Hohhot not only has the Dazhao Temple but also the Xiaozhao Xilituzhao Temple

Xilituzhao Temple | Hohhot | Built in the Ming Longqing period Also known as Xiaozhao Temple I was shocked by its grandeur when I first saw it Every corner of this temple reflects its past glory Later, I learned that Emperor Kangxi had visited this place (I really have a connection with our family’s Kangxi 🤣) The ancient Buddha Hall was originally built in the Liao Dynasty It enshrines the most lifelike statue of Shakyamuni Buddha to date The gentle smile of the World-Honored One is filled with compassion and is very moving 🙏 On both sides are enshrined the Eight Medicine Buddhas And the "Medicine King Sutra" bestowed by Emperor Kangxi 🙏 The current site is actually the new Xiaozhao Temple The original Xiaozhao Temple has been destroyed and no longer exists The original Xiaozhao Temple was a temple where the younger brother of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang served as the abbot Emperor Kangxi stayed at this temple twice And left his armor and sword as a memento Thus, Xiaozhao Temple has a Sun Armor Day Every year, Kangxi's armor is taken out and displayed Personally, compared to Dazhao Temple Xiaozhao Temple has a more impactful sense of historical relics 🎫 Ticket Information: Ticket 25 yuan ⌚️ Opening Hours: Summer Time 08:00-18:00 (Ticket sales stop at 17:30), Winter Time 09:00-17:00 (Ticket sales stop at 16:30) 📍 Address: No. 112, Dannan Street, Yuquan District, Hohhot, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region 🚗 Transportation Information: Self-driving: Drive from the People's Government of Yuquan District, Hohhot, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region to Xilituzhao Temple and Family Temple, about 5.7 kilometers, taking about 17 minutes.
