Chongyuan Temple, Yangcheng Lake.

Chongyuan Temple was first built in the second year of the Tianjian period of Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty during the Southern and Northern Dynasties (503 AD), only one year apart from the construction of Hanshan Temple, and has a history of 1504 years. In history, Chongyuan Temple was a Buddhist place of Zen Buddhism, and the incense was very prosperous. The rebuilt Chongyuan Temple is located in the beautiful Yangcheng Lake Peninsula. The biggest feature is the 33-meter-high Guanyin statue in the Water Guanyin Courtyard, which is a landscape that reflects the unique style of Chongyuan Temple's Lotus Buddha Kingdom and Guanyin Dojo. The temple buildings include the mountain gate, the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the Bell and Drum Tower, and the Great Hall of the Great Heroes. The Great Hall of the Great Heroes has a construction area of 2,100 square meters, which is the largest single building in domestic temples. The Guanyin Island in front of the temple enshrines the largest 33-meter-high Guanyin statue in China. Looking at Chongyuan Temple from Yangcheng Lake, the majestic Great Hall of the Great Heroes is magnificent, the Guanyin Pavilion with flying eaves and corners is magnificent, plus the main buildings of the temple are advancing layer by layer, and the Guanyin statue, copper cavity leather drum, sea island Guanyin wall and the bronze bell that can make the first sound of the Tang Dynasty, etc., have reproduced the style of Chongyuan Temple. Ticket price: CNY 20
