Enjoy the Rain of Plum Blossoms at Giant Buddha Temple
The Giant Buddha Temple in Xinchang is becoming more and more beautiful as the winter temperature goes down. In the solemn atmosphere, the sunlight casts through the thousand-year-old trees, as if it is a beautiful sight that only exists in mythology.
It is a wonderful thing to visit the temple in winter. There are two plum trees, which have been guarding the Buddha silently for six hundred years, in front of the main hall. After waiting for three seasons, namely spring, summer and autumn, the two bright yellow trees finally bloom in the cold wind and are envied by the other flowers.
