Sacred Land of Arhats

Sacred Land of Arhats

Situated by the lake in Anshan's "Er-Yi-Jiu" Park, within the Dongshan Scenic Area. Together with the renowned Jade Buddha Temple, it forms a complete Buddhist cultural venue and functions as a comprehensive tourist site. The surrounding environment primarily features ancient architecture and classical gardens, presenting a majestic and imposing overall layout. Pavilions, terraces, towers, halls, and chambers are arranged in a well-balanced and splendid fashion, shining with golden brilliance. The garden showcases the changing beauty of spring orchids, summer cicadas, autumn chrysanthemums, and winter snow, blending harmoniously with Buddhist culture and art. On the worship platform stands a 6.19-meter-tall open-air Water-Dripping Guanyin statue, the tallest in Northeast China. The daily wafting incense creates an enchanting atmosphere, making visitors feel reluctant to leave, as if they were in a pure land. Inside the nearly kilometer-long Arhat Cave, five hundred lifelike and uniquely expressive arhats fill the space, filling a void in Buddhist culture in the Northeast. The 873-meter-long *Painting of Five Hundred Arhats* sets a world record. The Jigong Vegetarian Cuisine Building carefully prepares premium traditional vegetarian dishes from imperial, folk, and monastic traditions, offering a unique culinary experience in the Northeast region.
