Baojue Temple Introduction
The temple is most famous for three structures: the Friendship Bell Tower, the Seven Treasures Pagoda, and the Maitreya Buddha statue. The statue of the Maitreya Buddha, which is seven stories high, stands as the most prominent landmark of Baoguang Temple and has become a popular photo spot for visiting tourists. In front of the Great Buddha is a garden square, also known as Tongxin Park, where many small Happy Buddhas are displayed, each with different postures, either leaning or sitting. The square also features a coal train engine from 80 years ago, exuding a sense of antiquity. At the top of the Friendship Bell Tower is a massive bell weighing 1,000 jin, gifted by the Japanese, and in front of the Ksitigarbha Hall, there is a memorial space that attracts countless Japanese tourists every year.
