Eaves hanging for thousands of years | Mountain gate facing the sky —— Travel notes of Dule Temple

🎯 The point is here! Among the eight major Liao structures in China, Dule Temple occupies two seats! That's right, it's the mountain gate of Dule Temple and the Guanyin Pavilion of Dule Temple! These two buildings carry a rich history and culture and are definitely worth a visit. 🟢 Route Guide 📍Location: Dule Temple is located in Lizhou, which can be easily reached with direct navigation. There is a paid parking lot by the roadside, which is very convenient. 💰 Ticket information: Ticket price is 33 dollars, although the price has zero or whole, but the value for money is super high. Purchasing a $50 package is not highly recommended, as other places are less visible except for the Dulo Temple itself. 📸 Photography Tips: If you love photography, before entering the scenic spot, you can take some beautiful photos on the street with the help of white walls. The unique background can add a special charm to the photos. 🟣 Mountain Gate Exploration As one of the eight great Liao structures, the mountain gate of Dule Temple is very grand. The three words "Du Lek Temple" were inscribed by Yan Song in the Ming Dynasty. The pen is strong and powerful. Walking into the mountain gate, on the left and right are the clay sculptures of the two generals of the Yuan Dynasty, Heng Ha, which is majestic. There are also the Four Heavenly Kings of the Qing Dynasty murals at the back, but these murals were painted in the Qing Dynasty (also said to be repainted in the Qing Dynasty), and their cultural value is relatively low, so you can take pictures as you like. 🟣Appreciation of Guanyin Pavilion Guanyin Pavilion, also one of the eight great Liao structures, is the essence of Dule Temple. The four characters "Guanyin's Pavilion" are said to have been written by Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty, while the "Fuzu Yuancheng" below was inscribed by Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty. The temple enshrines the eleven-faced Guanyin of the Liao Dynasty, which is 15.4 meters high. It is so majestic that it makes people feel awe. The murals in the temple were drawn in the Yuan Dynasty and repainted in the Ming Dynasty. They are of average exquisiteness. 🔔Other Tips 🌞 When the weather is good, looking at the Guanyin Pavilion at the mountain gate, you will find that the window position under the "Guanyin Pavilion" corresponds to Guanyin's eyes, this wonderful sight should not be missed. However, there was not enough sunlight when I went, and although the scene could be seen, the photo results were not ideal. 📷 If you want to capture double Liao structure chisel, spine beast and frame photos, you can look for the best angle outside and in the east yard. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 In addition, there are more tourists during the holidays. If you are more concerned about avoiding the crowds, remember to adjust your travel time reasonably and choose to come when there are few people to enjoy the tranquility and beauty of Du Lek Temple.
