Hohhot, Inner Mongolia｜A Complete Guide to the Dazhao Wuliang Temple

Hohhot is really worth visiting with family and friends! It's super beautiful. I have visited various temples in various cities. Dazhao Wuliang Temple is the one I personally think has the best value for money and is the most exquisite! If you come to Inner Mongolia for a trip, this attraction alone is worth the price of the ticket! I took so many photos and I can’t bear to delete any of them! ! For many scenic spots, you can’t choose any more photos after selecting a few. But it’s different for Dazhao Wuliang Temple. 18 photos are totally not enough! Come to Hohhot and head straight to these two temples across the road. Xiaozhao (Xilituzhao) is famous for its tranquility and delicacy, and there are many Tibetan-style Lama pagodas in the temple. The Dazhao Temple (Dazhao Wuliang Temple), as the royal (Kangxi) ancestral temple, is larger in scale and higher in level. It houses the largest existing silver Tibetan Buddhist statue, and the Thousand-Armed Guanyin statue is equally amazing! Maybe it was because it was the first time for Han people to visit a Tibetan temple. Seeing the colorful and gorgeous prayer flags in the inner hall, the exquisite and beautiful thangka paintings, the mysterious words and symbols, and the believers prostrating themselves in worship, they could feel the power of religious culture and faith. Many of the temples are worth a closer look. If you get tired of visiting, you can find a shady corner to sit, watch the flocks of pigeons and swallows chirping on the roof of the temple, watch the golden light flashing on the roof under the blue sky and sunshine, and experience the unique aroma of burning incense and inner peace in the temple. 🌟【About attractions】 The Dazhao Wuliang Temple was founded by Altan Khan, the leader of the Tumed tribe of Mongolia in the Ming Dynasty and completed in 1580. It is one of the most influential Yellow Sect temples in Mongolia. The building is built in the style of Han Chinese temples, and the "three wonders" in the temple - the silver Buddha, dragon carvings, and murals - are not to be missed. A statue of Sakyamuni made of 30,000 taels of pure silver is enshrined in the main hall. Even tourists who do not believe in Buddhism can feel the beauty of the architecture and sculptures here! 🎫【About tickets】 Adult: 35 yuan/person Children: 17 yuan/person How to buy tickets: On-site ticket purchase: Purchase directly at the ticket office of Wuliang Temple of Dazhao.

My friend went there in the afternoon and there were so many people! Probably stroll until morning! At 9:00, tour groups started arriving one after another! I arrived at around 6 o'clock! The square is very empty, take all kinds of photos! Geerle Ama opens around 7 o'clock, and after breakfast, it opens at 8 o'clock, which is just the right time! ! 🌈【Play suggestions】 ✅ Dress appropriately, respect the temple culture, do not take photos inside the temple, and keep quiet ✅ Dazhao Temple provides stamping services, stamp collectors should not miss it
