A Temple in the Morning Twilight (Dulesi)
 At
dawn, the Dule Temple is immersed in the splendor of
the rising sun and rosy clouds. Sunrays cascade down
from the head of Guanyin (Mother Buddha), casting over
the temple a spell that will make your heart stay.
The Dule Temple, magnificent
and rationally laid out, is an ancient architectural
masterpiece. It also houses one of the most magnificent
colored sculptures. In 1961, it was designated as a
protected historical relic.
The Dule Temple is located within
the boundaries of Jixian County. It comprises the Hall
of Guanyin (Mother Buddha), an east wing and a west
wing. Its Hall of Guanyin (Mother Buddha) is the earliest
storied architectural structure of wood well preserved.
Its sculpture of Guanyin (Mother Buddha) is one of the
biggest ancient earth sculptures well preserved.
