Fǎyǔ Temple

TIME : 2016/2/17 11:51:19

Colossal camphor trees and a huge gingko tree tower over this Chan (Zen) temple, where a vast glittering statue of Guanyin sits resplendently in the main hall, flanked by 18 luóhàn effigies. Each luóhàn has a name – for example the Crossing the River luóhàn or the Long Eyebrows luóhàn – and worshippers pray to each in turn. In the hall behind stands a dextrous 1000-arm Guanyin.

Get to the temple by bus from the ferry terminal (¥10), Pǔjì Temple (¥5), cable car (¥10) or Fànyīn Cave (¥10).
