I flew to Hohhot just to visit this ancient temple.

✨Today, I want to share an amazing place with you all—Hohhot's Five Pagoda Temple🎉! This place is absolutely incredible, and not visiting it would be a huge regret in life💔! 🏛️The temple was built in the 5th year of the Yongzheng reign of the Qing Dynasty (1727). It was originally called Cideng Temple and was built by the court at the request of the lamas of Xiaozhao Temple🎊. In 1732, the court officially named it. Unfortunately, many of the temple buildings were later destroyed, but the five pagodas remained, so we now call it the Five Pagoda Temple🤩. It has a significant historical background as one of the birthplaces of Tibetan Buddhism in the Mongolian region, witnessing countless religious and cultural exchanges. 🌟Main attractions: 🎇Vajra Throne Stupa: This is the "treasure of the temple." It stands about 16.5 meters tall, with a beautiful waist-shaped Sumeru base adorned with lifelike carvings of lions and elephants🦁🐘. Below the first eave, the complete Vajra Sutra is inscribed in Mongolian, Tibetan, and Sanskrit, showcasing its rich cultural heritage📜! As you look up, you'll see 1,119 gilded Buddha statues from the second to the seventh level, shining with golden light, exuding solemnity and grandeur. Standing in front of them, you feel enveloped by a sacred aura, filled with reverence🙏. 🌌Mongolian Astronomical Chart Stone Carving: On the back wall of the stupa, there's a "treasure"—the Mongolian Astronomical Chart Stone Carving🌟! It's the only astronomical chart in the world annotated in Mongolian. Standing before it, I felt like I had traveled back in time, joining the ancient scholars in studying the stars and exploring the mysteries of the universe. It was a truly magical experience, as if a door to the ancient world of science had been opened✨! 📸Travel tips: Don't miss the opportunity to take photos🤳! Whether it's the gentle morning sunlight casting a warm glow on the pagoda or the golden hues of the evening sun, the photos you take will be stunning. You can stand in front of the pagoda for a photo with the ancient architecture or capture close-ups of the exquisite carvings. Each photo will be a hit on social media👍. 🎫Ticket information: Admission is free, and you only need to bring your ID card to enter👏! 🚗Transportation: It's also very convenient to get there. You can take buses like routes 1, 56, 31, 27, 8, 50, 76, or 81🚍. If you prefer the subway, take Line 2 to Daxue West Street Station (Exit C) and walk about 1.5 kilometers. Along the way, you can enjoy the surrounding scenery and experience the charm of Hohhot🚶‍♀️. Hohhot's Five Pagoda Temple is a place that combines history, culture, art, and beautiful scenery. You must visit it💕!
