Wutai Shan Buddhist Garden Tour
Join us for a tour of Buddhist culture, Chinese ancient building techniques and traditional Chinese garden designs. Situated just outside Bethany, this hilly area is ideal for displaying the large Buddhist statues. The Main Buddha Hall is fronted by a large Buddha and is filled with over 22,000 smaller carved Buddhas. The roof is covered with over 24,000 bronze roof shingles. Across the landscape are platforms and gardens that are strategically placed throughout the property. An amazing sight!
The wooden structures (high grade rosewood, camphor and yew) use large wooden interlocking brackets without a single nail. All buildings are built according to traditional Chinese temple guidelines.
We’ll have a vegetarian lunch served on site, and a knowledgeable guide will tour us throughout the site and answer questions about the gardens and buildings.
