🌟 Pingyang Dayun Temple, also known as Linfen Iron Buddha Temple, is a key cultural relic protection unit in Shanxi Province. It is located south of the Drum Tower in Yaodu District, Linfen City. It was first built in the sixth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty (632 AD) and has undergone many repairs. The existing main buildings include the mountain gate, the hall, the Mahavira Hall, the golden glazed pagoda, the Sutra Collection Building, and the side halls. Among them, the six-level golden glazed pagoda is the landmark building of Dayun Temple, about 30 meters high, and enshrines the iron-cast head of Sakyamuni Buddha from the Tang Dynasty. 🎫 Ticket price: The adult ticket price is CNY 60, and the student ticket is CNY 30. Children under 1.2 meters in height, seniors over 60 years old, soldiers, disabled people, and journalists can enter for free. ⌚ Opening hours: 08:00–18:00 daily. ✅ Location: Located south of the Drum Tower in Yaodu District, Linfen City, adjacent to Shanxi Normal University. You can take a bus or drive there. It is recommended to plan your route in advance to avoid traffic jams. ☀ Personal experience: Walking into Pingyang Dayun Temple, it seems like traveling through time and space, back to that ancient and quaint era. Standing under the golden glazed pagoda, looking up at the towering pagoda, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. The glazed reliefs on the pagoda shine brightly in the sunlight, as if telling a story of a thousand years. Entering the pagoda, the iron-cast head of Sakyamuni Buddha from the Tang Dynasty is even more shocking. Its solemn and kind face seems to be silently guarding this land. In front of the Mahavira Hall, I sat quietly for a long time, feeling the peace and tranquility, as if my soul had been purified. Walking out of the temple and looking back at the ancient buildings, I was filled with emotion. This is not only a trip but also a baptism of the soul.
