Hohhot Travel - Dazhao Wuliang Temple Cleansing the Soul

📍Dazhao Temple is a large Tibetan Buddhist temple located in the southern part of Yuquan District, Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, China. It belongs to the Gelug sect (Yellow Sect). The term 'Zhao' in Dazhao Temple means 'temple' in Tibetan. Its original Chinese name was 'Hongci Temple,' later changed to 'Wuliang Temple.' Because it houses a silver Buddha, it is also known as the 'Silver Buddha Temple.' 📌Three Highlights 1️⃣Silver Buddha: The Shakyamuni statue enshrined in the Buddha Hall was made by Nepalese craftsmen and is cast from 30,000 taels of pure silver. It has a history of over 400 years and is one of the largest existing silver Buddhas in China. 2️⃣Dragon Carvings: Refers to the two vividly shaped golden dragons in front of the Silver Buddha, each about 10 meters high, carved on two sky-reaching pillars. Looking up from below, the twin dragons soar, with claws outstretched, spiraling upwards. 3️⃣Murals: The content mainly features Buddhist figures and stories, depicting various scenes of heaven, earth, and hell. Among them, the depiction of the Buddha debating and contending with the six heretical teachers is the most exquisite and captivating. 📌Ticket Prices (Offline manual/self-service machine ticketing, online) 🔸Adult Ticket 35 RMB Photography is prohibited inside the temple, but allowed in the courtyard and outdoors.
