Shanxi Huayan Temple with 100 Tons of Copper underground 山西大同华严寺 现存辽金最大佛殿 | 地下有百吨黄铜你敢信？Travel Vlog

山西大同华严寺是我国辽金时期建筑群中规模最大的一座寺庙；其上寺中的大雄宝殿是我国现存辽、金时期最大的佛殿，同时也是我国最大的佛殿之一。由于契丹族崇拜太阳，她们每天早起的第一件事情就是东向而拜，居住习俗也坐西朝东。因此，华严寺也是坐西面东，与汉族寺庙坐北朝南的传统不同，在我国古建筑中独树一帜。
The Huayan temple is located in Datong town, Shanxi Province, China. It was first established in 1038，and the name of "Huayan" derives from Avatamsaka Sutra, which is commonly know as "Huayan Sutra." The template was devastated during the war and restored in 1140.
里面华严宝塔是继应县木塔之后全国第二大纯木榫卯结构的方形木塔，通高43米，塔下有近500平方米的千佛地宫，采用100吨纯铜打造而成，内供高僧舍利及千尊佛像，金碧辉煌，全国惟一。
The tower inside the temple has an underground palace made with 100 tons of pure copper with around 500 square meters of space.
