镇国寺
Zhenguo Temple
Zhenguo Temple is the third component of Pingyao World Heritage. The core Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall is a rare wooden building from the Five Dynasties that has been preserved to this day. The brackets, low roofs and early statues make this place an indispensable stop for understanding the development of Chinese wooden structures before ancient city architecture in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Getting there
The temple is located in the northeast of the county, and public transportation is limited. It is suitable to arrange a vehicle combination tour in advance. Do not assume that you can immediately call an online taxi for your return trip.
Practical notes
This is a quiet religious architectural heritage and should not be used only as a quick photo spot. Observe the fence, do not touch the wooden structures and statues, and observe the architectural proportions completely from the courtyard.
