Fǎzàngjiǎng Temple

TIME : 2016/2/17 11:49:37

This simple but very active temple is curiously accessed from the west, rather than the south where the entrance to Buddhist temples usually lies. The restored main hall encloses a large modern statue of Sakyamuni, seated lily-top between two walls glinting with gilded luóhàn (arhat).

Other lesser halls shelter a trinity of golden Buddhist effigies and there's a small shrine to the Buddhist god of the underworld, Dizang Wang. A handy vegetarian restaurant (from 9am to 9pm) is right next door for karmic sustenance.
