Introduction to Yingjiang Temple: Yingjiang Temple, once known as the "Ancient Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple", is located in the southeast of Anqing City. It was built in the 47th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1619). The plaque on the mountain gate is written by Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. Once you enter the Tianwang Hall and the mountain gate, it merges into one. In the middle sits a statue of Maitreya Buddha with bare chest and abdomen, open mouth and a smile. Behind him stands a statue of Wei Tuo, facing Sakyamuni Buddha. On both sides of the hall are the "Four Heavenly Kings", each more than 3 meters high and majestic.
