The aroma of Buddhism makes people calm.

These 500 Luohans in the Bamboo Temple, which are not ornately decorated, depict seemingly common people in the midst of ordinary lives and feelings. Each Luohan is unique and expresses its own singular inner character. It is said that if you pick a Louhan and count them to the right when you reach your age, you will find the Louhan that depicts your inner character.

Dali Chongsheng Temple is known as the Miaoxiang Kingdom. It is the royal temple during the period of Nanzhao and Dali Kingdom. The Buddhism belief in Dali has a long story. Almost everyone worships Buddhism.

Jizu Mountain (Jizu Shan) is one of the four sacred Buddhist Mountains of Chinese Buddhism. During its heyday, it holds 36 temples, 72 nunneries and thousands of monks.
