The imprint of history - Jiajiang Niuxian Temple, the Buddhist world scattered in the mountains and fields

In Jiajiang County, Sichuan, there is a hidden Buddhist world surrounded by greenery - Niuxian Temple. 🌳 This is not only a quiet place of practice, but also a treasure house of grotto art with thousands of years of history. 🏯 📸 When I stepped into this holy land embraced by mountains and wilderness, the first thing I saw were the well-proportioned niches and caves, which were quietly inlaid on the cliff, as if they were telling ancient legends. 🗿 Each Buddha statue is carved lifelike, and the details reveal the exquisite skills and endless piety of the craftsmen. 🎨 🚶‍♂️ Along the winding path, I climbed step by step, and every time I turned around, I saw a picture that shocked my soul. 🌄 Here, time seems to have frozen, with only the wind gently blowing over the face of each Buddha statue, seeming to whisper stories of the past. 🍃 🕊️ Going deep into every corner of Niuxian Temple, you will find the large number and scale of the statues here, all showing the glory and sacredness of this place. 🔮 There are 254 niches and more than 3,400 Buddha statues. Each statue is a witness to a period of history. Each statue carries the prayers and admiration of countless believers. 🙏 🧘‍♂️ Here, you can slow down and let your soul have a profound dialogue with nature and history. 🌤️ Feel the ripples those ancient stone carvings stir up in your heart, and maybe you will find an otherworldly tranquility. 💆‍♀️ 🕒 It wasn’t until the sunset that I reluctantly said goodbye to this Buddhist world. 🌅 Jiajiang Niuxian Temple, this Buddhist kingdom scattered in the mountains and fields, is not only a visual enjoyment, but also a spiritual baptism. 💖
