Sanxi Temple in Mianzhu

Sanxi Temple in Mianzhu

Sanxi Temple in Mianzhu is a cultural relic protection unit of Sichuan Province.

Sanxi Temple in Mianzhu was first built during the Xiangfu era of the Northern Song Dynasty. Its founding abbot, Elder Yuchuan, had remarkable foresight in selecting this location—nestled among surrounding mountains and facing a lake, with clear streams and emerald foliage. Behind the temple, the Dapeng Mountain range of the Beiguang Mountain system descends abruptly, while the winding Dragon Stream encircles sandy mounds and curls around the eaves like a coiled tiger beside a lute stand. The temple grounds feature eight uniquely stunning sights, including towering nanmu trees and ginkgoes that cast dense shade over the area, enveloping the ancient temple in tranquil greenery. Over the centuries, many literati and scholars have composed poems and expressed their emotions here.

Protected area: 5 meters east of the eastern edge of the guest hall, 5 meters south of the outer edge of the screen wall, 5 meters west of the western edge of the dormitory, and 5 meters north of the northern edge of the Patriarch Hall.

Construction control zone: 30 meters beyond the protected area.
