Introduction to Thousand Buddha Pavilion: Thousand Buddha Pavilion is about 20 meters high. The base of the pavilion is made of long white granite boulders stacked on top of each other. It is 18 meters long from north to south, 3 meters wide from east to west, and 7 meters high. There is an east-west arch running through the middle, which was necessary for entering and exiting the gate in the past. The attic is in the style of a mountain with double eaves and two overhangs, with the four corners stretched out, forming a beautiful appearance of flying in the sky. The Lantern Festival in Qianfo Pavilion has the most unique style. The most peculiar thing is that there are no large and luxurious lamps here. The thousands of bright lamps dedicated to the Buddha are carefully made from dough by thousands of households. Each lamp is no more than an inch in diameter. They are all small and compact. They are made into cows, horses, Sheep, chickens, dogs, hogs and other "six animals" or various flowers and lotus leaves. Today, Qianfo Pavilion has become one of the few Buddhist tourist attractions on the Jiaodong Peninsula. It is a key cultural relics protection unit in China. It was built in commemoration of Bodhidharma in the seventh year of Xuanhe of Song Dynasty (1125), covering an area of ​​about 3,000 square meters. It was renovated in 1985 and now has a mountain gate, a main hall, two small pavilions and a Thousand Buddhas Pavilion.
