Introduction

Nansi Temple is a large-scale and well-preserved group of temples. Its main buildings are situated along the central axis facing south, gradually unfolding, with the tall south-facing Shanmen, the central Three Saints Hall, and the north-facing Great Buddha Hall, which are layered and high. Nansi Temple was built in the Liao and Jin Dynasties and has a history of nearly a thousand years. Inside the temple, we can see relics from the Liao Dynasty, such as the Four Great Heavenly Kings and the Eighteen Arhats, as well as the exquisite Five-Dragon Wall. In addition, Nansi Temple also has buildings such as the PuXian Ge, WenShu Ge, and the corridor, all of which are delicate and beautiful, worth a visit.
