Dongyang Baiyun Cultural City

The main attractions of Dongyang Baiyun Cultural City include: the Guanyin Pavilion, Guanyin Pagoda, Guanyin Lake, a massive natural seated Buddha, the Child Pavilion, the Bell and Drum Tower, the Longevity Pavilion, and more.

Among them, the Guanyin Pavilion stands 68 meters tall, supported by towering pillars that give it a majestic presence. The 29.9-meter-high camphorwood statue of the Thousand-Handed and Thousand-Eyed Guanyin housed inside is the largest of its kind in any indoor space in the world, and has been hailed by industry professionals as the “No. 1 Pavilion under Heaven.”

The thirteen-story Guanyin Pagoda, standing 100 meters tall and covering an area of 960 square meters, is the finest ancient-style pagoda in Southeast Asia today and is acclaimed as the “Pearl of the Orient.” Guanyin Lake is shimmering and serene, embodying the charm of West Lake while echoing the tidal sounds of the South China Sea. White geese sing joyfully on the lake, and wild birds spread their wings, creating a vibrant and lively scene.

In addition, the uniquely designed Bell and Drum Tower flanks the Guanyin Pavilion like outstretched wings. The exquisitely crafted archways, gatehouses, and stone steps showcase the artistry of traditional Chinese architectural carving. Other highlights include elaborately inscribed plaques and couplets, as well as relief murals and painted artworks of diverse styles.
