In Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, there is a Tibetan Buddhist temple called Dazhao Temple. When you first heard of Dazhao Temple, you will feel a little doubt, just because there is also a Jokhang Temple in Lhasa in the far west. "Call" and "Zhao" have the same pronunciation, but the meaning is different. "Call" is the meaning of Tibetan temples, and "Zhao" is the meaning of "Sakyamuni Buddha". Da Zhao Temple, the Han name was originally "Hongci Temple", later changed to "Woliang Temple", and because the temple is dedicated to a silver Buddha, also known as "Silver Buddha Temple." "Small is hidden in the mountains, and it is hidden in the city." Most of the temples I have seen are in the mountains, and the temple is an exception, located in the city centre of Hohhot. The so-called big hidden

Dazhao Wuliang Temple

Dazhao Temple is a large Tibetan Buddhism monastery in the southern part of Yuquan District, Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, China, belonging to the Gelug school (Yellow Sect). The word 'Dazhao' in its name means 'temple' in Tibetan. Originally named 'Hongci Temple', it was later changed to 'Wuliang Temple'. It is also known as 'Silver Buddha Temple' because it houses a silver Buddha statue. Dazhao Temple is the earliest Gelug monastery built in Hohhot and has a wide-ranging influence in the Mongolian region. It was founded by Altan Khan, the leader of the Tumed Mongol tribe during the Ming Dynasty, in the seventh year of the Wanli era (1579 AD). Completed in 1580, it is the earliest Lamaist monastery built in Hohhot and is also one of the few Mongolian temples without a living Buddha. Because Emperor Kangxi once stayed here for several days, to show respect for the emperor, the monks abolished the reincarnation system for the living Buddha. Dazhao is not only a Buddhist holy site but also a famous tourist destination known both in China and abroad. The splendid temple architecture, precious cultural relics and artworks, as well as the mysterious Cham dance and Buddhist music, constitute the unique 'Temple Culture' of Dazhao.

Hohhot | Unique Experience, Recommended for You Planning to Visit Dazhao Temple in June!

| Unique Experience, Recommended for You Planning to Visit Dazhao Temple in June! 🔥The incense at Dazhao Wuliang Temple in Hohhot, the capital of Inner Mongolia, is really booming! If you happen to pass by here like me, be sure to visit this Tibetan Buddhist temple beyond the Great Wall! 📍Dazhao Wuliang Temple on Alatan Khan Square | Dazhao Temple in Hohhot is located on Alatan Khan Square in the city center. This shows the great historical significance of Dazhao Temple in Hohhot. Alatan Khan is the founder of Hohhot, so the square in front of Dazhao is also called Alatan Square. 🏯The Ancient Architecture of Dazhao Temple | 4A Scenic Area Dazhao Temple is a Han-Tibetan style Gelug Buddhist temple that has been repaired several times, reflecting the complex relationship between the Manchu, Mongolian, and Han peoples. Therefore, the architecture within the temple includes the interlaced eaves of royal buildings with glazed tiles, as well as the traditional features of Tibetan Buddhism, and it also integrates the nomadic culture of the Mongols beyond the Great Wall. 🍀Inside the main hall, the Mahavira Hall, there is a silver Buddha, which is the main Buddha of Dazhao Wuliang Temple. Photography is not allowed inside the hall, but you can get a stamp. The layout of the entire temple is very complete, including the mountain gate, the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the Mahavira Hall, as well as the Nine-Room Hall and the Sutra Collection Pavilion. 🌼Unique Decorations Inside Dazhao Temple | ➰Thangkas, prayer flags, vajra knots, prayer wheels, and gesang flowers, all of which are characteristic of Tibetan Buddhist temples. ➰In front of the mountain gate, there is a unique horse sculpture, symbolizing the important meaning of 'horse hooves striking the ground, springs gushing forth.' ➰Inscriptions in Manchu, Mongolian, and Han languages are mixed throughout. ➰The plaques of the main hall and side halls are very much worth admiring. ➰Golden discs, the round golden discs on Tibetan-style buildings symbolize the sun, and are found in Tibetan Buddhist temples across the country, including many at Dazhao Temple. ➰White pama grass, a special Tibetan building material, last seen at the Potala Palace, and now at Dazhao Temple. ✅Experiences Available at Dazhao Temple | 〰-Listening to chanting, which is very worthwhile and solemn, located in the main hall. 〰-Requesting prayer beads, Dazhao Temple allows for the requesting of prayer beads, and they can be consecrated. 〰-Turning prayer wheels, which are on both sides of the main hall. 〰-Burning incense, there is a specific process for requesting and offering incense, available in the shops on both sides as you enter. 〰-Fortune telling, which is done in the main hall, with fortune interpretation in the Sutra Collection Pavilion. 〰-Travel photography, there are many travel photography shops at the entrance of Dazhao Temple, which are legitimate stores. I personally recommend wearing the 'tall hat' style, which looks more solemn in front of the Shakyamuni Eight Stupas at the entrance of Dazhao Temple, and also makes for great photos. 🌟Travel Tips | 🌈Recommended visiting time: About 2 hours 🔥Go early, there are few people before 10 am, and it's not hot 🚴🏻It's recommended to take public transportation, and if driving, you can park at the Xilituzhao Temple parking lot 🎫Ticket price: 35 yuan per person, with discounts for seniors and students

In the crowded Da Zhao Temple, how can I take a portrait of a Mongolian princess

My trips can only be on holidays, and I always can't avoid the crowded people. However, facing the crowded scenic spots, I can also take a portrait with a sense of exclusivity. This time at the Da Zhao Temple scenic spot in Hohhot, I took a life photo of the Mongolian princess again. ✅ Step one: Rent a costume Near the Ming and Qing Street outside the Da Zhao Temple, there are many costume rental shops with a variety of styles, including Mongolian robes and Tibetan costumes, which are beautifully made, with styles for spring, summer, autumn, and winter. You can ask several shops to find one with good value for money. I rented a Mongolian dress with green edges for 100 yuan for two hours including makeup, which is very cost-effective. The dress I chose was brighter with green edges, and the hairstyle and makeup were also very ethnic. ✅ Step two: Shooting in the scenic area If you can take photos yourself, you don't need to spend money on a photographer. To take a portrait in a crowded scenic area, just pay attention to the following points: ▫️ Take close-ups The big scenes in front of the palace are crowded with people, no matter how you take the photo, you can't avoid the crowd, so it's better to take more close-ups. The makeup of the Mongolian princess also highlights the facial makeup and hair accessories, which are very suitable for taking close-ups of the face. The Da Zhao Temple is exquisite everywhere, even the corners are not inferior, so it is very easy to find backgrounds for close-ups in the Da Zhao Temple, such as walls, columns, corridors, prayer wheels, prayer flags, etc., all of which are very characteristic. ▫️ Shoot from a low angle Since the ground is full of people, shoot from a low angle to avoid the crowd. The architecture of the Da Zhao Temple is like a work of art, with richly colored glazed tiles, and colorful prayer flags fluttering, which are very suitable for low-angle shots. The photographer needs to squat down, and the model leans forward and looks down slightly to take a photo of the person with the building. ▫️ Use height difference Standing on the steps, you can avoid the crowd on the ground behind you, and you can also take a photo of the person with the tall building. ▫️ Be patient and wait The more effort you put in earlier, the less trouble you'll have later. When there are people around but not too many, be patient and wait, keep the pose and camera position unchanged, and you will always find that moment when there are no people, and press the shutter. ✅ Step three: Retouching Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, there will still be a few people in the photo. By retouching, you can easily remove them with tools like the clone stamp, and the exclusive Mongolian princess portrait is completed.

Visiting Hohhot, I was deeply moved by the religious ceremony at the Dazhao Wuliang Temple

It's like a paradise on earth! Hohhot is definitely worth bringing family and friends to check in. It's too beautiful! When you come to Hohhot, head straight for the two temples across the street. The Xiaozhao (Xilitu Zhao) is known for its tranquility and exquisiteness, with more Tibetan-style Lama pagodas inside. Entering around 4 pm, I just caught the temple ceremony, which was already very impressive. The Dazhao (Dazhao Wuliang Temple) is superior as a royal (Kangxi) family temple, with a higher status and larger scale. It houses the largest existing silver Tibetan Buddhist statue and the Thousand-Handed Guanyin statue is also extraordinary. I was equally fortunate to catch the 9:30 am ceremony. Although I couldn't understand the content, the experience was still overwhelming. Perhaps it's because it's the first time for a Han Chinese person to visit a Tibetan temple, but seeing the richly colored and gorgeous prayer flags, the exquisite and beautiful Thangka paintings, the mysterious texts and symbols, and the devout prostrations of the faithful, one can feel the power of religious culture and faith. It's worth mentioning that the Naichun Temple within the Dazhao should be entered with caution; it seems to enshrine a deity similar to Yama in Tibetan Buddhism, with many skull patterns in the inner sanctuary, which can be a bit frightening when seen suddenly. The other halls are all worth a detailed look. If you get tired, you can find a cool corner to sit in, watch the flocks of pigeons and swallows chirping on the temple roof, see the golden light shining from the temple roof under the blue sky and sunlight, and deeply appreciate the unique scent of incense in the temple and the inner peace it brings.

Praying at the Dazhao Temple

The day I first arrived at the Dazhao Temple, it was snowing lightly, which was completely different from my revisit on a sunny day with a blue sky. Fortunately, during my short trip to Qingcheng, I had the opportunity to appreciate this famous ancient temple outside the Great Wall from close range and from multiple angles, and different psychological experiences lingered in my mind. Especially when I visited the Wuliang Temple of the Dazhao Temple again on a day when the sky was clear, listening to the crisp metallic sound of the bells hanging at the corners of the tower, and various colorful prayer flags fluttering with the wind outside the Great Wall, as the saying goes: sincerity is spiritual.

Dazhao Temple · The brilliance on the Great Gobi

Dazhao Temple is the largest temple in Hohhot. Dazhao, called 'Yike Zhao' means 'big temple', where 'Zhao' is Tibetan for 'temple', is a Gelug sect of Tibetan Buddhism, built in 1580, mainly to promote the Yellow Religion, and the earliest temple built in Hohhot. The temple is famous for its silver Buddha, murals, and dragon carvings. Whether it's architecture, murals, or Buddha statues, they are all worth savoring. Outside Dazhao Temple, the old street is lined with shops, and the night view is very charming, attracting many travel photographers. In the cool autumn night, strolling in it has a unique charm.

The Dazhao Temple in Hohhot

The Dazhao Temple was presided over by Altan Khan, the leader of the Tumote tribe in the Ming Dynasty, in the seventh year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty. It is a large Tibetan Buddhist temple and belongs to the Gelug sect (Yellow Sect). The word 'Zhao' in Dazhao Temple means temple in Tibetan, and its original Chinese name was 'Hongci Temple', which was later changed to 'Wuliang Temple'. Because there is a silver Buddha enshrined in the temple, that is, the statue of Sakyamuni enshrined in the Buddha Hall, made by Nepalese craftsmen, the whole body is cast from 30,000 taels of pure silver, so Dazhao Temple is also called 'Silver Buddha Temple'. The treasures of the Dazhao Temple are extremely rich, and the silver Buddha, dragon carvings, and murals have become the 'three unique features' of the Dazhao Temple, which are historical relics of the Ming Dynasty. As a tourist, I feel that the Dazhao Temple is a great place to worship Buddha. The halls are magnificent and gorgeous, the Buddha statues and Thangka murals are exquisite, the entire temple is not commercialized, and you can truly feel the charm of Tibetan Buddhism and cleanse your soul in the Sanskrit.
