The hanging sculptures at Qianfo Temple are unrivaled.

As a branch of painted sculpture art, hanging sculptures are colorful, three-dimensional works of art attached to wall surfaces. They are typically decorated with bright, rich colors and intricate layers, creating a visually stunning and dynamic effect. The main hall of Qianfo Temple features over a dozen layers of hanging sculptures. These radiant, multicolored sculptures depict mythical creatures soaring through the clouds and vibrant flowers blooming beyond ornately carved railings. The layered pavilions, surrounded by auspicious clouds, evoke a scene of celestial palaces and Buddhist wonderlands.
