What is the magnificent landscape of Tolin Temple in Jinshan District?

Shanghai is one of the most prosperous cities in China. There are the most prosperous commercial streets and various high-tech products here. Although modern science and technology have been developing, the Buddhist culture here has not declined. Today, Bian Xiao will introduce you to a most domineering temple in Shanghai with three Guinness World Records. Let's take a look with Bian Xiao!

It is located in the east of Lindong Street, Zhujing Town, Jinshan District, Shanghai. I believe many friends in Shanghai must have heard of this temple. It was built in the Yuan Dynasty and has a history of nearly 700 years. Originally called Kannonji, it was later renamed Torin Temple. From a distance, it looks like a palace built on a mountain, which is particularly beautiful. This temple is also the largest building complex in Punan, with the largest indoor Buddha statue in Asia.

Toringi's experience is also very bumpy. It was destroyed by the war as soon as it was built. Basically, it has been under construction. When you enter the temple, the first thing you see is a huge statue, which is the famous auspicious boy. The whole statue is 5.5 meters high, and there are 8 carp around the boy, all made of pure copper. Sometimes you can see it spinning. This is the first world record.

Further on, you can see a golden gate with three golden characters-Guanyin Pavilion, which is the highest Guanyin Pavilion in China at present. There are more than 10000 Guanyin Bodhisattvas enshrined in it, one of which is the famous Guanyin with a thousand hands. The second world record is this gate, all made of brass, with a height of more than 20 meters and a width of 10 meters. It's hard to imagine how spectacular it is if you don't go in person. There is also a huge Guanyin statue here, which is made of nearly 1.8 tons of Hetian jade. The statue is milky white, and it is simply a lifelike real person.

There is a huge mountain peak in the garden. If you look closely, you will find that it is a Buddha's head, with a Guanyin on its nose and two statues of generals on both sides, namely, Wei Tuo Bodhisattva and Guan Yu. All the faces are made up of various statues, and finally a huge bronze Buddha statue is made up. This is the first time to see such a world-famous Bian Xiao statue group here, which really enriches the creativity of builders.

Shanghai is called the magic capital by us, and the temples belonging to it are so bad. It is no exaggeration to say that Tolin Temple is the outstanding Buddhist in China. If you travel to Shanghai, don't miss it, or you will regret it all your life. Let's call it a day. Welcome to comment!
