Aerial photography of Wutai Mountain, unexpectedly found a Buddha Gaya Pagoda hidden in the valley?
While taking aerial photography of Mount Wutai, I unexpectedly found a Buddha Gaya Pagoda hidden in the valley. This hidden Buddha Gaya Pagoda is located at the entrance of Wutai Mountain Scenic Area. From the southwest direction of the scenic area gate, follow the ditch into the valley bottom, and you can see the magnificent temples and this mysterious pagoda in the valley.
This temple is located in a place called "Qianyaozhuang", and a few hundred meters east of this place is the location of the original Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei headquarters. When you come here, you can not only admire the temples and refill the incense. You can also feel the hard work of the older generation of revolutionaries! However, the Buddha Gaya Pagoda is still under construction and has not been completed. The aerial photography looks very good and the temple covers a wide area. Moreover, looking at its appearance and production, it is very similar to the "Bodh Gaya Vajra Seat Enlightenment Pagoda" built by King Asoka of India and the place where Sakyamuni attained enlightenment. The Buddha Gaya Pagoda built here is the same as the ancient Vajra Throne-style Pagoda. The main tower in the middle is a small tower guarding the four sides.
Although it has not yet been built, the aerial photography shows that it is very majestic and solemn, and it is also obvious that this majestic golden pagoda is shocking. And the ravine was full of green peaks both times. I think this will not only be a sacred place for incense in the future, but also a good place to escape the summer heat. It will also become another popular pilgrimage site in Mount Wutai. However, as a Buddhist mountain, Mount Wutai has become increasingly commercial. Not only does a ticket cost more than 100 yuan, but all visits inside require payment. The monks inside are not like the monks who spit everywhere, and looking at the pilgrims is like looking at monkeys. These monks stare directly at the beautiful women who come to worship Buddha, and they have no sense of security at all.
However, the scenery of Wutai Mountain is still very beautiful. Except for its bad reputation in recent years, the rest of the places are still worthy of their reputation.
