Where is Twin Cities Kannonji?

Shuangcheng Kannonji is a cultural tourist attraction.

Shuangcheng Kannonji is located in the northeast corner of Shuangcheng Town, covering an area of 2,400 square meters. It is one of the most complete existing temples in Shuangcheng.

Kannonji, formerly known as Kannonji, was severely damaged in the ten-year catastrophe of the Cultural Revolution. After the Cultural Revolution, with the further implementation of the party's religious policy and the care of the Shuangcheng municipal government, religious believers donated 6,543,800 yuan, which demolished the main hall that had been in disrepair for a long time, and at the same time repaired the east and west halls. There are 37 Buddhist disciples in Kannonji. On the first day, the fifteenth day and the eighth, eighteenth and twenty-eighth day of April of the lunar calendar, people who burn incense, pray and worship come from all directions, cigarettes are around, chanting is endless, and people who browse and visit at ordinary times are also in an endless stream.

Kannonji consists of Maitreya Hall, Daxiong Hall, Dizang Hall and East-West Annex Hall. The front of Ursa Major Hall has a porcelain roof, which is very stable. On both sides of Erlong Pearl Sculpture, golden glazed tiles shine in the sunlight. Three-story cornices, resplendent. Carved beams and painted buildings are carved under the eaves, and eight characters are engraved in the four corners: "Be honest and clean, be merciful." There is a peaceful Sakyamuni Buddha in the temple, sitting next to Guanyin, with Manjusri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva standing. The temple is open, bright and clean. A 1000-pound cast iron censer, filled with cigarettes. In front of the temple, the posture of two male left-backs is daunting. East and west halls have their own characteristics. The spacious promenade, exquisite Soviet paintings and red paint columns set off the temple solemnly and elegantly. Kannonji is extraordinary, the cool spiritual life center of Shuangcheng, and the crystallization of the architectural art and wisdom of the people of Shuangcheng.
