The temple on the top of a stone mountain, Wulong Temple in Tiantai Mountain, Anshun.

The temple is located on Tiantai Mountain behind Tianlong Tunbao, Tianlong Town, Pingba District, Anshun City, Guizhou Province. It was built in the 18th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1590 AD) and is a model of ancient Tunbao temple architecture! Standing majestically on the towering Tiantai Mountain and surrounded by city walls, it is a building that combines both military and religious functions. The temple is generally divided into two parts, the outer wall is built with stones, blending seamlessly with the mountain; the inner structure is built with wood and stone, which is clever and exquisite. It is now the fifth batch of national key cultural relics protection units. The main buildings include the Great Buddha Hall, two side halls, the Guanyin Hall, the Jade Emperor Pavilion, the Patriarch Hall, the Sutra Library and other nine groups of more than 50 halls and palaces. There are four mountain gates, namely "The First Mountain in Southern Guizhou", "The Heaven among Heavens", "Yinzong Zen Forest" and "Qingjing Zen Temple", as well as buildings such as the small moon platform, the large moon platform, the moon-viewing platform, the narrow path "Heavenly Street" carved out of the edge of the cliff, stone railings, and a back garden. The main buildings, including the main hall and side halls, are built symmetrically along the central axis, with fish-back beams and mortise and tenon joints, dragon and phoenix painted ridges and eaves structures, inheriting the architectural style of the Song Dynasty. This is the only group of ancient buildings in Guizhou that imitate the Song Dynasty. The temple is located on the top of the mountain, and the scenery is picturesque when you climb up. The stone structure is quite special, but the wooden building was renovated 15 years ago and looks quite new, without any of the charm of the ancient building. The location is almost in the middle of Guiyang and Anshun, but perhaps due to inconvenient transportation, there are not many tourists. Friends who want to come are advised to drive themselves. The nearby Tianlong Tunbu has been developed into a scenic spot. It is only one or two kilometers away, and you can stop by to see it on the way to Wulong Temple.
