Bao Lai Miao Tong Temple Introduction
Miaotong Temple is one of the three major Buddhist temples in Liugui District, known for its thriving incense offerings. It is 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, visitors can reach the temple. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, the Laonong River winds through the valley; the temple's landscape is solemnly planned with lotus ponds, pavilions, and well-tended flowers and trees, creating a scene reminiscent of "Pure Land." The orange roofs and white temple body stand out against the lush green mountains, making them visible from a distance. Due to its elevated location, it offers the best view of the Laonong River. The temple's founder is Master Guangqin, who, along with disciples from the mountain, developed this originally barren land. Today, the temple has an imposing exterior, with solemn halls, and the well-cared-for vegetation flourishes, making the entire temple resemble a paradise on earth, attracting countless worshippers on holidays and during the seventh month of the lunar calendar.
