chendi1973If you are on your way, you can come here. It is a bit tiring to come here specially. The road to the scenic area is under construction. If the car has a low chassis, it is easy to bump into it. You need to drive or charter a car. The bus is not convenient. The ticket price is 30. The scenery of the reservoir is good. The mountains and water meet. There is only one grotto, which is also newly renovated at the back.

M27***75Our family of four arrived at Wushaoling from Chongqing via Longnan and Lanzhou. I was hesitant about the trip after seeing the online reviews. Before arriving, I watched a documentary about the Hexi Corridor and felt it was a historical and cultural destination I should take my children to. Upon arrival, the kids exclaimed, "Glad we came! Zhang Qian is so great!" It was so cold! It was indeed cold—12°C here, the highest temperature of the year. Chongqing has been over 40°C these past two days—but the kids felt it was a truly rewarding experience. The grilled lamb at the foot of the mountain was especially delicious. The meat was incredibly fresh, grilled without any marinating, and it was delicious and affordable. We asked for the owner's WeChat so we could send it to us whenever we wanted some delicious lamb. There are also many, many cattle and sheep grazing at the foot of the mountain—so beautiful! The mountains are beautiful, the grass is beautiful, and the cattle and sheep are beautiful!

Witnessing the spread of Buddhism: The temple was built by Lü Guang of the Later Liang Dynasty to house Kumarajiva. It was the place where Kumarajiva first entered the inland region to preach and teach. It bears witness to the spread of Buddhism from the Western Regions to the Central Plains and is a valuable relic for the study of both Han Buddhism and Western Buddhism.

Its rise and fall are closely linked to the historical changes in the Liangzhou region, making it a valuable resource for studying the political, economic, and cultural development of the ancient region. Cultural Value A fusion of diverse cultures: As the place where Kumarajiva resided and translated Buddhist scriptures, the Luoshi Temple Pagoda, housing his tongue relic, stands majestically within the temple. The temple's architectural style blends characteristics of Han Buddhism and Western Buddhism, embodying the exchange and integration of diverse cultures. Religious Research Value: The temple boasts a meticulously planned architecture, with key buildings including the Main Hall, the Great Sutra Hall, the Guanyin Hall, the Meditation Hall, the Guest Hall, the Buddha Chanting Hall, the Kumarajiva Library, the Prajnaparamita Lecture Hall, and monks' quarters. As the largest Buddhist center in Northwest China, it holds significant value for the study of Buddhist temple architecture and religious practices. In summary, the Kumarajiva Temple is not only a historic Buddhist temple but also a vivid embodiment of the diverse and integrated nature of Chinese culture. Its value transcends time and space, and remains of profound inspiration and educational significance to people today.
