Introdution

Located 10 km east of Lantian County in Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, under the Wangshun Mountain, Pu Hua Town, Shuilu'an Temple is famous for the famous temples of the six dynasties and is famous for preserving ancient exquisite and rare colored sculptures. It is the treasure house of ancient sculpture art in China and is known as "the second Dunhuang of China". It is surrounded by water on three sides, shaped like an island, the emperor has a towering green mountain, and there is a river circulation around it, so it is called "Shuilu'an".

Because he liked the scenery here, he worshipped the temple as a monarchy and renovated it. It was announced as a national cultural relic protection unit in 1996.
