Chongqing Temple.

Chongqing Temple is a temple with a long history and important cultural and artistic value. Chongqing Temple is located in Ziyun Mountain, 22 kilometers southeast of Zhangzi County, Changzhi City, Shanxi Province. It is built on the mountain and faces the valley, with a beautiful environment. The temple was built in the early years and is now the fourth batch of national key cultural relics protection units. The main cultural relics in the temple are rich and diverse. Among them, the Thousand Buddha Hall is a model of small-scale Xieshan-style wooden buildings in the early Northern Song Dynasty. The eighteen Arhat colored sculptures in the Dashi Hall are even more famous as the "crown of Song sculpture". These colored sculptures are slightly the same size as real people, with plump muscles, strong bones, smooth and smooth clothes, and vivid and natural expressions. In the 1990s, thieves stole some of the heads of the Arhat statues. Although they were later recovered and repaired, three of the Dashi statues were still damaged. The three Dashi statues in the hall are now reshaped according to the data. In addition, the Ten Emperor Hall built from the tenth to the twenty-seventh year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1531-1548) is also quite distinctive. There are statues of the gods of the underworld in the hall and the background hanging sculpture "Yin Cao Difu". At the same time, the only existing and larger Ming Dynasty Heavenly King colored sculpture in Changzhi area is also located here. With the popularity of the game "Black Myth: Wukong", the highly restored Chongqing Temple in the game scene has also attracted a lot of attention and attracted tourists from all over the country to visit. Tourists can enjoy the beauty of ancient architecture at close range and appreciate the exquisite Chinese aesthetics and colored sculpture art. The opening hours of Chongqing Temple are from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm, the ticket is 25 yuan, and the ticket price for the uphill car is 10 yuan (the price information is for reference only). If you are interested in ancient architecture and colored sculpture art, Chongqing Temple is a good place to visit. During the tour, you can not only appreciate the charm of ancient architecture, but also feel the magic and beauty of nature. It should be noted that the cultural relics in the temple have extremely high historical and artistic value.
