Little Western Paradise
Check in at the ancient building with Black Goku~Xiaoxitian.
It was built in the 7th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1634) and was presided over by the Dongming Zen master. It covers an area of only more than 1,100 square meters. It is located in the west and faces the east. It is built on the Phoenix Mountain and is surrounded by mountains on three sides. The buildings are scattered on the top of the mountain. Due to the limitation of the terrain and the implication of the Western Paradise, the main buildings are placed on the east-west axis. The temple is naturally divided into three courtyards: upper, lower, and front. There are 20 buildings of different sizes, heights, and symmetries in the limited space, and the cave is used as a door to connect the three building groups. The Ming Dynasty colored hanging sculptures in the temple are famous and are known as the Chinese Hanging Sculpture Art Museum and the "Hanging Sculpture Finale" in the history of Chinese sculpture art.

September travel recommendation: Linfen Xiaoxitian in Shanxi Province | Three Thousand Worlds.
|Three Thousand Worlds. Xiaoxitian in Xi County, Shanxi, also known as Qianfoan, is located on the top of Fenghuang Mountain, 1 km northwest of Xi County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province. It is a Buddhist Zen monastery.
Xiaoxitian was first built in 1629 during the Chongzhen reign of the Ming Dynasty under the auspices of Master Dongming. It was repaired many times during the Qing Dynasty. Most of the existing buildings were built at the end of the Ming Dynasty. It covers an area of only more than 1,100 square meters. The monastery is built on Fenghuang Mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with staggered buildings. Its layout is divided into upper and lower courtyards, with two mountain gates, a cave as a gate, separating and connecting the upper courtyard, lower courtyard, and front courtyard.
The main buildings of the upper courtyard are the Mahavira Hall, with Manjusri and Samantabhadra Halls on the left and right, and the North Pole Hall and Ma Wang Temple on both sides;
The lower courtyard mainly includes the Wuliang Hall, Weituo Hall, Moyun Pavilion, Bagua Pavilion, and the Zhong and Gu Lou on the Weituo Hall. The Wuliang Hall is the main hall of the lower courtyard, with five bays in width and a corridor in front of the eaves. The hall houses the Wuliangshou Buddha. The hall was built in the early Chongzhen reign of the Ming Dynasty. It was named after the "Wuliangshou Buddha", which means "infinite Buddha Dharma". It is also known as the "Wuliang Hall" because it has no beams or pillars. It is the Dharma Hall of Xiaoxitian Temple, and also the Zen Hall where monks chant scriptures, preach Dharma, and take refuge. The Weituo Hall is located opposite the Wuliang Hall. Inside, there is a Weituo Buddha carved from a whole piece of nanmu wood in the fifth year of Shunzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty.
Xiaoxitian is famous for its Ming Dynasty colored hanging sculptures. It is known as the Museum of Chinese Hanging Sculpture Art, and the "Hanging Sculpture Masterpiece" in the history of Chinese sculpture art. The Daxiongbao Hall is full of hanging sculptures, with more than 1,000 clay sculptures of various sizes. These statues are arranged according to the 33 heavens, with clear order and appropriate size. The tallest is more than 3 meters, and the smallest is only the size of a thumb. The shapes are vivid and varied, with many but not chaotic, and complex but not miscellaneous. The five main Buddha statues on the front constitute the main body of the magnificent statue group in the hall, from south to north, they are the Medicine Master Buddha, Amitabha Buddha, Sakyamuni Buddha, Vairocana Buddha, and Maitreya Buddha. Above the ten great disciples are the exquisitely crafted "琉璃 Shengjing" and "Six Desires Heaven" hanging sculpture groups.
Hanging sculptures, also known as wall sculptures, are indoor colored clay sculptures with a frame, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, suspended in a prefabricated wooden frame fixed to the wall. The upper body of the clay sculpture leans slightly outward. When overlapped, the upper body of the lower layer blocks the feet of the upper sculpture. The multiple layers of overlap create a magnificent effect. The paint pigments are hand-processed from natural minerals. Xiaoxitian's craftsmen used the walls, columns, and purlins inside the building as a support to create various figures, scenes, and decorations. They also reflected the connections between them through ingenious transitions, coordinating with each other in various postures, creating a sense of space and reality of being in the air and looking down at the world.
In addition, the half-cloud pavilion in the lower courtyard also houses a complete Chinese Buddhist canon, the Yongle Beizang. The Buddhist canon was originally housed in the Holy Realm Temple, and was stored here after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
On November 20, 1996, Qianfoan was announced by the State Council of the People's Republic of China as the fourth batch of national key cultural relics protection units.

Absolutely!
Black Myth: Wukong became an overnight sensation, and Shanxi's cultural tourism industry is expected to benefit greatly. It is predicted that Xiaoxitian will become a hot spot again!

🙏🏻"The land of Xiaoxitian, welcomes the chosen one"~ After the popularity of "Black Myth: Wukong", every visitor is the chosen one!
🌟In a space of less than 170 square meters, there are more than 1,900 densely packed statues. The most shocking thing about Xiaoxitian is the strong sense of oppression that hits you in the face!
✨Xiaoxitian is actually not very photogenic, with Buddhas everywhere, gold and color everywhere, and a sore neck from looking up, it's hard to grasp where the focus is! The exquisite and delicate gods and Buddhas in Xiaoxitian are suspended above the beams, also known as hanging sculptures. There is almost no second place in the country with such a similar space filled with colorful Buddha statues. It is extremely unique, extremely complicated, and extremely gorgeous!
💫Xiaoxitian is like a colored clay Buddhist version of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", creating a full Buddhist world in a small hall. "Before Xiaoxitian, there were no full hanging sculptures, and after Xiaoxitian, there were no more full hanging sculptures"

Check-in at Xiaoxitian in Xi County
Xiaoxitian in Xi County, located at the top of Phoenix Mountain, one kilometer northwest of Xi County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province, is a Zen Buddhist temple. Originally named Qianfo An, it was founded by Zen Master Dongming in the second year of the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty (1629). It was named after the thousand Buddha statues in the Mahavira Hall. Later, it was renamed 'Xiaoxitian' to distinguish it from another Ming Dynasty temple 'Daxitian' in the south of the city, as the plaque on the main gate reads 'Dao Ru Xitian' (Path to the Western Heaven).
The entire temple of Xiaoxitian covers an area of more than 1,100 square meters, with many halls and buildings such as the Mahavira Hall, Manjusri Hall, Samantabhadra Hall, Amitabha Hall, Heavenly King Hall, Weituo Hall, Ksitigarbha Hall, Bell Tower, and Drum Tower. The temple is divided into upper, middle, and front courtyards by gates. In fact, two-thirds of the temple's halls are double-story structures.
The cultural relic value of Xiaoxitian in Xi County mainly lies in the well-preserved hanging sculptures in the Mahavira Hall. Most of these hanging sculptures were painted and sculpted between the seventeenth year of the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty (1644) and the thirteenth year of the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty (1656), remaining dust-free for over three hundred years. The murals in the Mahavira Hall are even more precious, made with gold leaf and powder, resembling the dragon and phoenix patterns and imperial seals of the palace.

🍜Recommended food street: Old Street Snack Street, the most bustling at night, with so many kinds of food you can't count them all!🍡
😏Personal feelings: Linfen, a city where history and modernity coexist, every visit brings new surprises!😍
💗Other tips: Remember to wear sunscreen, wear comfortable shoes, many of Linfen's attractions require walking!👟
I really like Linfen! It's very livable
The Fen River runs through the city, and its river channel is wider than that of Taiyuan. It also has Binhe West Road, Binhe East Road, Wuyi Road, Jiefang Road... It feels like being in Linfen, but also like still being in Taiyuan.
The urban greening rate in Yaodu District is very high, and the air is humid. Every morning when you wake up, your skin feels hydrated. After two months of business trips to Linfen, my skin has improved. Another proof is that after the rain, if you look closely, you will find that the curbs of the non-motorized lanes are crawling with dense snails. Yes, I used 'dense' without exaggeration. See the picture for details, those with trypophobia beware! You have to walk carefully, and every step is crisp, the sound of life breaking.
The streets in the urban area are very distinctive. Standing on the Drum Tower and looking in all directions, the four streets are planned and constructed in an orderly manner. Taking a walk through the city, you will always encounter many surprises.
One street is full of pomegranate trees that you can reach out and pick. Parents who come to pick up and drop off their children can chat and pick sweet and sour pomegranates when they are ripe. Just imagine that scene, it's simply beautiful!
From the 'East Lin Lei Huo' gate of the Drum Tower, heading east is a bustling pedestrian street. It feels like Liuxiang in Taiyuan, haha.
The roadside is full of persimmon trees, unlike pomegranate trees, these persimmons grow very high, and you can't pick them even if you jump. When they ripen, they won't fall to the ground and smash everywhere.
Both sides of the street are planted with robust plane trees, and the summer is filled with green shade, full of romantic atmosphere, giving a fleeting illusion of being back in Hangzhou.
It is said that there is also a road lined with silk tree flowers, which bloom in August and September. Although I haven't seen it yet, it seems I can already smell that enchanting fragrance. How beautiful that street must be! Do Linfen friends know what this street is called?
As you can see, I am summarizing the distinctive streets of Linfen. So, if there are any other characteristic roads, please tell me quickly, let's go City walk!
Huaguo Street, Huaguo City, Linfen really lives up to its name. The Linfen Municipal Government is really good, thumbs up for the people of Linfen!
The city is well constructed, but unfortunately, after Shanxi Normal University moved away, it took away a large part of the population and economic flow. I can't quite understand what the pillar industry of Yaodu District is now. It feels like tourism, with the Drum Tower, Yaomiao, Huamen, Naota Courtyard? Yaodu Ancient Town, etc., haha. Not sure if this feeling is correct.
By the way, locals recommended some very distinctive snacks. For beef meatball noodles, you should eat at 'Sanmao's'. I've tried both the dry and soup noodles, they are very spicy and salty, not to my taste. Just try it once, I probably won't eat it a second time. I have to say, friends in Linfen have quite a heavy taste.
There is a 'Chenchen Rice Noodles' next to the Drum Tower, which is also said to be very delicious. The method is different from Taiyuan's rice noodles. I'll try it when I have time.
To-Do List:

Guangsheng Temple
Ticket: 55
Transportation: From Linfen to Guangsheng Temple Scenic Area
Method Group: Take the train from Linfen Station to Hongtong Station (less than 20 minutes), after exiting the station, you can take bus 21/22 to Guangsheng Temple Scenic Area. You can also take a shared taxi after arriving at Hongtong Station (there will be many drivers at the bus stop), 5 yuan per person to Guangsheng Temple (Hongtong's taxis are somewhat like buses, the driver will pick up passengers along the way, even if not full, they will still go, so don't worry about wasting time, it takes about 20 minutes to reach Guangsheng Temple).
It is not recommended to take the high-speed rail, as the high-speed rail stations on both sides are a bit far from the city center, and the transfer process is a bit time-consuming.
In Linfen, take bus 301 to Hongtong Station (the journey takes about 40 minutes, bus 301 runs every 15 minutes), after arriving at Hongtong Station, you can take bus 21/22 to Guangsheng Temple Scenic Area or take a shared taxi for 5 yuan to Guangsheng Temple.
Note:
If you take a taxi to Guangsheng Temple, this Guangsheng Temple is the small town where the Guangsheng Temple Scenic Area is located. If you want to get off at the entrance of the scenic area, the driver may ask you to pay extra, don't pay extra, just get off at the Guangsheng Temple Staff Square. There is a road on the right side of the square, walk straight for less than 100 meters, and you will reach an entrance to the scenic area.

Shanxi Tourism | Ming Dynasty Ancient Tower in the Center of a Small County - Xi County Drum Tower
Linfen Xi County Drum Tower
The Drum Tower consists of a platform and a pavilion on top, with a total height of 20.3 meters. According to the 'Xi Zhou Zhi' and the inscription under the ridge purlin, 'In the 45th year of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the official in charge of Xi Zhou affairs, Chu,' the beam structure, plaques, etc., retain original Ming Dynasty items.
The Drum Tower is located at the very center of the county, serving as a four-sided, through-street gate tower. Built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, it is a brick-wood structure with a total height of about 20 meters. Above the gate is the main building with a cross-hipped roof with three eaves, decorated with flying eaves and glazed tiles, elegantly high and charming, with steps facing south that once allowed people to climb up and enjoy distant views.
Surrounding the gate are four stone plaques, showcasing the calligraphy of Song Zaiguang, the prefect of Xi Zhou during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, reading 'East Screen Gu She,' 'West Belt Yellow River,' 'South Facing Ancient Ci,' and 'North Arch Jin Yang.' Each side of the pavilion also hangs large wooden plaques from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, such as Shu Guifang's 'Longquan Ancient County,' Song Zaiguang's 'Longevity Legacy,' Bai Longtai's 'Important Town of Hedong,' and Wang Juzheng's 'Heroic State of Sanjin.' Since ancient times, famous scenic spots have been showcases for literary and artistic talents, and Xi County Drum Tower is no exception.
The sacred land of Buddha, with sculptures hanging all over the hall—Xiaoxitian
Xiaoxitian, also known as Qianfo An (Thousand Buddha Nunnery), is located at the summit of Phoenix Mountain to the west of Xixian County in Linfen City, Shanxi Province. It is a Buddhist Zen monastery founded by the Ming Dynasty monk Dongming in the second year of the Chongzhen era. It was originally named for the thousand Buddha statues in the Mahavira Hall, and later renamed 'Xiaoxitian' (Little Western Heaven) to differentiate it from another Ming Dynasty monastery to the south of the city, 'Daxitian' (Great Western Heaven), due to the inscription 'The Way to Western Heaven' above its heavy gates.
The total building area of Xiaoxitian in Xixian County is over 1100 square meters, with many halls such as the Mahavira Hall, Manjusri Hall, Samantabhadra Hall, Beamless Hall, Heavenly King Hall, Wei Tuo Hall, Ksitigarbha Hall, Bell Tower, Drum Tower, etc. Caves serve as doors, dividing the upper, middle, and front courtyards. In fact, two-thirds of the temple's halls are double-layered structures.
The essence of the temple lies in the Mahavira Hall, where, in addition to the five main Buddhas, the walls, beams, columns, and eaves are also filled with Buddha statues. It is said that there are more than 1900 Buddha statues in the hall.
Each Buddha statue has a different story, surrounded by layers of pavilions, twelve musical courtesans, moon-chasing divine birds, peacocks, parrots, dragons, phoenixes, and auspicious clouds. The sculptures are lifelike and radiantly colorful, more magnificent and spectacular than one can imagine the Buddhist realm to be, resembling a celestial palace.
Ticket price 🎫 25, very affordable
The temple is not very large, but it is filled with numerous Buddha statues, inspiring awe and grandeur.
Before Xiaoxitian, there was no hall filled with hanging sculptures; after Xiaoxitian, there will be no other with such a hall.

Xixian County's Xiaoxitian in Shanxi
Xiaoxitian, also known as Thousand Buddha Nunnery, is located at the peak of Phoenix Mountain west of Xixian County in Linfen City, Shanxi Province. It is a Buddhist Zen monastery founded by the Ming Dynasty monk Dongming in the second year of the Chongzhen era. It was originally named for having a thousand Buddha statues in the Mahavira Hall. Later, due to the inscription 'Path to the Western Paradise' above the main gate and to distinguish it from another Ming Dynasty monastery in the south of the city named 'Daxitian,' it was renamed 'Xiaoxitian.'
📍Detailed address:
At the peak of Phoenix Mountain west of Xixian County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province
👍Most recommended:
The total building area of Xiaoxitian in Xixian County is more than 1,100 square meters, with many halls such as the Mahavira Hall, Manjusri Hall, Samantabhadra Hall, Beamless Hall, Heavenly King Hall, Weituo Hall, Ksitigarbha Hall, Bell Tower, and Drum Tower. The monastery is divided into the upper, middle, and front courtyards by using caves as entrances. Two-thirds of the temple halls are double-layered structures, with layers upon layers and twists and turns, creating a secluded path that not only has the layout of a typical monastery but also the charm of garden architecture.
🌟Highlights:
In the Mahavira Hall's heavenly pavilions, there are many beautifully posed flying Apsaras, divine birds, peacocks, and parrots, standing amidst the misty clouds. On the railings of the platform in front of the hall, there are twelve musical Bodhisattvas. All the statues here, with their well-proportioned human figures, plump and soft skin, lively and natural postures, and smooth lines of clothing, range from over 3 meters tall to small enough to fit in the palm of a hand. Although most of the more than a thousand statues in the temple are preserved here, the vast sculpture group is complex yet not cluttered, naturally orderly, set against the layered heavenly pavilions. The entire hall, with its colorful decorations, not only presents a charming scene of a fairy palace and Buddha land but is also rich in the breath of life.
Mitchell William61William Playing with figurines? The ancients had way more fun than that
Located in Xixian, Xixian County, Shanxi Province, I've seen god-level photos on various platforms. In a small main hall, there are overwhelming clay sculptures, so beautiful that they seem unreal. I thought the photos were deceiving, but when I actually went there, I was still thoroughly shocked.
📍Attraction address:
Phoenix Mountain summit, west of Xixian County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province 😄
🚗Transportation to the attraction:
We went there by renting a car and driving ourselves, which was very easy to find and convenient for parking.
👍️Must-visit spot:
The Upper Court of Xixian County's Little Western Heaven, facing east, is the main hall with a single-eave Xieshan-style roof, five bays wide. The famous 'Internet celebrity figurines' clay sculptures are preserved here, worth taking your time to look and appreciate. Dense and grand.
🎟️Ticket information:
It was 35 yuan per person when we went.
💗Other tips:
I suggest going straight to the main hall to see the clay sculptures first, then visit the rest from top to bottom. This way, climbing the mountain doesn't feel so tiring (personal experience).
Visit during the off-season, as it's not too crowded (still lively compared to other attractions), so definitely avoid the peak season. This also makes it easier to take photos of the clay sculptures.
I made a special trip to Shanxi for this hanging sculpture, and it was truly stunning
"Dust from the east and west does not separate, the world and the heavens are all dignified"

✅Although protected by railings, it is almost face-to-face, and this feeling of viewing historical relics up close is extremely shocking!

Most of the hanging sculptures in the hall were painted between the 17th year of the Ming Chongzhen era (1644) and the 13th year of the Qing Shunzhi era (1656).

The hall is filled with colored sculptures, and in addition to the five main statues above the altar, the walls, beams, and even the rafters are covered with thousands of sculptures. These sculptures, with their varied postures and vivid forms, are set in the halls and pavilions of the Thousand Buddha States. Some are over three meters tall, while others are only the size of a thumb, intricate but not cluttered, orderly expressing the vast world of Buddhism.

On the front side of the hall, from left to right, 'Medicine Buddha', 'Amitabha Buddha', 'Shakyamuni Buddha', 'Vairocana Buddha', and 'Maitreya Buddha' are seated in the center of the niches, with attendant Bodhisattvas on both sides.
The ten great disciples stand on both sides, with graceful figures and subtle expressions, vividly portrayed. On the south wall of the hall, Buddhist figures and stories such as the 'Four Directions and Three Saints' and the 'Four Heavenly Kings' are sculpted, while on the north wall, stories from Mount Sumeru's thirty-three layers of 'Trāyastriṃśa Heaven', the life of Buddha, and the Jataka tales of Shakyamuni are depicted. On the beams, the eight great Vajra are majestic and powerful, and the walls between the beams are adorned with the resplendent 'Pure Land'; numerous human-faced Apsaras, divine birds, peacocks, parrots, and cranes float on the misty clouds, and the twelve musical Bodhisattvas perform 'heavenly' songs and dances with light and graceful figures, gentle and pure, moving freely.

Xiaoxitian | Perhaps the Buddhist world looks something like this~
🌈 Xiaoxitian, also known as Qianfo An, is located on the summit of Phoenix Mountain to the west of Xixian City in Linfen, Shanxi Province. It was founded in the seventh year of the Chongzhen era of the Ming Dynasty (1634) by Zen Master Dongming. It was named for the thousand Buddha statues in the Mahavira Hall, and later renamed Xiaoxitian because the heavy gate was inscribed with 'The Way to Western Heaven', to distinguish it from another Ming Dynasty temple in the south of the city called 'Daxitian'.
🌈 The sculptures inside the hall are the highlight of Qianfo An, with the Medicine Buddha, Amitabha Buddha, Sakyamuni Buddha, Vairocana Buddha, and Maitreya Buddha as the core five main Buddhas. Each main Buddha is flanked by attendant Bodhisattvas, surrounded by sculptures of the ten great disciples, six young novices, the Glazed Pure Land, the heavens of the six desires, the ten great wrathful deities, and the celestial musicians.
🌈 Ticket price 🎫35, explanation service 50, free for children under 1.2m. It's a very worthwhile attraction to visit, with all the hanging sculptures located inside the Mahavira Hall. It tends to be crowded, and parking nearby is not easy.
Xixian Xiaoxitian | The 'Suspended Sculpture Masterpiece' in the history of Chinese sculpture art
Distinct from other grand and towering famous mountains and large temples, Xiaoxitian, founded by the Ming Dynasty Zen master Dongming in the second year of the Chongzhen era, is built against the mountain and surrounded by mountains on three sides, yet it is very delicate as a whole, covering an area of just over 1100 square meters. Initially named 'Qianfo An' (Thousand Buddha Nunnery) due to the presence of a thousand Buddha statues in the Mahavira Hall, it was later renamed 'Xiaoxitian' (Little Western Heaven) to distinguish it from another Ming Dynasty temple in the south of the city called 'Daxitian' (Great Western Heaven).
The temple buildings are scattered and situated on the mountain peak, filling the limited space with the Mahavira Hall, Manjusri Hall, Samantabhadra Hall, Beamless Hall, Heavenly King Hall, Weituo Hall, Ksitigarbha Hall, Bell Tower, Drum Tower, and many other structures. The overall layout is innovative and exquisitely intricate, making full use of the space. The surrounding natural scenery and the temple buildings complement each other, forming an integrated whole, creating a poetic and picturesque magnificent landscape.
Two-thirds of the temple halls are double-layered structures, stacked and winding, with meandering paths leading to secluded spots, resembling the freedom and charm of a garden while maintaining the traditional temple pattern. Inside the halls, the beams and painted rafters are richly decorated and elegant. Coupled with the temple's collection of the rare official edition treasure 'Ming Yongle Northern Canon', it has become a rare treasure for studying Chinese Buddhist history, canon history, ethics, and even folklore.
