Hainan Tourism | Not in Phuket, not in Koh Samui, but in Wenchang, Hainan Island

At the easternmost point of Hainan Island, there is a Thai-style temple building, which was funded by Mr. Chen Yingdu, a Thai-Chinese from Wenchang, Hainan, in 1993, and built in imitation of the Buddha statue and temple on the top of Pattaya Mountain in Thailand. Wenchang is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese, and the Hainanese compatriots in Southeast Asian countries are basically from Wenchang or set off from Wenchang to cross the ocean. Climbing on the top of the mountain and looking out, Chinese style, Thai style, hometown, other places, the boundaries are gradually blurred. The total height of the Buddha statue is 16m, facing the South China Sea, and there are seven relief Buddhas on the front of the base. Inside the Buddha Light Temple, there are also scriptures of the 'Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra' copied by the 32nd generation of martial monks, Master Xingfo, from Shaolin Temple in Henan. Resting on the top of the mountain for a while, overlooking the Xiaoao Bay beach, the heart is extremely calm, gradually waiting for the sunset to leave. 🚗It is recommended to drive there, navigate to 'Tonggu Buddha Light Temple', and you can park your car in the open space in front of the temple gate along the road. If it is full, you can park on the roadside and walk in. 🙏The temple provides free incense for worshiping Buddha, and there is no admission fee. 👔It is recommended to wear light-colored clothes by the sea, which matches the high saturation of the temple. But when you go to the temple to worship Buddha, you still need to pay attention to dress neatly.
