Zhongwei Gao Temple, located in the urban area of Zhongwei, was formerly known as Baoan Temple. Unlike most other temples, it is a temple built on a high platform, so it is also called "Gao Temple". Because it is built on a high platform, the main buildings in the temple are arranged along the central axis from low to high, layer upon layer. In a small area, there are more than 260 towers and pavilions. When tourists are visiting, after entering the mountain gate, they can visit the entire temple from bottom to top along the north-south central axis. When you walk through the archway and walk up the steps, you can see the "Maitreya Pavilion" enshrining the Maitreya Buddha. After the Maitreya Pavilion is the Mahavira Hall enshrining the seated statue of Sakyamuni. Starting from the Daxiong Hall, continue to climb the steps, that is, Nantianmen, Bell Tower, and you can also go to the underground of the high temple, that is, the interior of the high platform. Positive stories to warn the world. When you play in the high temple, you can also pay more attention to the details of the buildings in the lower temple, such as brick carvings, stone carvings, pillars in the corners, etc. These details are exquisitely patterned and exquisitely made, reflecting the rigorous and careful construction of ancient buildings.

Zhongwei Gaomiao is located on the high platform (including the security temple under the high platform) built on the north of Chengbei . in Zhongwei City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. It is rumored that it was built in the Ming Yongle period (1403- 1424), and has undergone the construction and renovation of the generation. It has become a large-scale ancient building complex in the Qing Dynasty, showing the style of Ningxia ancient architecture. It is famous for the "magic of the desert" and is one of the two major landscapes in Zhongwei.
Very exquisite, Buddha statues are lifelike. Free, but we spent 70 yuan to buy the explanation, more interesting. 500 Luohan is designed and carved by Chinese people, but it looks like the face characteristics of India's west. Various animal and plant artifacts have meanings. The archway built in the Qing Dynasty, Buddha and Confucianism converged. There are also some jade Buddha statues sent by Myanmar, and the characters are slim and beautiful. Although I rarely go to the temple, this is the most exquisite I have seen. The carving gallery is very vivid and not perfunctory. Of course, I like temples, I also recommend Niushou Mountain in Nanjing, and the Buddha's Land Palace is also beautiful. Gao Temple has a Hell Palace, which is relatively cold. You have to wear more in summer. The king and punishment are allusions.
A place with a lot of historical heritage, it is worth calming down and taking a good look...
Location downtown, with the park, the building is very distinctive.
Gao Temple, also known as Baoan Temple, was built in Yongle period of Ming Dynasty. Architecture combines Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, bringing more color to Chinese ancient architectural art. The whole temple, repeated buildings and pavilions, scattered, winding corridors, quiet and elegant. There are many exquisite flowers, vegetables, rare birds and beasts on the wall corridors, doors and windows, grilles and arches of the whole complex, which provide valuable historical data for the study of ancient architectural art.
