Chenxiang Pavilion, formerly known as "Ciyun Zen Temple", covers an area of 2378 mu. It is a unique Bichuni temple. There are Tianwang Palace, Daxiong Palace, Guanyin Pavilion, Kalan Palace and Yingci Master Memorial Hall in the Cabinet. Chenxiang Pavilion is famous for its worship of "Chenxiang Guanyin". The original image of Guanyin has been destroyed in ten years of catastrophe. The present Guanyin Pavilion is dedicated to the image of Ruyilun Guanyin donated by Hong Kong followers. In front of the Pavilion there are four pillars, three gates and double eaves archway, with the words "Chenxiang Pavilion" written by Shamenghai. In the Temple of Heavenly Kings, Maitreya wore a Tianchuan on his head and his right foot on his left foot. This is the Bodhisattva face of Maitreya when he was practicing in heaven. It is the true image of Maitreya, which is quite different from that of Maitreya in general monasteries. Four heavenly kings stand on both sides, which is different from the general Buddhist Temple sitting posture. The central part of Daxiong Palace is "Three Saints of Huayan". Among them are Luxena Buddha, Manjusri on both sides, around the service of the sages, and Brahma, where the emperor releases two gods. This kind of offering is also rare in Jiangnan monasteries. Avalokitesvara Cabinet is dedicated to Avalokitesvara, known as "Ruyilun Avalokitesvara". Chenxiang Pavilion is as famous as Longhua, Jing'an and Jade Buddha. In 1988, it was listed as one of the first batch of 142 key open temples in China by the State Council. Today, though not the original image, Avalokitesvara still has both form and spirit. It is a treasure of Buddha and its incense is flourishing all day long.

    Although the sparrow is small and complete, it is the Temple of the Heavenly King when entering the mountain gate. The Temple of the Heavenly King is named because there are four heavenly kings in it, protecting the meaning of the temple. The architectural function of the Temple of the Heavenly King belongs to the Temple. The so-called "Door Temple" is simply the shape of the Temple and the function of the door. The architectural pattern of the Temple of Heavenly Kings must reflect the solemn and grandeur, but its height and specifications cannot exceed the main temple, so the roof of the Temple of Heavenly Kings is mostly a mountain top, and the top of the Temple of Heavenly Kings is generally not used in the Temple of Heavenly Kings. The temple is dedicated to the statue of Maitreya in the middle, the statue of the four heavenly kings on the left and right, and the statue of Wei Yutianzun on the back. Famous for the worship of the four heavenly kings, it is the only temple in the Buddhist temple building that is not named after the Lord.

    Achenko is now a nun, and everyone who has been there knows it. From the name, it is known that it was not related to Achenko and a nun at first. The owner of Yu Garden built a pavilion here, and there was a view of the sound and video made of aloe wood, which was for the aloe of the aloe of the aloe of the aloe of the aloe of the aloe of the aloe of the aloe of the aloe of the aloe of the aloe of the aloe of the aloe of the aloe of the a There is a agar pavilion in the backyard, and there is a separate charge. The Guanyin image inside is a new thing. The original one was smashed as early as the "breaking four old". Because the gold body is shaped, it is actually not a wood carving, not the original shipment of Wanli years, but it is also very precious!

    The entire monastery is quite large, with Mi Temple in front of it, Shanmen Stone Square; there are Daxiong Temple, Achenxiang Buddha Temple, as well as Crane Temple, Qiandian Zen Hall and left and right wing buildings. The architectural form of the pavilion is solemn and elegant, which is very prominent in the whole temple. The pavilion is famous for praying for the rain for the officials of the city in the Qing Dynasty. The pavilion is famous for serving the achenyin. The pavilion is carved from achenyin wood, fine work, smooth lines and chic shape.

    Achenxiang Pavilion is located at No. 29 Achenxiang Pavilion Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai, China. It is a bicunian road. Achenxiang Pavilion was first built by Pan Yunduan in the Ming Dynasty in order to worship a achenxiang viewing video during the Wanli period, and then rebuilt and expanded at the current site in the Qing Dynasty to form the existing scale. During the Cultural Revolution, all the Buddha statues in the Achenko Pavilion were destroyed and the temples were used as factories. In 1983, the Achenko Pavilion resumed religious activities and was completely restored in 1994.
