Kaihua Root Palace Buddhist Kingdom is a unique 5A scenic area that perfectly blends thousand-year-old tree roots with Zen culture, leaving visitors deeply impressed. The park's Tang-style ancient buildings are built against the mountainside, surrounded by lush vegetation and the fragrance of wood, creating a truly immersive atmosphere. The core exhibit is a colossal root carving that is truly breathtaking. The over 40-ton Shakyamuni Buddha statue is solemn and imposing, while the 600-meter-long corridor of 500 Arhats displays a variety of expressions, each carved following the natural texture of the tree root, showcasing the craftsman's ingenuity. Besides Buddhist statues, there are also root carvings for children and root art depicting historical stories, catering to both aesthetic appreciation and enjoyment, suitable for all ages. Climbing to the top of the Root Palace Pagoda offers panoramic views of Kaihua city. The scenic area has a long route, requiring at least half a day to explore thoroughly. It is moderately commercialized, avoiding noise and commotion. Immersed in this place, one can experience the artistic charm of intangible cultural heritage root carving and find inner peace, making it a treasure trove of cultural attractions in western Zhejiang worth a special trip.
