How many steps of the Maitreya Buddha have, there is still a distance from the foot of the mountain to the Maitreya Temple ladder, and the people who worship worship will go up the road, go to the entrance of the scenic spot, and step on the 1999 ladder to reach the Maitreya Buddha.
Located in the Maitreya Temple in Jinping Mountain Scenic Area, 10 kilometers north of Maitreya County, the surrounding environment of the temple is beautiful. This is a good place to escape the heat. The temple has the "Maitreya Temple" written by Zhao Puchu, president of the Chinese Buddhist Association. This is one of the Buddhist resorts in southeast of the province. The temple fairs are constantly going on all year round. Especially on the 9th of the first month of the month. On the Maitreya Temple cloister, you can see the whole Maitreya Dam.
The scenic spot has changed very much, there are already sightseeing cars, and the overall feeling is very good. The Big Buddha is still the same, and the temple is still the same. The ticket only costs 15 yuan, which is really cheap. I think friends who come to Maitreya can come and play.
Walk down the mountain from the Maitreya Buddha statue to the Maitreya Temple, you can visit.
