Xixian Xiaoxitian|This is the first time I use the word "shocking" to describe a

5,000 years of China is too far away, but Shanxi is very close. Shanxi is really a treasure city that is seriously underestimated. Xiaoxitian in Xi County is a scenery that cannot be missed when visiting Shanxi. What to see in Xiaoxitian? You will understand everything after reading this article💡. . ⛩️Xiao Xitian, also known as Qianfo Temple, is the "masterpiece of hanging sculpture" in the history of Chinese sculpture art. It is hard to imagine that in the main hall of only 168.6 square meters, there are 1,673 colorful Buddha statues, ranging from more than 3 meters high to the size of a thumb, but all of them are lifelike and breathtaking. . 🔶The wonder of the hanging sculpture is that it remains dust-free even after 400 years of cleaning. Some say that there are "dust-avoiding beads" hidden inside. In fact, the statue is tilted forward 5-8 degrees to prevent dust from falling on the front. The wisdom of the ancients makes people feel "shocking" for a moment. There is really no other adjective to describe it except "shocking". . 🔷The Buddha statue in the Mahavira Hall was gilded with 14 kilograms of gold. Our ancestors used unparalleled skills to make the gold foil into 1/12 of an A4 paper, and then covered the Buddha statue with it, creating this splendid and complex Buddhist kingdom with flowing lights. . ♥️Warm Tips: 🔹Choose a sunny day📅 to travel. The best time to visit is from 11:00 am to 16:00 pm. The light is best during this period, and it is easier to see the details of the hanging sculptures. 🔸The hanging sculptures are concentrated in the Main Hall, which is only 169 square meters in area, so it may be crowded during peak hours. To protect the cultural relics, please do not use the flash when taking photos! 🎫Ticket: 35 R, explanation is charged separately, you can join a group. (A normal explanation is fine, the gold medal we invited doesn't make much difference. 🚌Transportation: Xi County is far from Linfen City. You can take the yellow car to and from Xiaoxitian, 35 R, which needs to be booked in advance. The journey takes about 2 hours. Be sure to reserve time for the tour and book a yellow car for the return trip! It's really hard to get a taxi in Xiaoxitian‼️ 🍐The Yu Lu pears in Xi County are crisp, sweet and juicy, delicate and crumbly. The price is more affordable outside the scenic area. You can buy some to try.
