Taishan Longquan Temple

introduce

Taishan Temple is also known as Taishan Longquan Temple. According to legend, in the Northern Han Dynasty, there was a mountain man Shi Gandang who was famous for his bravery, and the mountain where he lived was also famous all over the world. The name of the temple comes from the homonym of "Taishan Shigandang".

According to records, Longquan Temple was originally the Haotian Temple of Taoism. It was first built in the first year of Tang Jingyun (710) and was destroyed by the Jin and Yuan wars. Tongzi and other 5 temples were merged. Longquan Temple in Mount Tai faces south from the north, and the halls and pavilions are built according to the mountain situation, with uneven heights and spread out layer by layer. Outside the mountain gate is a large flat land, and the foundation of the cave-style Lelou still exists today. The gate of the mountain is suspended on the top of the mountain, and the forehead is called "ancient temple in the mountains and forests".

The bells and drum towers on the left and right wings of the temple are made of brick and wood. The iron bell on the bell tower was recast in the tenth year of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty (1745), and it is still intact. The main hall is five rooms wide and two rooms deep, with two floors. The bottom floor is a brick cave dwelling dedicated to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva; the upper floor is a brick and wood structure hall originally dedicated to Buddha Sakyamuni. In the backyard of Longquan Temple, there are three octagonal pointed buildings juxtaposed, namely the three halls of Guanyin, Manjusri and Puxian.

Climbing the mountain is not too tiring. It takes more than two hours to go up and down. There are Buddha relics, but I can't see clearly.

Tickets are reasonable, the scenery is good, the trails are well built, there is a Dragon King Temple on the mountain where you can visit, and there are still many places under construction, which will not affect tourists' play. It is recommended to take family and friends to climb the mountain for relaxation.

Longquan Temple in Mount Tai is a must-see attraction on the first day of the new year every year. Climbing up and looking far is a good start. Although climbing the mountain is very tiring, it is also very fulfilling and very happy. When you come to the scenic spot, you can also see the unearthed relics with your own eyes, but you are not allowed to take pictures in the place where you enshrine, so you should know about it.

The first time I went to Taiyuan Taishan Longquan Temple to ask for a ticket, the second time I went in winter, I didn’t need a ticket, and recently I asked for a ticket again. Both Mengshan and Mengshan are the places covered by the annual travel ticket of Taiyuan. Parking is 10 yuan, go in and walk across the bridge, I remember Li Cunxiao's tomb, then go up the mountain along the stream, there are temples, and the glass pavilion where the seven-fold coffin of relics was dug out
