Chengdu Zhaojue Temple, there is a big figure in the Republic of China period, somehow fell here?

Above this boundary of Chengdu, there are many temples, and the famous temples are Wenshu Monastery, Daci Temple, Shijing Temple, Baoguang Temple, and Zhaojue Temple. I've been to almost every temple to take a picture, and of the many temples, Zhaojue-ji temple impressed me the most.

Zhaojue Temple illuminated the wall

I chose to go to Zhaojue Temple on the weekend, when the bus was about to arrive, passing by the gate of Chengdu Zoo, crowded with people, traffic was busy, when I stepped into the zhaojue Temple gate across the wall from it, here I did not feel how lively, but an unusual calm, do not know what the reason is?

Gate

Zhaojue Temple covers a wide area, was founded in the Tang Dynasty, has a history of more than a thousand years, and is known as the "first Zen forest" in western Sichuan. According to the old man, the current zoo was also part of The Zhaojue Temple, which shows the grandeur of the former temple. Unfortunately, due to historical reasons, all this was destroyed, the temple was razed to the ground, and the current Zhaojue Temple building was built last. Whether you have experienced that period of history or not, it is also sad to think about it now.

Illuminate the wall

When I walked to the back of Tallinn in the northeast corner of Zhaojue Temple, I saw the cemetery of Dai Jitao, who many people know is very famous and was a political celebrity during the Republic of China. Such a celebrity, why does his tomb appear here? It is very surprising, it is estimated that many people, including myself, did not think that Dai Jitao's tomb would be in Zhaojue Temple, if you are interested, you can find a story about him.

Spend a morning visiting the temple, tired of visiting, at noon to eat iftar, after eating, ask for a cup of 10 yuan tea, a pot of water, you can spend an afternoon comfortably. Such a weekend is also very fulfilling, right?
