In the ancient charm of Jin Dongnan, I embarked on a journey through the time of the Tang and Song dynasties. 🚶‍♂️🏰 Faxing Temple, this name echoes in the long river of history. It is not just a temple, but a cultural heritage. 📍【Visit Changzhi Faxing Temple】 Address: Cuiyun Mountain, Cuizhuang Village, Cilin Town, Changzi County, Changzhi City Ticket: Only 15 yuan to appreciate the thousand-year-old Tang and Song charm Opening hours: 9:00 - 11:30; 14:00 - 17:30 🚗【Travel Tips】 - Free parking, but you need to walk to the temple gate along the long steps, feeling the weight of history. 🏰【Historical Overview】 - Built in the Northern Wei Dynasty, it has gone through the Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties, with each generation leaving its mark. From Cilin Temple to Guangde Temple, and then to Faxing Temple, each renaming is a witness to history. 🏯【Temple Layout】 - The original site was relocated to the southern slope of Cuiyun Mountain due to geological changes. It is situated by the mountain and water, facing north to south, with a two-entry courtyard. Every step on the central axis echoes history. 👀【Must-See Highlights】 1️⃣ Tang Dynasty Stone Relic Pagoda - A unique piece among unique pieces, a square two-story stone pagoda, each stone slab tells the story of the Tang Dynasty. 2️⃣ Tang Dynasty Lantern Pagoda - An octagonal single-story stone pagoda, with auspicious beasts, inscriptions, and doors and windows, every detail showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Tang Dynasty sculpture. 3️⃣ Yuanjue Hall and Song Dynasty Sculptures - Rebuilt in the Song Dynasty, imitating the Song Dynasty reconstruction, the cycle of history is reflected here. 22 colored sculptures, each one is awe-inspiring, especially the Water-Moon Guanyin, with its elegant posture and serene expression, as if it can transcend time and space. 📸【Special Tips】 - You can take photos now! 🎉 Capture the thousand-year-old ancient charm with your camera!
