Sheng'an Temple, also known as Sheng'an Ancient Temple, is a Buddhist temple in Yueyang, Hunan, standing on Dagui Mountain. The whole temple is magnificent, with flying eaves and corners, and magnificent. Stepping into the temple, the melodious "Great Compassion Mantra", the peaceful chanting and the lingering sandalwood incense will bring people into a strong Buddhist cultural atmosphere. Following the road, the temple can be divided into the mountain gate, the hall, the Great Hall, the Buddha Hall, the Guanyin Hall, and the Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda. The mountain gate is the main gate of Sheng'an Temple. It was built in imitation of the Buddhist Incense Pavilion Archway in the Summer Palace. There are five gates in total, also collectively known as the Wisdom Gate. The hall is one of the main buildings of Sheng'an Temple, and it is unique in modern Chinese temple architecture. It consists of the hall, the bell and drum tower, and the Sutra Pavilion. The hall is filled with incense, and there is a Maitreya Buddha statue. The Buddha statue is bare-backed, with a rosary in his hands and a smile on his face. On both sides of the Maitreya Buddha statue, there are four Dharma protectors, commonly known as the "Four Great Vajra", also known as the Four. The statue is tall and majestic, with graceful and smooth lines, and lifelike. On the back of the Buddha cage in the hall is a statue of Weituo, the guardian deity in Buddhism. He holds a pestle to subdue demons, and his statue is solemn, giving people a sense of power without anger. The Great Hall of the Buddha stands between the hall and the Buddhist Chanting Hall. With carved beams and painted buildings, flying eaves and corners, it naturally integrates people into a solemn atmosphere. There are three big Buddhas in the hall. The Wanfo Pagoda is built on the top of the Big Turtle Mountain and is also a tower to guard the mountain. On the base of the tower, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of Nanhu Lake on the right, with seven small turtle mountains floating on the water, sometimes floating and sometimes sinking, and lifelike; looking to the left, you can see Dongting Lake in the distance, with white sails of commercial ships coming and going; looking from the front, you can see Baling City, and the whole city is in full view. Climbing the tower and looking out, the scenery is even more unparalleled, making people linger.
From Yueyang Railway Station, take bus No. 11 to reach the Sheng'an Temple Scenic Area. From Sheng'an Temple to enter the scenic spot, you will see a big Buddha, enter the mountain gate, go to the Daxiong Palace, climb to the Yueyang Tower, and look at Dongting Lake.
Spring is coming, and my lovers go to the temple to worship, and hope that everything will go smoothly for a year. The flowers are rich and noble, and the spring is full. Everyone go out and walk! Appreciate the four seasons, the beautiful Great China. This city can come and go often.
I have been to many temples. Here are two talents who are more humanized and not slaughtered. They received ten yuan and gave two incense. Remember to buy a little when in Hengyang, and they received more than 200.
There are not many tourists in the scenic spot. It is a good place to climb high and look at the distance and worship Buddha. You can see a large area of water (should be Dongting Lake). Just arrived at the meal, before going out, I asked the volunteers in the temple, and there was a fixed fee for vegetarian food.
The Sheng'an Temple gave our long-lost mind relaxation in the city for a long time. The vegetation coverage is very high, there are not many people, and it is very quiet. Although the Sheng'an Temple requires tickets, I personally think it is worth a visit! Yueyang is really a treasure and niche place, there are not many people, the price is not high, Yueyang Tower is super beautiful, and there is tea color, fish hot pot is delicious, strong push!
Cost-effective, the tower has a small view of the mountains, the Dongting Lake on the left, and the South Lake on the right. Much more value than going to Yueyang Building. You can share a bicycle to the church school when you go down the mountain, and it is worth walking together.
