Wanfo Temple, Wanfenglin
万佛寺
A Buddhist temple built among caves and cliffs halfway up the Wanfeng mountains, with numerous Buddha statues inside its caves. It is a cultural highlight on the sightseeing shuttle route.
Wanfo Temple sits halfway up a mountain within the Wanfeng Karst Forest scenic area. It is built into natural caves and cliffs, and many Buddha statues, large and small, are enshrined in the caves and carved into the rock faces, which gives the temple its name. The temple and cave are integrated; the cave is cool and deep, and its stalactites and statues complement one another in a distinctive way. From the platform in front of the temple you can look out over the clusters of Wanfeng peaks and the villages and fields below. It is usually a stop on the Wanfeng Forest shuttle route, but you can also drive yourself there by navigating to the Wanfo Temple parking lot. A visit to the caves and statue groups takes about 1 to 2 hours. Opening hours are roughly 08:30 to 18:00, but check on site. It is typically included in the Wanfeng Forest sightseeing tour, and admission follows the scenic area's official notices. Notes: the cave steps are slippery and the light inside is dim. Keep quiet, do not climb or touch the statues, and burn incense only in designated areas.
