Guanyin Pavilion (Lingyuanqing)
灵源箐观音阁
A quiet mountain ravine at the foot of Hu Mountain on the eastern outskirts of Yongsheng County town. Guanyin Pavilion houses a Song-dynasty cliff-carved Guanyin statue, making it a famous historic site in northwest Yunnan.
Lingyuanqing, also called Guanyin Qing, lies on the west foothills of Hu Mountain on the eastern outskirts of Yongsheng County town. It has dense woodland and a flowing spring. Guanyin Pavilion is built against the mountain, and inside it, on the cliff face, is a Guanyin statue carved into the rock during the Song dynasty (the Dali Kingdom period). The figure is dignified in form, and the site is protected as a Yunnan Provincial-level Cultural Relic. It is about a 10-minute drive from the county town, and a visit takes about an hour, so it can be combined with the old town of Yongsheng on the same day. Ticket prices and opening hours are subject to confirmation on site.
