Travel through Xiangshan Temple, the "home of Guanyin", and appreciate its 1,800-year-old heritage

Travel through the "Ancestral Temple of Guanyin" Xiangshan Temple and appreciate the heritage of more than 1,800 years Xiangshan Temple When I stood on the top of the mountain and looked back at the city, my mind was filled with the words in the title. This royal temple, which was built in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,800 years, is recognized as the "Ancestral Temple of Guanyin" by the world. Nowadays, there are many temples here, and the momentum is magnificent. Just standing in front of the first stone archway of Xiangshan can make people look up and feel awe. Although the first few halls of Xiangshan Temple have been rebuilt beautifully, I still recommend that you must step over the 118 steps to the ancient tower of the Song Dynasty to have a look. Although some murals have been lost with the years The passage of time is mottled, but the warmth left by history is real and moving. I can't tell why. This is the temple that makes me feel the most awe among all the temples I have visited. The awe that comes from the bottom of my heart is especially when you are next to the ancient tower. If you want to overlook Yingcheng, you can see the old city at Pingdingshan and the new city at Xiangshan Temple. ♥Note♥ ☞Tickets are five yuan, which can be purchased directly on site. ☞The vegetarian meals in the temple are not available to the public. ☞If you want to experience it well, it is recommended to reserve 3 hours. ☞Wear comfortable shoes, and you need to climb a lot of steps to enter each hall. ☞If you are predestined, you can ask the master or layperson to introduce it, and you should have a deeper feeling.
