Hai Cang Temple in Wuwei, a thousand-year-old temple, is known as the crown of the northwest Brahman Palace

Hai Cang Temple, named because the temple is built on the small island Ling Jun Tai in the water, surrounded by dense forests and springs, like a temple hidden in the sea. The temple was first built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and it has a history of more than 1700 years. It has been renovated and expanded in every dynasty, with high monks preaching and teaching, and the ancient temple still retains its spirituality. The Ming Dynasty wooden archway in front of the temple is simple and exquisite, and the four big characters 'Hai Cang Zen Forest' directly express the artistic conception. Entering the mountain gate, you are greeted by the double-eave Daxiong Hall, full of plaques; past the Dizang Hall, a few steps up is the ancient Ling Jun Tai; the Buddha statues under the platform are shining with gold, and the Wuliang Hall on the platform is simple and heavy, and you can view the scenery of Wuwei City from a high place. This is the earliest main building of Hai Cang Temple, and the temple houses many Buddhist scriptures such as 'Da Zheng Zang' and 'Qi Zang Jing', also known as the Sutra Tower. A stone tablet carved during the Qing Guangxu years, titled 'Jin Zhu Ling Jun Tai', was found under the platform. It reads 'The ancient platform was established by Zhang Mao, the King of Liang, during the Tai Ning period of Emperor Ming of the Eastern Jin Dynasty', and is now standing on the right side of the hall. On the left side is the Yao Quan Well, which is said to be very magical, but it is a pity that it has been protected and the truth is not seen. Outside the temple is Hai Cang Temple Park, with lake reflections, weeping willows, wild flowers in full bloom, suitable for leisurely strolling and dazing, it can be described as the best combination of cultural relics and natural scenery. 💰Ticket price: Free 🕙Opening hours: 08:00-18:00 🚗Travel strategy: Take bus No. 6 in Wuwei City and get off at Hai Cang Park East Station, cross the park to Hai Cang Temple. 📌Small Tips: The park is opposite the temple, and there are also the God of Wealth Temple, Daotai Hall, Yuan Kezi's old house and other ancient buildings, all free, can be visited together, it is worth arranging at least half a day's itinerary.
