Why
Jade Buddha Temple
is special
The Jade Buddha Temple houses two exceptional Buddha statues, each exquisitely carved from a single piece of white jade. The temple's architectural design is also very impressive.
Jade Buddha Temple
tips & insights
Two
famous jade statues
The temple was named for these two sculpture masterpieces. They have different postures:
Reclining
One of the two is of Buddha in a reclining posture (see photo). It depicts the moment when he was
leaving earth to enter
Nirvana. His skin appears to emit an inner glow. The statue is approximately one meter (3 feet) long.
Seated
The other famous statue is of
Buddha in a seated position, the point of his
enlightenment. The statue is bejeweled and is about two meters (6
feet) in height.
The temple also has a reclining Buddha statue twice the length of the famous one. Don't confuse them, as some tourists do. The large one is not an artistic masterpiece.
Best
times to come
To avoid the crowds, go early or late in the day - and definitely not on weekends.
