Changsha & Zhuzhou & Xiangtan 2012/04/24 View：2762

Hunan Ningxiang Weishan Miyin Temple, one of the biggest temples in south of the Yangtze River, locates in the western mountainous area of Ningxiang county where Liu Shaoqi’s hometown is situated and is 110 km away from the downtown of Changsha city. It was built in 708 in Tang Dynasty and covers an area of 38.9 mu (about 26000 square meters).

MiyinTempleis famous for its heavy sense of history. Not only the spectacularProgenitorTower, where the remains of the founders of the temple preserve, but also the presentation of bronze culture like Four Sheep Statue and Quadripod with Face Grain make this temple mysterious and attracting. Building here is divided into 8 parts: Monastery Gate, Square, Main Hall, Meditation Room, Progenitor Hall, Sided Hall, Auxiliary Hall and Bounding Wall, which is another eye-catching point.

What’s more,MiyinTempleis adjacent to Weishan andQingyangLakewhich both are excellent natural scenery. It will be a great chance to have a good experience of both Buddhism culture and natural scenery to visit here.
