About Dacheng temple

The arrangement of side buildings is as interesting as the individual shrines: roofs, courtyards and repeated hall fronts create a carefully ordered compound. The Heavenly Kings Hall, Mahavira Hall and scripture repository provide the main architectural landmarks, while white-marble Buddha images add a distinctive sculptural element. This remains a place of worship, so appreciate the layout without entering areas reserved for religious activity.

What to look for

  • The octagonal arrangement of the compound and its surrounding halls.
  • The Mahavira Hall and white-marble Buddhist sculpture.

The surrounding area

Western city base for shared barbecue and a separate Zhalong wetland excursion.
