The Reclining Buddha Temple In Baoshan
This temple is located on Yunya Mountain,
15 kilometers north from
Baoshan Town. Built along a cave of Yunya
Mountain, it is also named
Yunya Reclining Buddha Temple and is one of
Baoshan’s eight famous
scenic spots as well as one of the oldest temples
in Western Yunnan.
The hall of the temple is a natural stone cave. A
9-meter-long reclining
Buddha is chiseled out of a giant natural rock on
1.3-meter-height
stone platform. In 1988, Myanmar-Chinese Buddhists
presented a white
marble statue of the reclining Buddha, which is 6
meters long and 9
tons in weight and becomes the biggest of its kind all
over China.
