It is located on a high platform of earth mounds, surrounded by endless crops, as if telling endless stories. 🔥 Must-see Highlights: 1️⃣ Three Drips Water Fajang Pavilion: As soon as you enter, you are greeted by this magnificent building. Built in the Jin Dynasty and renovated in the Yuan Dynasty, it is built against the earth cliff, with three layers of dripping eaves and two stories high. The design of the hanging mountain top makes one marvel at its exquisite structure. 🌧️ On rainy days, every drop of water looks particularly charming. Standing on the second floor, looking out at the countryside, the tranquility and beauty are simply beyond words. Inside the pavilion, there are three clay-colored Buddha statues enshrined, with the Medicine Buddha in the center, the Sunlight Bodhisattva and the Moonlight Bodhisattva on either side. Each statue has plump skin and beautiful shapes, making them excellent works of Yuan Dynasty sculpture. 2️⃣ Shakyamuni Hall: Rebuilt during the Mingchang period of the Jin Dynasty, it has a single eave hip roof and brick carved ridge decorations, simple and solemn. 3️⃣ Amitabha Hall (Rear Main Hall): Rebuilt in the 15th year of Zhizheng in the Yuan Dynasty (1355), it has a single eave hanging mountain roof, simple dougong brackets, and an ancient charm. 🌳 On the large moon platform in front of the main hall, there used to be three octagonal scripture pillars from the Song Dynasty. Now, only the bases of the pillars can be seen. The Tang Dynasty statue relic pagoda has also disappeared, which is regrettable. On both sides of the moon platform, there are two thousand-year-old ancient Tang locust trees. Although they have weathered the storms, they are still lush and full of vitality. ⚠️ Theft History: Baitai Temple was robbed in 1993, 1994, and 2002. The most serious incident was in 2002 when precious cultural relics were plundered and have not been recovered to this day. This is a painful part of its history. 📸 Come and capture this unique historical charm, and let the millennium story of Baitai Temple shine again through your lens!
