#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Visit the Jokhang Temple in Hohhot: A pious journey through time and space Jokhang Temple is located in Yuquan District, Hohhot City. It is a Tibetan Buddhist temple with a profound historical and cultural heritage, and is also known as the "Silver Buddha Temple." This is not only a religious holy place, but also a window to understand the local culture. Next, I will provide you with a super detailed guide. 🚗Transportation Guide If you choose public transportation, you can take the city bus. Lines 1, 27, 34, etc. can all reach the vicinity of Jokhang Temple. Just check it on the mobile map software before departure. It is very convenient. If you choose to drive, there are parking lots around the temple. However, during the peak tourist season, the traffic volume is heavy, so it is recommended to set off early to find a parking space to avoid delays. 🎫Ticket Information The ticket price for Jokhang Temple is 35 yuan per person. After buying the ticket, you can freely visit various attractions in the temple. You can book tickets in advance on the online platform, or you can buy them at the entrance of the scenic spot. 🌟Visit highlights As you enter the Jokhang Temple, the first thing that catches your eye is the magnificent Main Hall. A statue of Sakyamuni Buddha is enshrined in the hall. The statue is exquisitely crafted, wrapped in a thick layer of silver skin and cast with more than 3,000 kilograms of pure silver. It is the largest and most complete silver statue of Sakyamuni in China. Under the light of butter lamps, it exudes a solemn and sacred light. Walking along the tour route, you can see exquisite murals, ancient scriptures and other precious cultural relics. These murals are painted with natural stone colors, with vivid pictures and bright colors. The contents cover classic Buddhist stories and characters, and have extremely high artistic value and historical significance. In addition, the monks' quarters in the temple are also a major attraction. You can see monks practicing and chanting scriptures, and feel the peaceful and harmonious religious atmosphere. But please be careful to keep quiet when visiting and respect the monks' practice and life. ⏰Opening hours Jokhang Temple is open from 08:00 to 18:00 all year round, and ticket sales and admission stop at 17:00. It is recommended to enter the park earlier, not only to avoid the peak flow of people, but also to better appreciate the architecture and cultural relics in the temple when there is sufficient light. 📌Notes Jokhang Temple is a sacred religious place. When visiting, you should dress appropriately and avoid wearing overly revealing clothes, such as short vests, shorts, etc. Do not make loud noises, run or play in the temple, and keep quiet. When taking photos, flash is prohibited in some areas, so pay attention to the relevant signs. When I went to the Jokhang Temple, I was infected by the strong religious atmosphere as soon as I stepped in. The solemn and majestic Main Hall, with its exquisite murals and Buddha statues, is breathtaking and makes one feel the profoundness of Tibetan Buddhist culture. Walking in the temple, the occasional sound of chanting seems to soothe all the restlessness in your heart. In short, Jokhang Temple is a place where one can calm the soul, and I recommend everyone to come and experience it.

I visited Dazhao (also known as Wuliang Temple in Chinese), a Tibetan Buddhist holy site located in Hohhot, a city in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Dazhao is a famous temple where both Emperor Shunzhi and Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty once stayed. The vibrant colors of Buddhist art against the bright blue winter sky make the temple incredibly beautiful. The temple features prayer wheels, which are said to accumulate merit with each turn, and various divine beasts are enshrined there. The most beautiful Bodhisattva statues and paintings are housed inside the buildings, and photography is prohibited, so I can't share them here, but they are truly impressive and worth a visit. The solemn and serene atmosphere inside the buildings is very awe-inspiring. You can sometimes hear the low chanting of the monks. Access is easy as there are many taxis in front of the rotary at Hohhot Station. Although English and Japanese are not spoken, the drivers are kind and will take you to Dazhao if you show them the name written in Chinese characters. It takes about 15 minutes from the station. The area around Dazhao is a temple town with restaurants and antique shops. I was surprised to see a KFC there (laughs). 🏖️ Atmosphere/Facilities: Solemn 📍 Location: Hohhot

The unique "Zhao Temple Culture" of Dazhao Temple Dazhao Temple means "big temple" in Tibetan. It is a Tibetan Buddhist temple located in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. It belongs to the Gelugpa (Yellow Sect). Its original Chinese name was "Hongci Temple". It was built in the seventh year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1579 AD) and was presided over by Altan Khan, the leader of the Tumed tribe of Mongolia. Because Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty lived here for several days, there is no living Buddha and it is respectfully called the Imperial Temple. In 1640, Huang Taiji bestowed the name "Wuliang Temple" in three languages: Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese. •The buildings of Dazhao Temple are divided into three sections: central, eastern and western. There is a Heavenly King Hall in each section. It is rare to have three Heavenly King Halls in the whole temple. The central gate is the "Wuliang Temple", the western Heavenly King Hall is the "Nine Frontiers First Spring", and the eight small towers in front of the western gate commemorate the eight great merits of Sakyamuni. •The Silver Buddha Hall has three unique features: First, the silver-cast Sakyamuni Buddha statue, which was cast by Nepalese craftsmen using 30,000 taels of pure silver. It is 3 meters high and is more than 400 years old. It is one of the largest silver Buddha statues in China. Second, the dragon carving. The two vivid golden dragons in front of the silver Buddha seat are about 10 meters high and are carved on two pillars. Looking from below, two dragons are flying and circling on the cloth. The dragon carvings are both lifelike and majestic. The raw materials are clay and slurry stone, and the craftsmanship is very sophisticated. Third, the murals are mainly Buddhist figures and stories, depicting various scenes in heaven, earth and hell. Among them, the most exquisite and fascinating ones are the debates and battles between the Buddha and the six teachers of the outsiders. The pictures are both coherent as a whole and independent. The whole picture depicts more than 770 gods, Buddhas, mortals and other figures. The murals of Dazhao are painted with natural stone colors. Although they have gone through hundreds of years, they are still colorful. •On the square white marble pedestal in front of the hall, there is a pair of hollow iron lions cast in the seventh year of the Tianqi reign of the Ming Dynasty (1627 AD). They look up with their heads held high and have a unique image. The iron incense burner of the Qing Dynasty in the courtyard is engraved with the name of the Mongolian craftsman. •The Jade Buddha Sakyamuni enshrined in the Jade Buddha Hall is carved from a whole piece of Burmese jade and weighs more than 20 tons. The Jade Buddha's robes are inlaid with more than 41,000 rubies and 7,000 diamonds, a total of 48,000 gems, representing that the Buddha was born on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month. •The Bodhisattva Hall enshrines the Thousand-armed Thousand-eyed Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. Surrounding the Bodhisattva are 21 niches enshrining 21 seated statues of Tara (the incarnation of the Bodhisattva) and dozens of prayer wheels. The standing statue of the Thousand-armed Thousand-eyed Avalokitesvara is about nine meters high and is carved from Qinghai's Pinus tabulaeformis. •The Dazhao Temple has a rich collection of cultural relics. The "three wonders" of silver Buddha, dragon carvings and murals are historical relics of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Xuande furnace, the dragon and phoenix peacock umbrella of the Qing Emperor Kangxi, the eight pearl and eight-treasure palace lanterns of the Kangxi Palace, the "Long Live the Dragon Tablet" of Kangxi, the gilded God of Wealth bestowed by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, thangkas of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and various ritual instruments and masks used in religious activities are all extremely precious historical relics and art treasures.

The Saixiang Old Street in Hohhot was truly an enchanting travel destination. This street, filled with ethnic charm, was highlighted by the friendliness and hospitality of the shop owners. Particularly, the numerous beautiful outdoor cafes scattered along the street allowed for a delightful coffee experience. The beef jerky was completely dried, making it very tough and enjoyable to chew. The cheese, grilled milk tofu pancakes, grilled milk skin, and rare fruit soup were also incredibly delicious. The handmade yogurt, in particular, was fresh and tasty, adding great joy to the trip. Enjoying a variety of foods and being able to bring delicious treats home was very satisfying. The experience here was truly a memorable journey.

Dazhao Historical and Cultural Tourism Area, you really had a blast! On a clear morning in late spring, the sunlight in Hohhot is exceptionally bright. We arrived at the Dazhao Historical and Cultural Tourism Area, the temple had not yet opened, but there were already quite a few people exercising in the square, as well as some photography enthusiasts with cameras in hand. The greenery around the square already had a taste of early summer, with shades of green set against the red walls and yellow tiles, exuding a sense of solemnity and majesty. Looking around, the temple buildings here, built during the Ming Dynasty and incorporating the exquisite and splendid characteristics of the Mongolian, Tibetan, and Han ethnicities, showcase this as a travel destination with a profound cultural heritage, and also demonstrate the power of national unity.
