Wuzhou Longmu Temple

Wuzhou Longmu Temple~ The tallest Longmu sacred statue in China is 38 meters high. The Wuzhou Longmu Temple was built in the early Northern Song Dynasty. It is a millennium-old ancient building, built to commemorate the female leader of the Baiyue ethnic group in southern China during the Warring States period, known as 'Longmu'. Covering an area of over 5,000 square meters, it houses the tallest Longmu sacred statue in China at 38 meters, and is acclaimed as the premier Longmu temple in China. Longmu Temple is the most famous and spiritually significant temple in Wuzhou City. Admission is free for locals, while visitors from other places pay 28 yuan. Seniors over the age of seventy are admitted for free, and there is a separate parking fee! Upon entering the temple, you will see a large banyan tree and a flock of white pigeons, a sight that is quite soothing to the heart! In fact, you only need to worship at the temple near the main entrance (next to the public toilet), as the buildings on the mountain were constructed later to expand the scenic area and attract more tourists. The mountain is not very high, and climbing it is effortless. To be honest, I see many tourists visiting even on weekdays, which shows that this temple is indeed significant for the city! The iconic structure of the Longmu Temple is the Longmu sacred statue on the mountain top, and many people come specifically to take photos and check in! Actually, there is a Longmu Temple in almost every city, and locals in each place claim that their city's Longmu Temple is very efficacious. This is a matter of personal belief. A friend told me that you have to worship continuously for three years to see any effect, which I find surprising! Generally, photography is not allowed in temples, but I personally don't care. I even think that the temple should thank me for promoting it online!
