Tongliao | The Three Great Temples of Kulun are not to be missed.

In recent years, when it comes to Tongliao, many netizens will think of the Tongliao Universe, the center of the universe in Tongliao 😂. In fact, Tongliao has a long history, especially during the Qing Dynasty, it was an important town in the Manchu and Mongolian regions. Kulun Banner, a subordinate of Tongliao, was the only Lama Banner in Inner Mongolia during the Qing Dynasty that implemented the integration of politics and religion. Against this background, a relatively complete set of Gelug temples was built, integrating Mongolian, Tibetan, and Han styles 😊 . We navigated to the Three Great Temples of Kulun. There were not many tourists at noon, and the parking lot was empty. There were a few old men playing chess. The visitor center is opposite the parking lot. After buying the tickets there, you can enter and visit . 👉Fuyuan Temple From the parking lot, go up the steps all the way, turn right to Fuyuan Temple, and turn left to Xingyuan Temple. We went to Fuyuan Temple first. In the seventh year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (1742), the twelfth Zasakda Lama Awang Zamuyang Hutuktu of Xiletukulen presided over the construction of a "Gendong" white pagoda and "Fuyuan Temple". Since then, successive Zasakda Lamas have built to varying degrees, covering an area of about 5,000 square meters, with four halls along the central axis from south to north. That is, the mountain gate, the Great Sutra Hall, the Buddha Hall, and the Laoye Temple, etc. 👉Xingyuan Temple After leaving Fuyuan Temple, we went to Xingyuan Temple, and we met a snake 🐍 at the door. In the sixth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1649), Xingyuan Temple was built under the auspices of the third Zasakda Lama Xibuzagunruke of Xiletukulen. After the completion, the Shunzhi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty gave the "Xingyuan Temple" plaque in Mongolian, Chinese, and Tibetan. The temple covers an area of about 14,000 square meters. After passing through the second courtyard and 13 steps, you will reach the famous "Nine-Nine Eighty-One Rooms" Hall - the Great Sutra Hall. Not to be missed, there is also a bell and drum hall on each side 👉Xiangjiao Temple Finally, we came to Xiangjiao Temple, with a total area of 13,861 square meters. In the ninth year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1670), Xiangjiao Temple was built to the east of Xingyuan Temple. Although Xiangjiao Temple has a mountain gate, it is not open to the public. You need to turn into the mountain gate of Xingyuan Temple.
