I unexpectedly saw exquisite wood carvings in Kaifeng

Although it is the ancient capital of eight dynasties, Kaifeng has been flooded by the Yellow River several times in history, so I didn't hold out much hope for the ancient buildings in Kaifeng at first. But the Thousand-Handed Thousand-Eyed Guanyin and the exquisite wood carvings of the Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu Guild Hall in the Octagonal Glazed Hall of the Daxiangguo Temple in Kaifeng really shocked me. Don't just know about the Qingming Shanghe Garden when you come to Kaifeng, these national treasure-level cultural relics are also worth your visit! Wood carving has a long history in our country, but because wood is easy to catch chicken, there are not many left after long wars. Daxiangguo Temple: The Xiangguo Temple covers an area of 30 acres and preserves ancient relics such as the Heavenly King Hall, the Great Hall of the Great Hall, the Octagonal Glazed Hall, and the Sutra Tower. The Octagonal Glazed Hall is unique in the world and is a unique product. Don't miss it! The one in the center pavilion of the Octagonal Glazed Hall! Ginkgo wood carving dry hand dry eye Guanyin statue! It is even more famous at home and abroad. This statue is as high as 7 meters, divided into four sides, each side is divided into four layers, each carved with a thousand arms, extremely exquisite, carved in the Qianlong year, it took more than 50 years, the craftsmanship is exquisite, the shape is beautiful, it is unique in the world and extremely precious. Homestay recommendation Walking into "In Liang Jun Su", it's like the old alley when I went home from school when I was a child, quiet, deep, distant and intimate. The original wood, old scenery, water millstone, old objects in the homestay, simple and warm like the old house, pure and extremely design sense. Right now. Why not choose a good day, bring a good friend, come to Liang, remove the hustle and bustle, unload the fatigue, and enjoy the dreamlike good times. Come to the ancient capital of the Northern Song Dynasty to meet a Nordic legend, "In Liang" is ready for your heart Romantic journey. Most recommended The rooftop courtyard garden, sun restaurant, and multi-function hall are available for you to enjoy the time, drink coffee, taste clear tea, and enjoy the party time!
