Why is the reclining Buddha Temple in Dongshan, Taiyuan abandoned?

Because of aging buildings, outdated infrastructure, accelerated urbanization, chaotic management and poor maintenance.

According to the information of Lvzumiao Street Resource Station, there are many reasons for the closure of Wolong Temple in Dongshan, Taiyuan, among which the main reasons are its aging buildings and outdated infrastructure. Because Wolong Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty, it has a long history of repair after thousands of years of wind and rain. Coupled with long-term natural weathering and man-made destruction, the buildings and facilities of Wolong Temple have been seriously aging and damaged, which has led to an increase in its security risks. In order to ensure the safety of tourists, the authorities had to close the Wolong Temple. In addition, with the acceleration of urbanization in Taiyuan, the surrounding environment and transportation facilities have been continuously improved, resulting in a decline in the number of tourists and economic benefits of Wolong Temple. In addition, Wolong Temple still has the problems of chaotic management and poor maintenance, which is one of the reasons for its closure.
