The journey of exploring ancient buildings in Shanxi is worthwhile

🚩There are too many places to travel in Shanxi, but when you see these exquisite ancient buildings, you will be shocked by their charm, and you will realize that the time left for us by these ancient buildings is not much. ✅ Location: Hongtong County, Linfen, Shanxi ✅ Scenic spot: Guangsheng Temple ✅ Transportation: Take the high-speed train to Hongtong West Station, and then take a taxi or bus to Guangsheng Temple (you can take the No. 21 bus directly to the scenic area) ✅ Tickets: 44 yuan ✅ Tips: 1. Guangsheng Temple is divided into lower temple and upper temple. The lower temple is located at the foot of the mountain, and the upper temple needs to climb the mountain to reach. There is a shuttle bus in the scenic area, which charges 10 yuan per person and can go up and down the mountain in 10 minutes. 2. Guangsheng Temple has three absolute features: First is the Feihong Tower, located in the upper temple, inlaid with glazed tiles all over, very exquisite; second is the Yuan Dynasty murals, located in the Water God Temple of the lower temple; and finally the Zhaocheng Gold Treasury, which is no longer in the temple. 3. In addition, there is a must-see Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva hanging sculpture, densely hanging on the roof, which is shocking. ❤️❤️❤️ Feihong Tower Feihong Tower is one of the five Buddhist relics towers of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the tower swept by Tang Monk in 'Sweeping the Tower and Arguing the Strange Injustice'. It is one of the tallest colorful glazed towers in the world. This tower was built in the Han Dynasty and was rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty. It is inlaid with colorful glazed tiles all over, dazzling and shining with colorful lights. Various images are carved on the tower body, such as Bodhisattva, Vajra warriors and children, which are lifelike. Lonely Planet once commented: 'If ranking the buildings in Shanxi by appearance, Guangsheng Temple could be at the top with the Feihong Tower.' I hope to have the opportunity to explore the charm of more ancient buildings in Shanxi in the future.
