I rarely use the word "shocking" to describe a place around Chengdu...

I always wanted to go to Shanxi to see ancient buildings, but time is limited Unexpectedly, I also saw shocking ancient buildings in Sichuan Hidden in the deep mountains of Sichuan, it has the reputation of a small Forbidden City This is also one of the locations of the popular "Black Myth: Wukong" - Pingwu Baoensi (There are really underestimated treasure ancient buildings) 🍃: Pingwu Baoensi 📍: No. 63, North Street, Long'an Town, Pingwu County, Mianyang City, Sichuan Province ⏱: 08:30-17:00, stop admission at 16:30 🎫: 40 yuan (you can buy tickets at the entrance of the scenic spot) ❶Stay in a hotel in Pingwu County, and the ticket can enjoy a 50% discount ❷"Black Myth: Wukong" can visit Baoensi for free with the registration number ❸Free tickets for the elderly over 60 years old or children with a height of 1.2 (inclusive) or less, and students with a student ID card can enjoy a 50% discount ✅Pingwu Baoensi Travel Guide It is recommended to start from the mountain gate➡️Go inside, visit the Heavenly King Hall➡️Daxiong Hall➡️Wanfo Pavilion, and the Great Compassion Hall and Huayan Hall on the left and right sides, don't miss it, it's shocking! Pingwu Baoensi has "Six Jue" 1⃣️First Jue: Temple of Ten Thousand Dragons There are 9999 dragon patterns in the temple, distributed in the temple's ceiling caisson, column eaves and beams, ridge decoration and tile, stove, plaque, bell button, each is a vivid dragon image. There is a dragon position of "Long live the emperor today" in front of the Buddha in the Daxiong Hall, which is the Temple of Ten Thousand Dragons 2⃣️Second Jue: Dougong Museum Baoensi Dou Gong has 36 kinds, a total of more than 2730 pieces, more types than the Forbidden City, so it is called the Dou Gong Museum. Due to the stable structure of Dou Gong, Baoensi's wooden structure was basically intact in the 512 earthquake. 3⃣️Third Jue: 450 square meters of Ming Dynasty murals The existing scale of the Ming Dynasty murals in Baoensi is huge, and it belongs to the typical fine brushwork and heavy color "Taoist painting" type in the early and middle Ming Dynasty. The murals are mainly painted in the Daxiong Hall and Wanfo Pavilion. Now you can only see the murals in the Daxiong Hall. The second floor of the Wanfo Pavilion is not open to the public. The murals on the second floor are also the best preserved in the temple. 4⃣️Fourth Jue: All Phoebe Deep Mountain Forbidden City The wooden components of Baoensi are basically Phoebe, all from the local Phoebe in Pingwu. The wood is hard and resistant to corrosion. Baoensi was built in 1440 and has stood for 500 years. Because the construction system imitates the layout of the Forbidden City in Beijing, you can see the Golden Water Bridge when you enter from the mountain gate. 5⃣️Fifth Jue: The best preserved revolving sutra in the country There is a revolving sutra in the center of Huayan Zang. It is a tower-shaped device with a structure of golden silk nanmu. The revolving sutra is 11 meters high and 7 meters in diameter. It weighs 10,000 catties. It can be rotated left and right by one person. The exquisite carving on the revolving sutra is shocking 6⃣️Sixth Jue: Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue carved from a single piece of Phoebe What shocked me in Baoensi was the Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue in the Great Compassion Hall. It was 9 meters high. The main body was carved from a whole piece of Phoebe. Behind it was a fan-shaped densely packed 1004 hands, each with a wise eye. There are also some exquisite murals in the palace, and you can look up, every place is very exquisite~
