Donglin Grand Buddha

The Donglin Grand Buddha starts its journey around 8 o'clock in the morning, descending from Mount Lu. The 48-meter-tall golden Buddha statue is truly awe-inspiring. Here, one can feel a sense of tranquility and a return to thoughtfulness. The monks and volunteers inside are all kind and compassionate, giving one the impression that all things have a spirit. May the Buddha bless you 🙏 Luggage storage is available across the street in the commercial area, costing 5 yuan for a bag and 10 yuan for a suitcase. The temple is a place of purity, so ladies should not wear short skirts or shorts when entering. The temple provides black cloth for cover, which should be remembered to be returned upon leaving. You can draw lots at the palm of the Great Buddha. Everything inside is free, including a rich selection of teas, as well as coffee and juice, located below the platform of the Great Buddha. The lowest building, the Dharma Instrument Circulation Area, is where one can acquire a Dharma instrument. I got a Buddha amulet. Do not consume meat or pungent foods inside the temple, including eggs.
