Secluded in the mountains lies the ancient Qinglian Temple—in Jincheng, Shanxi

Qinglian Temple is located southeast of Jincheng city, surrounded by Jue Mountain and Dan River. The temple is divided into the Upper Temple and the Lower Temple. The Lower Temple's key attractions include a pagoda and colored sculptures, while the Upper Temple is noted for its colored sculptures and ancient buildings. Temples in Shanxi convey a solemn and rustic atmosphere. Besides the ancient buildings and colored sculptures being genuine artifacts, the most significant difference is that the Buddha statues are placed on a platform at the center of the main hall, offering a closer and more impactful experience.
