 Originally
built on top of Wuyou
Hill during the Tang
Dynasty, this temple was
twice damaged during the
Ming (1368-1644) and
Qing (1644-1911)
dynasties. Most of the
remaining buildings
today were constructed
during modern times. The
Hall of Maitreya Buddha,
for example, was built
in 1920; it houses a
statue of Maitreya
Buddha, about five
meters high, and
forty-eight smaller
Buddha statues. This
hall, the Grand Hall,
and Tathagata Hall are
arranged on three levels
from east to west,
forming a typical
Buddhist architectural
grouping. |
