What travelers say:

20230420 morning: 1. "Luohan Temple" is an ancient monastery with a history of nearly 1,000 years in Chongqing city. Because of the 500 statues of Luohan Cave in the temple, the temple was built and named. There are many cultural relics from the Northern Song Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. According to legend, the incense is strong. It is also the shooting location of the popular 2006 movie "Crazy Stone". The fare is 20 yuan. ① Address: No. 7 Luohansi Street, Yuzhong District, Chongqing. ② Transportation: direct bus, driving is not very good. ③ peak season: no. ④ Time: 1 hour. 2. Luohan Temple was founded in Song Zhiping four years (1067), after several vicissitudes of prosperity and renaming: the original name "Zhiping Temple", Ming Xuande four years (1429) renamed "Gufoyan", Chongxuan first year (1628) renamed "West Lake Temple", Qing Qianlong 17 years (1752) renamed "Dragon Shenyu", The name of Luohan Temple was restored in the eleventh year of Qing Guangxu (1885). But the fate of the temples did not end. The temples in the 31st year of the Republic of China (1942) were blown up by Japanese aircraft, and they were destroyed in the Wen Revolution. The statue of Luohan was destroyed and remodeled by government funding in 1984. The address of Luohan Temple was not tested at the time of its construction. Only the "West Lake Ancient Monument" inscribed with "West Lake Ancient Monument" is a vaguely discernable word mark, and there are Chinese characters annotated next to it. 3. "Gufo Cliff" is the central axis of the temple. The grottoes on both sides are dedicated to various god stone statues, plus more than 400 stone carvings, all of which are cultural relics of the Northern Song Dynasty. 4. On the east side of the ancient Buddha cliff, there is "Jigong Temple" (the first temple in the East Gate, but the East Gate has been closed) and "Luohan Hall" (the 500 Luohan color shape in the hall is strange and wonderful, and the whole is spectacular. The way of "numbering Luohan" posted at the door is also considered to increase knowledge). 5. On the west side of the ancient Buddha cliff, there are "Vetuo Palace", "Bell Tower", "Drum Tower", "Blue Palace", "Medician Palace", and "Daxiong Palace" in the main hall (the need to line up for worship, you can see the incense. The basement of the lower floor of the main hall is "Guanyin Palace", and the temple can be used to pray for Buddha statues with gold paper. It is the first time I have seen it in my life). "Di Tibetan Palace", "Abbot Building", "Tibetan Jing Pavilion" (locked door, the metal candle tree in front of the door is very characteristic, the line is beautiful and dignified, I have seen it for the first time in my life). 6. The roofs of the temple buildings overlap and overlap, and the photo effect is good. Many small landscapes are also very unique, such as fluorescent fish in Shigang. At the end of the tour, it took1.5 hours, and many disabled people outside the temple were begging. I passed by on the way to the nearby 4A scenic spot "Huguang Assembly Hall" this morning. Since I have a fate, I will go to the temple to worship. After leaving the temple, I will continue to rush to the Huguang Assembly Hall.
