Mount Emei Prayer Temple, the first stop into the mountain is undoubtedly the "starting point of the famous mountain" Baoguo Temple. But in the vicinity of Baoguo Temple, there is actually a treasure temple that is easy to be overlooked - Fuhu Temple, this temple is only about 1 km away from Baoguo Temple, and you can go on foot, and the scenery along the road is very beautiful.
Fuhu Temple is a women's temple, elegant and quiet, surrounded by ancient trees towering to the sky, green trees and red walls, quite the wonderful meaning of the ancient temple in the deep mountains. As for the origin of the name of the temple, it is said that in the old days, there were often tigers in this area, and the monks of the temple built the Buddha to suppress it, so it was named.
Fuhu Temple is small and beautiful, and although the scale is not grand, it is unique. There are many trees near the Dirt Garden, and it is a wonder that leaves fall on the roof all year round, but they never pile up on the roof. There is a tall crape myrtle in the temple, in summer and autumn, the tree is full of flowers, and the temple is in contrast to each other, quiet and solemn and makes people happy.
The bronze tower of Shengji Temple in the temple was cast in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also known as the Huayan Pagoda because the tower is cast inside and outside the "Huayan Sutra".
After the main hall, go up the stone steps and come to the unique 500 Arhat Hall in the whole mountain. Legend has it that the number of arhats here can bring special inspiration for the coming year. So, do you know how many Arhats there are in the Hall of the Five Hundred Arhats? Find out and the special story behind it!
I pray for a safe, joyful and prosperous New Year.
Celebrate the New Year in peace and auspiciousness
