📿【Hohhot Dazhao Temple|A Quiet Treasure in the Northern Buddhist Capital】

#Register for August Hotel Sleep Tester 2025 📍Location: Dazhaoqian Street, Old Town, Hohhot, Inner Mongolia 🎫 Tickets: about ¥35 (can be bought on site) 🕰️ Recommended stay: 1 hour 📷 Photo spots: Stone lion in front of Silver Buddha Hall, Dazhao Archway, Tibetan Golden Dome Building Complex, Incense Floor Area ⸻ Dazhao Temple, also known as "Wuliang Temple", is one of the oldest and most representative Tibetan Buddhist temples in Hohhot, with a history of more than 400 years⏳. When I visited in the early morning, the sun shone on the golden top of the temple, the light and shadow intertwined, very serene and sacred✨ 🧘♀️ The most famous one is the Silver Buddha Hall and the gilt Buddha statue, which is really super solemn, my heart is quiet when I see it. Many believers in the temple are walking around holding prayer wheels, the atmosphere is very pure 🙏 ⸻ 🪷 Historical Trivia: • Built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (c. 1580), earlier than the Yonghe Palace in Beijing • Canonized as "Great Call" by the emperor in the Qing Dynasty, meaning "Great Call" • It was the station of the Qing Emperor when he patrolled the border! ⸻ 💡Visit Tips: • 🚫Please do not make noise or take pictures when viewing Buddha statues/entering the main hall • 👟 Wear comfortable shoes, some roads are bluestone • 🕯️ You can add fragrant oil in small amounts as you wish, and you can also experience the transfer of prayer wheels 🙏 ⸻ Although the Dazhao Temple is not big, it is worth a visit, especially if you want to understand the religious culture of Inner Mongolia + Tibetan Buddhist architectural style, you can take pictures and be quiet🧡 ⸻ #Dazhao Temple #Hohhot Attractions #Tibetan Buddhism #Trip.comMoments #Inner Mongolia Trip #Monuments Tour #City Quiet
