Храм Баогуо на горе Эмэй - цена билета, часы работы, расположение и советы

Baoguo Temple (报国寺), located at Fenghuangping near the foot of Mount Emei в Sichuan province, is one of the eight major temples on Emei Mountain. It stands as the largest temple in the mountainous region and serves as a primary starting point for most tourists exploring the scenic area. Originally established during the Ming Dynasty in the Wanli era (1573–1619, some sources suggest 1620), it was initially named Huizong Tang, signifying the convergence of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.

Covering an area of 40,000 square meters and oriented from west to east, Baoguo Temple features key structures along its central axis, including the mountain gate, Maitreya Hall, Mahavira Hall, Seven Buddha Hall, and a scripture repository. Surrounding these main halls are various pavilions like Huayin Pavilion and Qixiang Pavilion, as well as buildings like the Ningcui Tower.

Baoguo Temple was relocated during the Qing Dynasty and underwent reconstruction in the ninth year of the Shunzhi era (1652). In 1703, Emperor Kangxi renamed the temple to Baoguo Temple, emphasizing the idea of “repaying the country’s grace,” as expressed in the Buddhist text “Shi Shi Yao Lan” (Essentials of the Buddhist Scriptures). The temple stands as a significant cultural and historical site, attracting visitors with its rich heritage and serene surroundings.
