Potala Palace Square

Potala Palace Square

4.5/5

Potala Palace Square is a landmark square within the Jiuhuashan Scenic Area in Western Liaoning. It gets its name from the Tibetan-style architectural complex built against the mountain behind it—with red walls, white plaster, and layered golden roofs, the view from the square has a touch of the grandeur of the snowy plateau. Many people simply call this complex the "Little Potala Palace of Western Liaoning." Thanks to this red-and-white architectural group, it frequently goes viral on social media and has become a famous photo spot in Western Liaoning, with tourists often making special trips just to take pictures. The square itself is an ideal location for photography: standing in the center and shooting upwards allows you to capture the entire complex layered against the mountain in your frame, and the area next to the white pagoda and prayer wheels is a popular spot for taking photos of yourself looking back. You can rent Tibetan-style clothing near the square. Once dressed up, with the red-and-white buildings as a backdrop, the photos often make people think you have traveled to the plateau. After nightfall, the lights come on, outlining the contours of the buildings, and the night view offers a different kind of charm, making it worth staying until evening to take another round of photos. If you visit during the day, it is recommended to schedule your photo session for the afternoon, when the light is softer and more photogenic. When it is crowded, there is no need to join the throng; including just a corner of the building or choosing a spot with interesting light and shadow will also yield great photos. In addition, the scenic area is dotted with replicas of landmarks like the Mini Great Wall and the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests at the Temple of Heaven. Taking a stroll through them after visiting the square feels like checking off landmarks from all over the country in one go.Linghai · 2.2km from downtown

Overall, it's alright. If you get up early, you can walk from the scenic area gate to Bijia Mountain at low tide; at high tide, you can take a speedboat. Once you reach Bijia Mountain, you need to hike, and it's not far to Sanqing Pavilion. Climbing Sanqing Pavilion requires walking uphill, passing through Pangu Square.

This is my second visit to Fengguo Temple. The first time was with my child, and this time I'm with my elderly relatives. Although the scenic area isn't large, there are a huge number of staff both inside and outside the area. The traffic police were especially helpful, guiding us to the free parking lot, and there were also kind-hearted drivers from Yixian County who gave us a free ride to the entrance. Thumbs up to Yixian County's cultural and tourism department! Thank you to all the staff for your hard work!

The scenery is beautiful, the ticket price is cheap, and you can drive your own car in, which is great. However, the roads in the scenic area, especially the walking paths, should be improved; some parts are in bad condition and quite dangerous. Also, the attitude of some staff at the cable car station needs improvement.

Who else has been a loyal fan for 17 consecutive years? Me? Haha 😃 A journey of tranquility. Stepping through the mountain gate, I felt inexplicably at peace. The air was fresh, the environment was beautiful, everything was wonderful. Seeing Qingyan Temple getting better and better these past few years makes me so happy 😁 May we all get better and better 👌🏻

I'm so happy to have the opportunity to visit Fengguo Temple again. It's truly beautiful, especially since it just reopened after renovations in October. Overall, it's very nice, and I highly recommend and love it. I'm planning to visit the Ten Thousand Buddha Caves later; I hope it will be a wonderful experience as well. Today has been a wonderful day because of this wonderful trip.

We hiked on October 6th. It wasn't crowded. Children's tickets need to be purchased on-site at the scenic area. There were many performances and interactive programs, which were quite interesting and provided a great experience. There's no cable car, and the mountain isn't high or steep, making it suitable for both the elderly and children. We hiked at a leisurely pace, starting at 9:30 am and ending at 2 pm, including rest and lunch time. The glass walkway costs 30 yuan per person separately, and parking is 20 yuan per vehicle with no time limit. There are also some private parking lots outside the scenic area for 5 or 10 yuan.

The highlight is that it is open to the public free of charge and parking is free. The Tibetan-style buildings with red and white walls and golden roofs are very distinctive from a distance. Combined with the miniature landscapes such as the "Little Great Wall" and "Temple of Heaven" in the scenic area, the photo yield rate is high, and there is a light show to watch at night; but there are problems such as poor maintenance of some buildings and rough details.

It's not as good as when it was first opened. In recent years, some places have been changed and some have been closed. You can just take a look at it when you have time.
