Baoguo Temple Introduction
The temple is renowned for three main structures: the Friendship Bell Tower, the Seven Treasures Pagoda, and the Maitreya Buddha statue. The fully bodied Maitreya Buddha statue stands seven stories tall, making it the most prominent landmark of Baojue Temple and a popular spot for visiting tourists to take photos. In front of the Buddha, there is a garden square known as Tongxin Park, which features numerous small Happy Buddhas in various postures, some leaning and some sitting. The square also displays a coal train locomotive from 80 years ago, adding to its historical charm. The top of the Friendship Bell Tower is adorned with a large bell weighing one thousand Taiwanese catties, donated by the Japanese, while a memorial space is located in front of the Ksitigarbha Hall, attracting countless Japanese tourists every year.
