Hongshiya Temple Tourist Area

Hongshiya Ecological Tourism Scenic Area is located in Daqing Mountain, 58 kilometers away from Hohhot City. It is an ancient temple with hundreds of years of history. In 2001 (2545 in the Buddhist calendar), young entrepreneur Wang Xiancheng initiated and presided over the restoration of this temple. After seven years of wind and rain, the reconstruction was completed in 2008 (2553 in the Buddhist calendar). There is a natural stone cliff about 30 meters high and 20 meters wide in the Attraction. This stone cliff is reddish brown from a distance, hence the name Hongshiya. The Hongshiya Temple in the Attraction is a temple in the autonomous region that integrates Buddhism, Taoism, and Tibetan Buddhism. It has 100,000 mu of Hongshiya alpine pastures and 600 mu of natural reservoirs. The Daqingshan Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall and the Daqingshan Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery have been rated as "National Defense Red Education Bases." Hongshiya Temple covers an area of ​​more than 70,000 mu, with a three-story Mahavira Hall, Heavenly King Hall, 8 dining halls, 6 dormitories, more than 10 monk rooms, and a temple of the God of Wealth, a temple of the Land God, a temple of Guanyin, a temple of the Great Immortal, a temple of the Dragon King, a bell and drum tower, and a memorial archway. At the same time, pavilions, bluestone roads, iron chain bridges and other landscapes were built, which echoed the green mountains and waters of Hongshiya Mountain. Coupled with the distinct four seasons in Inner Mongolia, the blue sky and white clouds and fresh air make the current Hongshiya Temple a paradise on earth, an ideal place for people who practice Buddhism and Taoism. Hongshiya Scenic Attraction has a good natural ecology, pleasant scenery, strong religious characteristics, and rich cultural and geographical resources. The temples and pagodas complement the natural landscape and integrate the elements of modern leisure and vacation and sightseeing tourism. At the same time, combined with the development of Souvenir tourist Attraction, a composite scenic Attraction of religious and cultural tours, green ecological tours, rural scenery tours, and red education tours close to the capital Hohhot will be gradually created.
