The 45 minutes seemed to slip through my fingers. Although the temple is not large, its location by the mountain and water endows it with endless tranquility and mystery. The most eye-catching feature is the towering red platform, which, accompanied by the glazed archway, appears solemn yet dynamic.🏰🌟 🔎 Observing every corner of the red platform closely, the small temples at each corner are distinctive. To the north is the gentle deer, to the south the peacock with its tail fanned out, and amidst them, the Vajra Buddha statues stand silently on guard. The skirt building is divided into more than 400 small rooms, each with its own story.🦌🦚 🌉 Ascending to the second level, I was drawn to the octagonal revolving tower at the southeast corner, with its vivid dragon and phoenix auspicious patterns. The third level even hides a gilded carved altar city, with solemn Buddha statues standing erect. Although incense burning is not allowed, the air is still filled with a cool and solemn atmosphere.🐉🐉 🚌 When leaving, I chose to take the bus back to the city center, where board noodles, mutton soup, and large baked buns awaited to comfort my stomach. The day's journey ended perfectly with a blend of food and history.🍜🥣 ⏰ A reminder to all friends, don't forget to plan your trip before setting out, so as not to miss the return high-speed train. Today's trip to Chengde not only allowed me to appreciate the unique charm of the Sumi Fushou Temple but also gave me a deeper understanding of this city.🚄💫

Its very interesting to come to Chengdes Temple of Shoufus Shou, to learn about his story. I want to be the 70th birthday of Emperor Qianlong. The Sixth Panchen of Tibet heard that this matter is also coming to Qianlongs birthday. Qianlong heard that the Panchen Lama in Tibet is going to give himself a birthday. Of course, he attaches great importance to it. Qianlongs birthday may be that he feels too disturbing in Beijing. He simply opens a party in Chengde Mountain Resort. If Panchen is to celebrate his birthday, he cannot consider the problem of peoples accommodation. It is reasonable to say that there are houses in the summer resort, a large number of temples outside the temple, and a lot of Tibetans in the Han Dynasty. The Panchen people are more people, and there is no place to live. But has always been a great success, how can Qianlong, who loves to play the game, give up this opportunity to show off in front of the Living Buddha? So he made a big stroke and decided to build a luxurious guest house for the Panchen Lama in the north of the villa. The place where the Panchen is located in Shigatse is the Tashilhunpo Monastery. Tashilhunpo is a Tibetan language. The translation into Chinese is as good as the life of Mount Sumi. Therefore, this newly built guest house is called the temple of the Buddha.
