The ancient temple is covered by clouds, and golden lamps are covered with fog and dew.

The Golden Lantern Temple is the last chapter in the history of Chinese grotto sculptures, hidden deep on the top of the Taihang Mountains. The Golden Lantern Temple was built in the Northern Qi Dynasty and has a history of 1,400 years. It was originally named Baoyan Temple. According to legend, Master Taro found that two golden lanterns floated into the temple from east to west every night. The temple was suddenly filled with golden light, so he renamed Baoyan Temple Golden Lantern. A hilltop to the east of the temple is called "Qideng Mountain", a hilltop not far to the west of the temple is called "Luo Deng Mountain". The temple is surrounded by steep cliffs in the north and deep valleys in the south. Hundred and integrated, it naturally forms a temple where the seven entrances are the first Tao and then the Buddha. Especially the Water and Land Palace, with a pond below and a stone bridge above, has its own unique style even compared to the four major grottoes. The water and land hall of the grotto is the most prominent, with relief paintings of water and land on the four walls, and statues of Buddha, Bodhisattva and Rohan around the upper part. The cave includes Buddha, Bodhisattva, King Kong, King of Heaven, Arhat and characters from Buddhist stories. 📍Attraction Address: Jindeng Temple Grottoes are located at the top of Linlu Mountain, 65 kilometers northeast of Pingshun County, Shanxi and Lin County, Henan 🚗 Attraction Transportation: Drive or charter 👍 Must-see attractions: Nantianmen, Huaguoshan, Honggu Mountain, Jinlan Temple Grottoes Complex.
