Baojue Temple Introduction
The temple is most famous for its three structures: the Friendship Bell Tower, the Seven Treasures Pagoda, and the Maitreya Buddha statue. The Maitreya Buddha statue, standing seven stories tall, is the most prominent landmark of Baoju Temple and has become a popular spot for visitors to take photos. In front of the Buddha is a garden square, also known as Tongxin Park, which displays many small Happy Buddhas, each with unique postures, some leaning and some seated. The square also features a coal transport steam locomotive that is 80 years old, exuding a sense of antiquity. The top of the Friendship Bell Tower houses a large bell weighing a thousand Taiwanese catties, a gift from the Japanese. In front of the Ksitigarbha Hall, there is a commemorative space that attracts countless Japanese tourists every year.
