 Located
on Shibi Mountain in
Jiaocheng County
southwest of Taiyuan,
this monastery, also
known as Wanbi
Monastery, has an area
of six thousand squares
meters. It is surrounded
with steep mud brick
walls and stately
cypress trees. The
monastery was first
built in 472 during the
Northern Wei Dynasty.
The beautiful area is
sacred to Buddhist. In
fact, Japanese Buddhists
regard it as the
“ancestral” monastery,
and visit it as
pilgrims. |
