Xiaoxitian

[Secret Land of Hanging Sculptures - Xiaoxitian] On the top of Fenghuang Mountain in Xi County, Shanxi Province, there is a wonder of the Buddhist kingdom in the Ming Dynasty - Qianfo Temple. The moment you step into the main hall, you will see a golden and beautiful scene! Three thousand hanging sculptures bloom in the sky, pearls and necklaces brush against the sleeves of flying fairies, and glass swans stretch their necks to sing. The folds of the Buddhas' clothes flow like water, and the ten directions of the world stretch out layer by layer between the beams and pillars. The gold paint of the colored sculptures has not faded for 900 years, and every inch of it is solidified with the warmth of craftsmanship. This is not a cold ancient monument, but a never-ending visual chanting, which is worth your trip across the mountains to this thrilling aesthetic pilgrimage.
