The Yuquan Temple

The Yuquan Temple neighbors the Huixi Park and is a famous Buddhist shrine. It takes an area of 30 mu with the Daxiong Hall, the Yaoshi Hall, the Dizang Hall, the Caishen Hall, the Zushi Hall, and the 500-Arhat Hall. The temple is surrounded by plants and woods and the hall is endowed with grandeur.

The Daxiong Hall is 33.6 meters high. The 28 meters high Sakyamuni, sitting on a lotus inside the hall is the largest indoor wooden Buddha in Asia. It is carved out of sandalwood with gold foil on the whole body, which is precious and rare religious art work. In addition, the 16-ton sleeping Buddha carved out of white marble in the Yaoshi Hall looks serene with merciful love, which represents exquisite carving arts.
