Gemo Temple in Aba County is not very famous, but it is truly eye-opening

Secret of Western Sichuan|Explore the low-key king! Gemo Temple holds two world records💎 🌈Low-key king! A small temple in Western Sichuan hides incredible treasures Aba County is home to a temple that quietly holds great achievements and fame. Its exterior is plain and unassuming, but stepping inside leaves you speechless! It features the largest connected Buddha hall in China, a 37-meter-tall Maitreya Buddha statue, and an 8-story-high scripture wall, directly earning two Guinness World Records. Even the floor tiles are inlaid with turquoise😱 📍Address: Tangmai Village, Gemo Town, Aba County, Aba Prefecture, Sichuan (navigate directly to "Gemo Temple") 🚗 Travel tips: 1. About 7 hours driving from Chengdu; 2. It is recommended to charter a car or join a tour, with the option to visit the Litang Bao Yezhe Scenic Area along the way; 💫Must-visit highlights: 【World’s tallest indoor Maitreya Buddha】 Look up until your neck aches at the golden Buddha! At 37 meters tall, equivalent to a 12-story building, even a single finger of the Buddha is taller than a person. The scent of Tibetan incense adds to the awe-inspiring atmosphere. 【8-story scripture wall】 A whole wall of scriptures reaches the dome ceiling, with dark red scripture frames creating a geometric beauty. Standing underneath for photos instantly makes you look like an ant. ⚠️Notes: • No touching the Buddha statue or wearing hats inside the hall • Walk clockwise around the Buddha • Take precautions against altitude sickness and sun exposure 🌿Nearby activities: 20 minutes by car to Litang Bao Yezhe, featuring the magical stone mountains and stunning lakes beyond the screen!~
