The main attractions of Tan Hua Temple

Tan Hua Temple is located at the foot of Jinma Mountain, about 3 kilometers east of Kunming, by the Jinzhi River. This used to be the villa of Dr. Guanglu Shiqiao in Ming Dynasty. During the Chongzhen period (1628── 1644), his great-grandson Steinway donated money to build a temple, during the Qing Dynasty (182 1 ── 188). There is a Yutan tree in the temple (actually Magnolia grandiflora in Yunnan, with a tree age of more than 300 years). According to legend, it originated in India, hence the name of the temple, and the ancient trees still stand in the courtyard of the Buddhist scriptures building in the temple. There is a stone carving on the wall with the four characters "Youtan Xianrui". This temple has always been famous for its colorful flowers and trees. In the early years of the Republic of China, the abbot and monk reflected that "flowers are famous for their fine arts in central Yunnan", which made the temple "graceful and graceful in flowers and trees, and never thanked at four o'clock". Peony, Chunlan, Snow Orchid and Tiger Orchid were cultivated in that year. The area of Tan Hua Temple is similar to that of Yuantong Temple, but the architecture of Yuantong Temple is generous and spectacular, while that of Tan Hua Temple is small and exquisite.
