Dingguang Temple, also known as Dingguang Pagoda Temple, commonly known as "Baita Temple", is located at the foot of Shanxi Province, a palace-style building. Dingguang Temple was founded in the second year of Tang Tianyou (905). Two years later, in order to congratulate Zhu Wen on his accession to the throne, it was renamed "Wansui Temple" (commonly known as Tasi). Existing temples were rebuilt during the reign of Qingdaoguang. Dingguang Temple is divided into three main halls - "Tianwang Hall, Daxiong Palace (Pilu Hall) and Fayu Hall. Around the hall are Huafeng Hall, abbot's room, living room and monk's house. The temple is surrounded by a famous white pagoda ("Dingguang Pagoda") with 41 meters high, seven floors and star anise. A custom-made Gallery made of more than 200 pieces of blue and white porcelain is arranged from the corridors on both sides of Pilu Hall in Dingguang Temple. The picture scrolls about one meter wide are embedded on the wall. Along the corridor, the white pagoda is surrounded by half of the temples. It is amazing. Porcelain paintings with white background blueprints depict Buddhist legends. They are full of pictures and texts. From the birth of Sakyamuni to the introduction of Buddhism into China. Unfortunately, this time is rather hasty, there is no pictures. White Pagoda, also known as Dingguang Pagoda, formerly known as Baoen Dingguang Pagoda, was built in the first year of Tang Tianyou (904) by the King of Fujian who recommended blessings to his parents. Legend has it that a shining jewel was found at the time of the foundation building, so it was named the light tower. When it was first built, the masonry axle in the tower and the wooden pavilion in the outer ring were a seven-storey brick-core wooden tower 66.7 meters high. Dougong, lintel, pillars and railings on each floor are carefully carved, and Buddha statues are also painted on the walls and doors of the pagodas. In the 13th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1534), the tower was destroyed by thunder fire. When Jiajing was rebuilt in 1548, it was replaced by a seven-story octagonal brick tower, 41 meters high. Because the outside is coated with white ash, it is called the White Tower. White Pagoda is one of the two towers of Fuzhou "Three Mountains and Two Pagodas", standing at the foot of Shanxi Province, that is, Dingguang Temple, which echoes Wushan's Utah and becomes a landmark building of Fuzhou. The white pagoda at night is very splendid. We didn't go to watch it at night this time. It's a little pity.

    Dingguang Temple is at the entrance and exit of the mountain scenic spot. Next door is Yushan Hotel and Yushantang, opposite Wuyi Square, the location is in the city, and the traffic is very convenient. The white tower of Dingguang Temple is the most famous tower in Fuzhou. The two towers often appear on the postcards together, which is very beautiful. The white tower is currently under maintenance, and the outside is a covered construction yarn. Dingguang Temple walks to Uta for about 20 minutes, and the road is not far away, so Yushan, Dingguang Temple, Sanfang Qixiang, and Uta Park are considered a line trip. On the stairs at the main entrance of Dingguang Temple, the crowd was full of famous blind date corners in Fuzhou, and the picture did not lose to Shanghai People's Park. I was a little shocked when I passed by. During the epidemic, I was also crowded with aunts and Abes. Everyone should pay attention to epidemic prevention and safety and keep a distance.
