I absolutely love this feeling, I'm truly amazed by Shanxi! The ultimate beauty of the hanging sculptures in the holy place Outside the hall, snow flutters and wraps everything in white, while inside, the brilliance is overwhelming Xixian County's Xiaoxitian is also one of the filming locations for the game Black Myth: Wukong. Compared to the game graphics, walking into the great hall in reality gives a greater sense of oppression, making one look up in awe at the layers upon layers of hanging sculptures, with endless details to see. The trip to Xiaoxitian in Linfen Xiaoxitian, also known as 'Thousand Buddha Hermitage', was founded by the Zen master Dongming in 1629. The temple is built on the summit of Phoenix Mountain in Xixian County, Linfen, known for its exquisite and unique charm. Like a flat boat cutting through the white waves, it comes gently, and inadvertently embodies the Buddhist sentiment of 'Mercy Ferrying All'. The hanging sculptures in the Mahavira Hall are hailed as the 'ultimate chant of hanging sculptures' in the history of Chinese sculpture art. Entering the hall is like seeing: The Western Paradise descending to the earthly realm The hall is full of clay sculptures of pavilions, divine towers, and Buddha niches, Rare birds and beasts, bodhisattvas and deities, flying apsaras and musicians, etc. Gilded and colorful, resplendent with gold and jade, Presenting a captivating scene of a fairy palace and Buddha land 🚗Transportation: 1️⃣A common problem with tourist spots in Shanxi: they are scattered and far. Xixian County's Xiaoxitian is a 2.5-3 hour drive from Linfen city center one way. Public transportation can be booked in advance with 'Little Yellow Car' for a round trip, with a one-way fare of 35 yuan. The earliest departure time is usually at 6:30 am, and they pick up from hotels, so the timing is not fixed. Book the return trip one hour in advance. I originally wanted to take a special Qiu public bus for a one-day trip to Xiaoxitian + Guangsheng Temple, but I was told that due to snow in the previous days, the earliest departure time was adjusted to 8:30. To save time, I had to hire a private car. 2️⃣Xiaoxitian faces west and east, so the morning sunlight shines into the Mahavira Hall, providing better lighting. 3️⃣The ticket price is 35 yuan, but if booked a day in advance on the platform, it's 28 yuan. 4️⃣Xiaoxitian is in the mountains, with a temperature difference of 8-10 degrees from Linfen city center. Dress for around 0 degrees based on Linfen city center before departure. When I got to the foot of the mountain, the driver told me it was minus ten degrees outside, and I was so cold that I jumped around and only stayed for 1 hour (I had enough time, and I watched alone in the Mahavira Hall for almost 30 minutes). 5️⃣The staircase from the foot of the mountain to the top is not long, and it only takes a few minutes to climb up.
