Introduction

Jixiang Miceng Daelelin Temple is located north of Xilamulun Park, Keerqin District, Tongliao City, built in 1993 and completed in September 1997. Based on the "Moli Temple" blueprint, it covers an area of 13,500 square meters and was named by the chairman of Inner Mongolia Buddhist Association, Living Buddha Ulan. The architectural style combines Han and Tibetan elements, including the mountain gate, heavenly king hall, Dharma wheel pavilion, and the Great Buddha Hall. There are two ancient Buddha statues in front of the hall, each about 2 meters high, and 33 gilded bronze Buddha statues inside, including 3 gifted from Thailand. The main hall has four red lacquered columns that are 16 meters high and lead to the top floor. The doors and windows of the entire hall are carved and painted with colorful patterns, presenting a magnificent and grandiose view. There are 21 vivid Buddhist murals on the outer walls of the main hall. In 1997, it was approved by the Autonomous Region government as a place for Lamaist activities. Activities such as prayers and chanting will be held every year on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the 8th day of the second lunar month, the 8th day of the fourth lunar month, the 15th day of the sixth lunar month, and the 25th day of the tenth lunar month.
