Ciyunsi Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Ciyun Temple, formerly known as Fahua Temple, was built in the Tang Dynasty. The temple is rigorous in structure and unique in shape. The overall layout is a three-entry courtyard. The main buildings include the Shanmen, King Kong Hall, Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Daxiong Hall, Shiji Hall, Pilu Hall, Guanyin Hall and Dizang Hall. The Bell and Drum Tower in front of the Daxiong Palace is a more distinctive building in the temple. It was built in the Yuan Dynasty. It absorbed the tent roof style of the nomads outside the Great Wall in its architectural model, forming a unique style. In the second entrance courtyard, there is a Shiji Hall. The murals in the hall are unique in Ciyun Temple. On the wall of more than 100 square meters, there are twenty-four heavens, eight parts of Tianlong, etc., which were painted in the Ming Dynasty. There are more than 200 Buddha statues of various sizes in each hall, which have disappeared and have high artistic value. Behind this hall is the Pilu Hall. The wooden sculptures on both sides of the hall were originally stored in the "Sanzang Quanshu", a total of more than 8,800 volumes, which were later moved to the Datong Museum.

Very distinctive, with cultural history, to experience the experience?
Very big temple, many believers, very spiritual place. You can visit it.
Good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good,
The New Year acquaintance took the free to enter, and a enthusiastic old monk took it to the temple to visit. Because of the New Year, I invested money in the temple's merit box. The temple was maintained as a whole. In short, it was a worthwhile trip.
Ciyun Temple is not a very famous attraction here. There are not many people who come here to play. It can be beautiful here. It feels like this is not much meaning.
