An Underrated Treasure: Ancient Mountain Temple in Mianyang

Don't miss Bao'en Temple when you visit Pingwu! This place is super interesting. Although it's hidden in the mountains, it is an authentic Ming Dynasty ancient temple. The most amazing features inside are the "Three Wonders": First, the entire wooden structure of the temple has not a single nail, showcasing incredible mortise and tenon craftsmanship; second, the Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue, with hundreds of hands each holding different ritual objects, exquisitely detailed; third, the prayer wheel, made entirely of golden Phoebe wood, can still be turned by hand, but to protect the cultural relic, it is now preserved and not in use. Touring around, you can feel the texture of the ancient site and appreciate the craftsmanship of our ancestors—definitely worth it! 🚗 Transportation: Take a 1 yuan bus from Pingwu County to Long'an Town, then a 10-minute walk to the temple. ⏰ Opening Hours: Open year-round from 08:30 to 17:00 🎫 Tickets: 40.0 yuan (half price for students and seniors 65+)
