Pujing Temple in Xiangfen | There are three treasures in the temple.

|There are three treasures in the temple. Pujing Temple, also known as Nanshi Temple and Nanda Temple, is located on the south side of Shiwei Village, Zhaokang Town, Xiangfen County, Shanxi Province, China. The temple is an ancient building from the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. In the Hall of Heavenly Kings (Hall of the Jade Emperor), there are statues of the Jade Emperor and his attendants, which are majestic and solemn. On both sides are statues of the Four Heavenly Kings, wearing crowns and armor, each holding a sword, umbrella, pipa, and pagoda, with solemn expressions. The painted statues are still clearly visible. Although they have gone through hundreds of years of vicissitudes, the ancient charm still remains. There are only two papaya trees in the world that are over a thousand years old, one in Bern, Switzerland, and the other in Pujing Temple. The locals call this strange tree, the Great Buddha Hall, and the Samantabhadra Bodhisattva in the Three Bodhisattvas as the "Three Treasures" of Pujing Temple. To this day, this ancient tree is lush and tall, with a crown like a huge umbrella. It is said that this tree was planted when the temple was first built, in order to save all living beings and make medicine to save people.
