Breaking three Guinness World Records at Donglin Temple!

👀 The only word to describe my feeling is 'shock'. I regret coming so late! 🌧 As soon as I arrived at the entrance, I saw heavy rain above Donglin Temple, making it even more spectacular! 🙏 Walking through the blessing bridge at the entrance, passing through the arched gate, The world's tallest cloisonné statue: the statue of Sudhana appears before my eyes! He stands in the center of the pool, surrounded by countless colorful koi fish! 🐠 Children can buy fish food to feed them; these fish seem to have a Buddhist nature! 🙏 The Thousand Buddha Gate, 20.08 meters high, with 999 bronze Guanyin statues carved on it, forming a large 'Buddha' character as tall as the gate. Through the slightly open gate, you can see the Thousand-Hand Guanyin inside! 🙏 The Thousand-Hand Guanyin is resplendent in gold, eight stories high, and looks magnificent whether viewed from above or below! 👆 The main entrance ticket is free. It is highly recommended to visit the Five Buddha Crown! With a 30 yuan ticket, you can take the elevator to the 7th floor, walk around the top of the Guanyin Pavilion, and then climb one more floor to the 8th floor to overlook Jinzhujing Town! The Five Buddha Crown's nose is the statue of Avalokitesvara, the left ear is the statue of Weituo Bodhisattva, and the right ear is the statue of Guan Yu Bodhisattva! Absolutely stunning, you will feel much more serene after seeing it! 👫 My friends often come here and took us on a regular tour route: Jin'en Bridge—Baiyu Mountain Gate—Golden Lotus Pond (Sudhana)—Heavenly King Hall—Mahavira Hall—Yuantong Hall—Garan Hall Sudhana Hall—Patriarch Hall—Three Saints Hall—Five Hundred Arhats Mountain—Ten Thousand Buddha Gate—Guanyin Hall—Ksitigarbha Hall—Elevator 3F—Medicine Master Hall—Elevator 7F—Mural Corridor—Five Buddha Crown—Elevator 1F—Donglin Temple Houde Calligraphy and Painting Academy—Prayer Wheel—Yuantong Hall (Old Site) It is free to ring the bell in the bell tower on regular days, you can go and ring the bell to pray for blessings! 🚙 There is a parking lot opposite, parking fee is 4 yuan per hour. 🥢 Next to it is Wufu Plaza, very convenient for dining!
