"Panchen Lama's Palace" - Xumi Temple of Fortune and Longevity

On the morning of January 4, 2025, we arrived at the Xumi Fu Shou Temple in Chengde, also known as the "Panchen Lama Palace". It was built by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty to welcome the Sixth Panchen Lama of Tibet to come and congratulate Emperor Qianlong's 70th birthday. It was modeled after the Panchen Lama's residence, the Tashilhunpo Monastery. Located on Shiziyuan Road, Shuangqiao District, Chengde City, Hebei Province, to the east of Putuo Zongcheng Temple. It was built in the 45th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1780). The Xumi Fu Shou Temple faces south and covers an area of ​​37,920 square meters. It is mainly Tibetan-style architecture, and its architectural techniques and floor plan clearly bear the characteristics of Han-style temple architecture. It is an outstanding example of traditional Chinese garden art. Behind the mountain gate, stele pavilion and glazed archway is the huge red platform. Behind the Dahongtai are the Jinhe Hall and Wanfa Zongyuan Hall, which are in the shape of a U. Finally, on the steep mountain top stands an octagonal seven-story yellow-green glazed pagoda, which puts a perfect end to the entire temple. The glazed archway (the tour guide said there are three such archways in my country, two in Chengde and one in Xiangshan) is in the Han style with three rooms, four pillars and seven floors, with flying corners and stacked brackets. The plaque inscribed with the inscription "Zongzhi Buddha Realm" by Emperor Qianlong in four languages, Manchu, Chinese, Mongolian and Tibetan, is hung high on the glazed archway. It is a symbol of the transformation of the overall architectural style of the temple and a boundary of its level. Myoko-sougan-den
