Datong Huayan Temple is a temple full of royal aristocratic atmosphere. It overlooks from a height, its magnificent scale and beaded red facade, much like the Forbidden City in Beijing.
Huayan Temple was built by the Liao Kingdom Royal Family in 1038, and the name of the temple was taken from the Buddhist classic "Hua Yan Jing".
In the ancient times, the Northern War continued, Huayan Temple was once destroyed. In 1140, that is, Jin Tianyu three years, Huayan Temple experienced reconstruction. In the subsequent Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, Huayan Temple was repaired. However, due to the war, the scale of the Huayan Temple after the restoration was not as good as the initial construction. In 2008, Huayan Temple experienced the last revision and completely restored the grandeur of the Liao period.
Huayan Temple sits west to east, and more than 30 buildings including Shanmen, Zangzhen Building, Square Wooden Pagoda and various halls are arranged on the north-south main axis, with strict layout. Among them, the Daxiong Hall is one of the largest Buddhist temples in the Liao and Jin Dynasties, with an area of 1,559 square meters. Because the hall is constructed with a reduced column structure, the interior space is extremely open, and dozens of Qing Dynasty giant murals remaining in the four walls are solemn. Lost beauty.
Small Raiders: Datong Railway Station and Long-distance Bus Station have cars arriving at Huayan Temple. Self-driving can directly locate Datong Huayan Temple.
It is worth noting that the opening hours of Huayan Temple in summer and winter are different, and the opening hours in summer are 8
Absolutely going to the attraction. Very shocking. The charm of the ancient building is unimaginable and brings a very strong feeling of dialogue with the ancients. The depth of the hall is very deep. The interior space is very wide. Even if you don't take pictures. There can be a strong touch in the hall.
It is a very spiritual place. The five-way Bodhisattva in the main hall in the middle. We went to see the five-way Bodhisattva's head in the afternoon. There are also colorful koi Xiangyun on the road. It is worth a visit. Fengshui treasure.
Very worth visiting attractions in the ancient city! Save some time to visit! It's big. We went shopping for almost 2 hours. I don't feel like I need to explain. You can go again in the afternoon and stroll around the city.

Many years ago, I listened to an evening class singing scriptures at Huayan Temple and liked it here. At that time, the ancient city of Datong had not been built. This time I came on a business trip and lived in the original place, but I lay in the hotel with a fever, but I really wanted to listen to the singing scriptures, so I got up and rushed away, but unfortunately I didn’t hear it. But the ancient city is not bad.
Huayan Temple must come and visit, and must hire a tour guide. If you don't hire a tour guide, the historical and cultural style is really incomprehensible. Very shocking and worthwhile. The hall is very beautiful, and Datong is really a pet-friendly city, Huayan Temple can bring dogs. Great.
The magnificent construction of the temple, the whole basically restores the previous scale renovation. The Liaojin construction of the Daxiong Temple and Bojiao Jiazang and the Buddha statue are of historical value. It is also the first time to see the difference between the statue craftsmanship of the nomadic famous people in the north and the Han culture of the Central Plains. It is worth experiencing many times.
