Datong Lingyan Temple is located in the center of the lake island in the Yungang Grottoes Scenic Area. After entering the gate of the scenic spot, walk through the Tanyao Square and cross the simple and elegant Seven-Arch Bridge. The gate of the temple appears in front of you. The main Buddha statues in the three main halls of Lingyan Temple are all made of huge camphor wood, carved by Master Huang Wenshou, a descendant of a wood carving family from Putian, Fujian Province. Among them, there are 3 main Buddhas in the mountain gate, with Maitreya Bodhisattva crossed in the middle, and Dharma protectors on both sides; there are 7 main Buddhas in the Thousand Buddha Hall, Sakyamuni Buddha in the middle, and Burning Buddha and Many Treasures on the left and right. Buddha, Avalokitesvara, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, etc.; the main statue of the Daxiong Hall is the Buddha of the past, present and future. The four turrets and six auxiliary buildings around the temple, together with the "one bucket and three liters herringbone arch", are even more fascinating.

It is so beautiful that it is comparable to Nara! No, better than Nara! Yungang Lingyan Temple is located in Yungang District, Datong City, adjacent to the Yungang Grottoes, one of the largest ancient grottoes in China. The Zen Temple was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,500 years.

Lingyan Temple was built in recent years. The original Yungang Grottoes had a small scenic area. In 2008, a large-scale expansion was carried out, and the area became nearly ten times that of the original. Lingyan Temple was built at that time At that time, eminent monks were invited to preside over the ceremony. There are also monks here now, and it can be seen that various dharma conferences are often held.

The building not far from the entrance of the Grotto Scenic Area is not a thousand-year-old building, but it is extremely beautiful. It is suitable for taking pictures whether it is sunny or cloudy and snowy. The palace with reeds is really good for close-up and long-range views. I didn’t bring Hanfu, I thought there was nothing good to shoot in winter, ah, I fainted in the toilet!

Sometimes you will get surprises if you don’t do the strategy carefully. The weather was fine yesterday, and you arrived at noon. There are very few tourists. Walking in it has the illusion of traveling through time and space. Although it is rebuilt, the architectural style is very different from the temples in the south, especially the color matching, which is the antique style I prefer. Whether it is an ancient building or an antique building, the atmosphere of each place can also be said to be different in history and culture. This is one of the joys of traveling.
