Zhengjue Temple & Golden Buddha
正觉寺
The largest nunnery in Northeast China, with the Golden Buddha on the hill behind the temple, one of the tallest bronze seated Buddhas in the world.
Zhengjue Temple is built against Liuding Mountain, its halls rising in tiers with red walls and golden roofs; it is the largest nunnery in Northeast China. Climbing the steps behind the temple leads to the Golden Buddha, a bronze seated Shakyamuni statue about 48 meters tall, which faces south and overlooks the Dunhua Basin. A Buddhist cultural exhibition is housed in the pedestal. The temple and the Buddha are both within the Liuding Mountain scenic area, so one ticket covers both. It is recommended to pray at the temple first and then climb to the Buddha platform. The climb involves many steps. Keep voices down inside the temple, and photography is prohibited in the halls.
