奉國寺

This temple was built in 1020 of the Liao Dynasty and has stood over a thousand of years. During this period, it experienced a series of disasters such as the big earthquake of the Yuan Dynasty and the civil war in China, and still stands here. The seven former Buddhas in the Daxiong Hall are made of mud and wood, and they are lifelike and the colors are still the same. Here, you can also see various artifacts from the Jin, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. However, in terms of the sophistication of the temple's mortise and tenon structure, the comparison of various historical periods is breathtakingly the exquisite skills of the ancient Chinese. This is a must visit place in China.

非常值得一去的地方。就是一定要提前3個小時購買，否則真是進不去。線上購票也沒有紙質版的門票，也不能花1元錢吃寺里的禪食，這個要提前考慮好了。

在攜程網上買票十分方便，免去了現場買票排隊等候的麻煩。奉國寺真的是一座非常震撼的但是卻知名度沒有那麼大的景點，你必須要到現場去感受一下裏面的建築，而且是適合你去細細品味的，對於美術生和藝術生、還有建築學學生來說，這裏絕對是能讓你獲得很多知識的地方。

奉國寺被建築學家梁思成稱之為“千年國寶、無上國寶、罕有的寶物，蓋遼代佛殿最大者也”，始建於遼開泰九年(1020 年)，是國內現存“遼代三大寺院”（薊縣獨樂寺、大同華嚴寺、義縣奉國寺）之一；其標誌性古建築大雄殿是遼代佛教建築的最高成就，是古代遺存最大的佛殿，被譽為“中國第一大雄寶殿”，殿內有世界上最古老、最大的泥塑彩色佛像群。“七佛並列”為佛教界獨一無二。“倒坐觀音”問觀音為何倒坐，嘆眾生不肯回頭！

值得一去的好地方，每一處都是風景，景區不大，就是三個景區都不在一起還是自駕方便，從錦州開到奉國寺正好一個小時，再從奉國寺去萬佛窟要20多公里，個個景區一個小時都可以走下來，第二個安泰門就路過了，也沒上去，

單檐廡殿頂九開間，轟天巨構，遼代雄風，七佛震撼無比，斗拱碩大，曲線自然流暢，為遼代典型建築，關外第一！王家衛曾在一代宗師中來此取景
