General situation

Guangde nunnery was rebuilt in the 45th year of Qianlong reign of Qing Dynasty (1780). The architecture of the nunnery is of civil structure and glazed tile cover, with two entrances up and down, and Zen houses on both sides. In the nunnery, three Bodhisattvas, Guanyin, Puxian and Manjusri, are worshipped.

"Biedongtian" may have been developed together with temples and nunneries. The newly developed caves and pavilions, dragon spitting water, dripping Guanyin and so on make the scenery more attractive.

Guangde nunnery is a building with plaster and sand walls and tiles. It is divided into two halls, the upper hall and the lower hall, with a patio in the middle. It is used for the Buddha, the four vajras and the eighteen Arhats. There is a clear spring in the nunnery, which is bubbling. The faithful men and women have to wash their hands and face before they go to the temple to pray to show their sincerity. It can also be used to quench the thirst of the residents and tourists in the nunnery.

There is a small palace on the big rock on the right side of the nunnery, where Guanyin Bodhisattva is worshipped, which is called "Zhusheng Niang" locally. A huge stone stretches out a hundred meters away from the left side of the nunnery to form a hole, which can accommodate dozens of people. It is called "old nunnery", which is the former site of Guangde nunnery. Around the old and new nunnery, there are many strange stones, with many shapes. The caves under the stones are crisscrossed, tortuous and unfathomable. In addition, there are springs, stone crevices, trees, insects and birds, which are better than the peach garden.

The gate of guangde'an mountain is tall and magnificent. It is inscribed with "TONGCHAN gate". The couplet on both sides is written by the calligrapher Dong Baizhen: "Tongyou steps on the winding path to climb here, which is called Dharma land. Zen wisdom refers to the maze and purgation of daoyunsheng on the other side." There is also a "Cuijing Pavilion" on the top. When you climb on the pavilion, you can see the beautiful scenery of the mountain city from the West. The buildings in the mountain city are lined with green and overcast patches. The smoke waves are curling up, the river is like training, and the atmosphere is myriad. When you climb on the pavilion, you can feel cordial, which is really worthy of the name. "Cui" is the essence, essence, and beauty of beauty.

As soon as I stepped into the mountain gate, there was such a beautiful scenery that people would forget to return and stop to make progress.

The antithetical couplet at the main gate of Guangde nunnery is "Guangji all living beings rely on the treasure raft, Dexin this temple Wuchan pass", which was written by Cai Xianting and even published.

The four wonders of Guangde cave are mountain, stone, water and cave.

It's a wonderful spectacle, a natural scenery.

Tiger peak, on the other side of the town, looks like a fierce tiger. The hillside here is green, with dense forests and high trees. The sun is covered with thick shade, and the summer heat is completely gone. The sound of birds, the fragrance of flowers, the quiet environment

Chilingpu, the southern foot of the peak, is the gathering place of Qin warrior tombs. A number of copper axes and spears have been unearthed in recent years.

At the West foot of the peak, a batch of Neolithic geometric pottery pieces were unearthed in Baiyishan, which attracted people's attention.

Laohufeng mountain has left a lot of historical traces. The stone inscriptions on the huge stone, which are written with "extraordinary person saint" and "all things come to the instrument", show that this mountain is indeed a good mountain, with elegant and wonderful Zhong Ling and extraordinary.

Shiqi

Guangde nunnery is surrounded by huge rocks, which are rugged, strange and changeable. There is a stone struck by thunder at the entrance. The huge stone was struck by lightning and split into two pieces. It is very strange, also known as immortal stone. Guangde nunnery is built on the cliff with its back against the stone wall. At the back of the temple, there is an immortal stone, on which the big stone is abrupt, about four or five meters wide and five meters long respectively. Inside, the stone slab is flat, about 20 square meters. There are stone beds, stone chairs and stone benches for visitors to rest. It is a huge stone welcome room and a summer resort. On the south side of the nunnery, there is a huge stone, which is as high as the house, small in the top and big in the bottom. It is like a rice urn, which is called rice urn stone. Under the millstone, there are several pieces of Steles, which stand in succession. Not far from the back of the temple, there is also a "Liquan rock", with huge stones hanging high and flying in the air, and water coming out of the rock. The spring is clear and sweet.

Around the stone road layer upon layer, Taiwan class, stone ladder up, straight into the sky. In a place where there is no shade, calligrapher and painter Yang Zhiguang wrote the word "Haoyue" on the boulder. Only here can we see Haojie's moon.

In this case, the scene is lifelike. On the northeast side of the temple, Yang Zhiguang wrote the word "Guanshan" on a huge stone. Here, you can enjoy the scenery of the mountain.

Shuiqi

Water is the most characteristic product of Guangde nunnery.

After Guangde nunnery, there is a "eternal spring". The water quality is excellent, pure and refreshing. It is known as Li spring water and flows out of Li Quan rock. Before liberation, pastor Yao Xuande, an American missionary, lived in hEPO for a long time. He used to hire special people to go up the mountain every day to get water.

Taking water and drinking tea in the nunnery is delicious. The water quality is pure and sweet, better than mineral water. The Ministry of health of the people's Republic of China has decided that the water exceeds the requirements of the Ministry, and many people are willing to go several miles to get water here.

It is said that drinking this water can prolong life, keep healthy and reduce diseases.

Dongqi

The stone cave is another wonder here. Under the cliff in front of the temple, there is a stone cave named "don't go to the cave", which is vertical and more than 10 meters deep.

It was originally made up of several huge stones. The entrance is very small, and the cave is dark. The tourists have to take a flashlight to guide the way. They walk down the stone steps sideways. It's like entering a fairy cave or a maze. The grotesque stones on the cave wall stand out and change endlessly. It's a shocking dream. The lower you go, the wider the cave is. As for the bottom of the cave, it is very spacious. It can accommodate dozens of people. Surrounded by stone walls, it is full of danger.

Suddenly, there was light penetrating into the cave, looking for the light, and there was a cave door with the words "don't go to the cave". This is the famous "Guangde cave". It is said that the cave is very deep and can lead to the village of luosijiao at the back of the mountain. Later, it was blocked. There are still remains of the cave at the back of the mountain.
