Why go
The golden figures beside the approach appear in varied poses, making the climb more than a means of reaching the halls. At the top, the pagoda and Arhats Corridor extend the sequence of Buddhist imagery. Despite its name, the complex is maintained by laypeople rather than a resident community of monks. The name also understates its scale: the complex contains nearly 13,000 Buddha statues.
