility deep inside the heart.
🏯✨ The temple architecture is built according to the mountain terrain, with two directions leading to the Manjusri Hall on one side and the Mahavira Hall on the other. Climbing up is not easy. The two peaks of the southern mountain echo each other, with the end of the stairs on the southern peak leading to the incense-filled brick pagoda, and the summit of the northern peak is home to the smiling Maitreya.
🏯✨ This temple has witnessed the changes of history and has been destroyed and rebuilt repeatedly. But it is this small temple that carries people's faith and emotions. Today, it still stands here, becoming an important symbol of Shanxi's historical and cultural heritage. When you step into this mysterious and ancient land of Shanxi, it is not only a pursuit of history but also a cleansing of the soul and a shock to the spirit.
🏞✨ This temple is not only culturally profound but also a rare summer resort. Just by hearing the name, you can imagine how windy this temple built on the mountain top must be. Even if you climb the mountain on a hot summer day, you should bring a light jacket.
🪁✨ Looking at the wind turbines scattered all over the mountains, you can tell that the wind here is never gentle. Today, this place is a relatively niche summer resort in the Datong surrounding area. Take advantage of the fact that not many people know about it, and come here to enjoy the mountain breeze and cool off in the summer.
