Fanjingshan Temple is actually the two temples,
namely Temple of the Buddha and Maitreya Temple,
on the peak of the “Red Clouds Golden Summit” (the
New Golden Summit at Fanjing Mountain.

One is for worshipping Sakiymuni representing the
present and the other is for Maitreya representing the
future.

The two temples were originally built from Yongle
period of Ming Dynasty, about over 500 years ago, and
the present temples have been rebuilt according to its
original look and with iron tiles to protect from the

strong mountain wind.
And there is only one hall for each temple, which is
built with layers of stone pieces into 5.4 meters wide

and 5.55 meters deep.

above the deep Gold Sword Gorge.
And people to Fanjingshan can only climb up by the
thousands of steps to first visit the Temple of Buddha
on the south side, and walk across the bridge to visit
Maitreya Temple on the north side of “Red Clouds
Golden Summit”, which proves the alternation from
Sakiyamuni to Maitreya to mean from present to
future in Buddhist theory.

Since “Red Clouds Golden Summit” is often surrounded
by mists and sea of clouds, standing on the platform
outside of Fanjingshan Temple is really cool to admire

the extraordinary view like viewing in the air.

Temple to add such incredible experience and
