Скачать или смотреть Hidden in Chengdu: The Mummified Buddha and 500 Arhats of Baoguang Temple

Think Chengdu is all about hot pot and pandas?
Hidden in Xindu lies Baoguang Temple, a true treasure secret realm waiting to be discovered.

Stepping inside feels like traveling through a thousand years of history. As one of the “Four Great Buddhist Temples in Southern China,” Baoguang hides jaw-dropping wonders — including a real mummified Buddha, perfectly preserved for centuries with visible skin texture and serene expression. What kind of faith and craftsmanship could keep it so lifelike for hundreds of years?

Beyond the mummified Buddha and the ancient 1,000-year-old ginkgo tree, there’s something truly spectacular — the Hall of 500 Arhats, known as “the crown of China’s Arhat Halls.”
Inside stand 500 vivid statues, each with a unique facial expression and personality — smiling, meditating, or glaring with divine energy.
There’s even a fun local ritual: start counting from any Arhat, stop at your age — the one you land on is said to represent your destiny and protection.

Here, you can step away from the city noise, listen to temple bells, sip Zen tea, and feel time slow down beneath golden ginkgo leaves.
Baoguang Temple isn’t just a temple — it’s a living museum of faith, mystery, and peace.
