This small, intriguing temple to the east of Jiefangbei is definitely worth a visit. As you approach the temple you’ll see a collection of incense shops that lead to its entrance. Once inside, the first thing you’ll come across is a severely eroded but fascinating collection of Buddhist figures chiseled into the bare rockface.
These were originally carved in the Song dynasty and are decorated with flowers, clothing and surrounded by incense, making for an atmospheric first impression of the temple. In the main temple complex itself you’ll find the luohan for which the temple is named, along with the usual collection of statuary to Sakyamuni and giant incense and candle burners. The temple is still very active and you’ll see plenty of monks in attendance, along with folk from all walks of life coming to pray.
