Dule Temple
China, an East Asian country is one of the world’s oldest civilizations. It has a vast cultural history of more than five thousand years and an outstanding natural beauty. On the other hand, this country has remained a comparatively isolated and secluded one, and being a land of mystery, this country is not known to the western half of the world. However, China is rapidly developing and has grown in the phase of modernization, with an immense speed and is also welcoming the outer world to interact and do business with them.
Dule Temple is located 113 kilometers from Tianjin City. The temple was built over 1,000 years ago and has a central pavilion dedicated to Guanyin, Goddess of Mercy. The pavilion's 16 meter high clay statue of Guanyin dates back to the Liao dynasty. The structure of the pavilion is noted for the twenty four different systems of brackets inserted between the top of its columns and crossbeams. The temple is one of the oldest wooden buildings in China and has withstood twenty eight major earthquakes.
Dule Temple justifiably so, enjoys a very positive reputation with worldwide travelers, and is one of the most visited place.
