The main attractions of Xikou Scenic Area

Xuedou Temple is named after Xuedou Mountain, which spans dozens of kilometers and the highest point is more than 900 meters above sea level. The main peak of the whole mountain is called Feng Ru, and there is a cave under Feng Ru. The spring water spouted in the cave is like milk, so it is called Xuedou Mountain or Mammary Sinus, hence the name Xuedou Mountain.

Xuedou Temple has a long history. Originally called "Waterfall Courtyard" in the Jin Dynasty, it has a history of 1700 years. In 999, North Song Zhenzong presented a "Snow Bucket Holy Temple". When Ningzong was in the Southern Song Dynasty, Xuedou Temple was listed as one of the "Five Mountains and Ten Temples" according to the rating of temples in the world. Song Lizong Zhao Yunyu's book Meng Ying Mingshan has the reputation of "Meng Ying Dojo". Outside Xuedou Temple, the inscription of "The First Mountain of Siming" on the mountain gate was first visible, written by Chiang Kai-shek himself.

There are two big trees in the gate, which are called Ginkgo Tree, Ginkgo Tree and Gongsun Tree. These two ginkgo plants are hermaphroditic, the female plant on the left and the male plant on the right. What is more precious is that they were planted in the Han Dynasty and are called "Ginkgo biloba in the Han Dynasty". Guo Moruo once said when he visited Xuedou Temple: "The trees in the Han Dynasty are sincere!" There is a stone tablet next to the male tree, which says "Maitreya should be a scenic spot". Refers to the deep roots of Maitreya Buddha and Xuedu Temple. According to legend, Maitreya appeared in the river in Fenghua County and was adopted by people in Changting Village. Later, he became a monk in Fenghua Lin Yue Temple and often went to Xuedou Temple to give lectures. Therefore, both Lin Yue Temple and Xuedou Temple are called "Maitreya's Holy Land" and are recognized as Maitreya Dojo. Therefore, a "Maitreya Hall" was specially built between the Heavenly King Hall and the Ursa Major Hall in Xuedou Temple.

Behind the Temple of the King of Heaven is the Maitreya Buddha Hall, with the Maitreya Buddha in the middle and Maitreya Buddhists in various forms on both sides. Behind the Mahayana Hall is the Dharma Hall, also known as the Buddhist Sutra Building. I saw two nanmu trees in front of the Dharma Hall. According to legend, it was planted by patriotic general Zhang Xueliang, so people called it "General Nan".
