Dajin Lake belongs to one of the scenic tourist areas in Taining. It can be said to be a treasure among lakes and mountains, and has the reputation of "the best lake and mountain in the world". The vast and deep lake is perfectly combined with the Danxia wonders in various forms, and the masculinity and femininity complement each other, forming a magnificent water Danxia wonder. In addition, there are also many natural Buddhas gathered here, each of which is lifelike and full of spiritual interest. There is also a legend that people with predestined relationships can feel the spiritual energy of the lake and mountains in this auspicious place and be blessed by the Buddha.Dajin Lake not only has a unique landform, but also has a rare "cave culture" wonder in the world. In history, it had more than 130 temples of various sizes, each of which was built in a variety of strange caves. To this day, there are still more than 70 preserved. Among them, the most famous is Ganlu Temple, which is the "template" of the Japanese World Cultural Heritage - Nara Higashi Daibutsu Hall. If Dajin Lake is a beautiful woman, then Ganlu Temple is her deep eyes that are as bright as stars. Since it is a "water Buddhist temple", it is natural to board a boat to go there. From the water, the mountains emerge from the water, the water supports the mountains, and it looks like an island but not an island. It is a fresh and leisurely fairyland.In addition to numerous rock temples, the large and small rock caves in Dajin Lake are also closely related to Confucianism, which has a profound influence on Chinese history. For example, Zhu Xi, who brought Song and Ming Neo-Confucianism to its peak, once taught students in Danxia Rock. Zou Yinglong, the top scholar in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Li Chunye, the owner of Shangshu House, also became famous because of their hard work in studying poetry and books in the caves.
