While journeying towards Seda, one passes through the charming town of Guanyin Bridge in Jinchuan, where a remarkable Guanyin Temple stands. Renowned as the "Second Potala Palace" within the Tibetan region, this temple harbors a stone-bodied bodhisattva, manifesting as a four-armed Guanyin. Long ago, a humble farmer stumbled upon a colossal stone resembling Guanyin in their field, and thus, with careful craftsmanship, it was transformed into a revered Buddha statue, becoming an object of worship.
Perched atop a mountain in Guanyin Town, the temple's location demands caution from those less skilled in navigating treacherous, narrow mountain roads. It is, therefore, recommended for such individuals to seek the guidance of local inhabitants.
Originating from the magnificent Tang Dynasty in the 7th century, the temple boasts a rich history spanning over 1,400 years. Although ravaged by a devastating fire in 1961, it was dutifully restored in 1979 and presently undergoes meticulous maintenance.
Within the temple's right hall, an exquisite four-armed Guanyin effigy gracefully presides. The hall's walls, adorned with intricate thangka paintings, evoke an aura reminiscent of ancient murals, epitomizing the artistry of delicate brushstrokes.
Ascending from the main hall's left wing, one encounters a series of grand halls, where talented artisans diligently create captivating thangka masterpieces.
Continuing onwards, the left side reveals an expansive forest of prayer flags, forming a breathtaking spectacle that captivates the senses.
