Mianyang Shengshui Temple | The treasure ancient temple that has been asked about in the circle of friends

✨Shengshui Temple is famous for its agricultural spring holy water, originally named "Ganquan Temple", its history can be traced back to the Tang Yonghui period, it has a history of more than 1300 years, with a long history and profound cultural heritage. Over the centuries, Shengshui Temple has been revived and declined several times, and finally, under the maintenance of the masters and many disciples, after many years of hard work, this thousand-year-old ancient temple has been renewed. - ✨These statues are newly made in recent years, made of cement into hundreds of statues of various shapes and forms, breaking the traditional rules of creation, introducing many new modeling techniques, modern, exaggerated, not stereotyped. From a distance, it is very eye-catching, giving a particularly shocking visual feeling. - 💡Name: Mianyang Shengshui Temple 📍Navigation: No. 357, North Section of Changhong Avenue, Fucheng District, Mianyang City 🚌Transportation: About 2h drive from Chengdu, about 50 minutes by high-speed rail to Mianyang Station 🎫Tickets: Free, free, free! ⚠️Note! Shengshui Temple and Luohan Temple are adjacent and connected, and can be visited together - After entering the temple, there are free incense candles🕯️ available, but it is recommended to prepare some cash, which can be put into the merit box when worshiping Buddha🗳️ - 🏯【Shengshui Temple】and【Luohan Temple】are adjacent, together they construct a whole mountain scale, magnificent Buddhist country scenery. ✨The group of Buddha statues on both sides of the auspicious gate steps, in various shapes and forms, are wonderful~ 🔸Each Arhat rides a divine dragon, rides a winged tiger, straddles a dragon fish, or stands on a unicorn, wild and unrestrained, with fluttering belts, galloping in the sea of clouds~ 🔸Some Arhats have long eyebrows and beards, and the faces of immortals. Some Arhats have a bit of evil, or greedy and cunning faces, or glaring eyes, full of madness~ 🔸I thought it was a chaotic scene, but the solemn Manjusri Bodhisattva in the center suppressed the whole scene, which was very amazing. 🔸The flying fairies on both sides, thin and charming, with fluttering clothes, form a sharp contrast with several female Bodhisattvas, with strange beasts in the sky and colorful phoenixes coming. 🔸The whole group of statues is extremely shocking, and the details are extremely delicate when viewed separately. When the sun sets, it's incredibly beautiful. . ✨It's not good to take pictures in the main hall, the solemn and exquisite Avalokitesvara in the Guanyin Hall, the colorful Thousand Eyes and Thousand Hands Avalokitesvara in the Great Compassion Hall, the historical sense of the group of vermilion along the golden tiles in each hall and the mystery and solemnity of the temple itself are all coming to the face, very suitable for sightseeing and worshiping Buddha~ PS: The temple does not charge admission, it's up to you to make a merit donation, do as you can~
