Which is the largest temple in Suzhou?

Everyone says that the scenery in Jiangnan is good. When it comes to Jiangnan, the words water town, ancient town and garden come to mind. Suzhou has always been the representative of Jiangnan water town in people's minds. In addition to Suzhou gardens, there are equally important Buddhist cultures. Buddhist culture mostly comes from temples. Today, Bian Xiao will talk about the largest temple in Suzhou. It is said that it cost 600 million yuan to build it. Do you know which temple this is? Let's have a look!

It is Chongyuan Temple, located in Weiting Town, Suzhou Industrial Park, next to the famous Yangcheng Lake. Founded in 503 AD, it has a history of 1500 years. It is really a thousand-year-old temple. At the same time, Lingyan Temple and Hanshan Temple were built. In contrast, it's really sad, and it seems that it will never be remembered.

It is said that when the temple was built, the capital alone spent 600 million yuan, which is an astronomical figure for ordinary people. Built on a peninsula in Yangcheng Lake, this temple is mysterious and attractive against the background of this river. Moreover, it covers an area of more than 300 mu and is known as the largest temple in Suzhou. Against this river, the temple looks mysterious and charming.

There is also Guanyin Pavilion, which is worth visiting. On the artificial island, when you hear the word Guanyin, there must be a bodhisattva for people to visit. The magic of this Guanyin is that it is very tall and powerful, but it does not give people a sense of oppression. It is said that Guanyin is made of 88 tons of bronze, which is really extravagant.

Both the height of Guanyin Pavilion and Guanyin itself are the highest in China. What makes Guanyin Pavilion shocking is that there is a small Guanyin in nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine around it. They look exactly alike, giving the impression that the princess is surrounded by a group of dwarfs. The scene is really novel and spectacular.

This is the largest temple in Suzhou, Chongyuan Temple, which has created many firsts in the country, but now it voluntarily withdraws from the 4A scenic spot. Next time you come to Suzhou, if you are tired of seeing the scenery here, come to this temple. The ticket price is not expensive, as long as 16 yuan, you will have a different feeling. what do you think? Welcome to leave a comment.
