Characteristics and travel guide of the Maitreya Buddha in Xuedou Mountain

The huge open-air Maitreya Buddha statue in the temple can be regarded as a conspicuous landmark in the Xikou Scenic Area, and can be seen from many places from a distance arrive. Walking up to the Big Buddha and "cradling the Buddha's feet" to gain good fortune is also an experience favored by tourists and pilgrims. Except for the open-air Maitreya, there are no special landscapes in Xuedou Temple that cannot be missed. You can just relax and stroll around and enjoy it.

You can buy a separate ticket to visit Xuedou Temple, but most tourists will directly purchase a Xuedou Mountain Scenic Area package ticket, and visit the Miaogao Terrace, Qianzhang Rock and other landscapes on Xuedou Mountain together, which not only provides a richer experience , the route is more reasonable and the price is more cost-effective. Miaoxiangzhai is the vegetarian restaurant of Xuedou Temple. Tourists can also come here to eat. What you eat is a buffet, and you can add more when you're done.
