Baolai Miao Tong Temple Introduction
Miaotong Temple is one of the three major Buddhist temples in Liugui District, renowned for its thriving incense offerings. It is located close to the Baolai Hot Springs area and can be accessed via Provincial Highway 27 connecting to Provincial Highway 20, after crossing the Laonong River. Surrounded by mountains and with the Laonong River meandering through the valley, the temple's landscape is solemnly designed, featuring lotus ponds, pavilions, and lush greenery that are carefully arranged, resembling a scene from "the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss." The orange rooftops and white temple structure stand out against the backdrop of verdant mountains, making it visible from afar. Due to its elevated position, it also serves as an excellent vantage point for viewing the Laonong River. The temple was founded by Master Guangqin, who led his disciples to establish this once barren area. Today, the temple's exterior is impressive, its halls are majestic, and the well-tended flowers and trees flourish, creating an atmosphere akin to a terrestrial paradise. Every weekend or during the seventh lunar month, countless devotees ascend the mountain to pay their respects.
