Shengshui Temple

Shengshui Temple is a Buddhist sanctuary in Mianyang featuring elaborate architectural details and religious artworks throughout its grounds. The complex comprises multiple buildings with intricate carved ornaments, relief sculptures, and religious figures arranged in the traditional Chinese style.

The sanctuary originated during the Tang Dynasty around 880 as a modest shrine and received its current name in the 15th century. After centuries of change, the site underwent major renovation work in the 1980s.

The temple serves as an active place of worship where visitors can observe Buddhist practices and devotional rituals. The way pilgrims interact with the space shows how this location remains meaningful to the local community today.

The site is open to visitors daily and can be reached by regular transportation services from major cities in Sichuan Province. Wearing sturdy shoes is advisable since the grounds are hilly with multiple paths and staircases to explore.

The sanctuary blends ancient Buddhist artworks with modern relief sculptures added during recent restoration work. This combination of different periods shows how the Buddhist tradition has remained living and evolving at this location.
