Explore the Meizhou Thousand Buddha Pagoda in Meizhou (First Stop)

This serene, solemn, and magnificent Buddhist nunnery boasts over a thousand years of history. The inscription "Oriental Glazed Glass World" on the outermost gate hints at its exquisite beauty. The iron pagoda houses a total of one thousand Buddha images on its four sides, hence the name Thousand Buddha Pagoda (located at the very top). ✨ ✨Hey everyone, today I want to share an awe-inspiring historical relic—the Meizhou Thousand Buddha Iron Pagoda🎉 🎈Cast in the eighth year of the Southern Han Dynasty's Daba era (965 AD), this iron pagoda is incredibly ancient😃. Standing silently, it's a living history book📚. 📏At 4.2 meters tall, it may not reach towering heights, but it possesses a unique sense of grandeur. Its 1.6-meter-wide square base firmly anchors it to the earth👣. 😎The most breathtaking aspect is the tower itself! Each side is adorned with 250 Buddha statues of varying sizes, totaling one thousand across all four sides🧐. Each statue, though only about 3.6 cm high and 2.8 cm wide, displays a unique expression and incredibly detailed craftsmanship. Look closely👀, and you can almost sense the boundless dedication and exquisite skill of the artisans who created them💖.
