Scenes from a sacred Buddhist village

Jiuhua Shan, or the Nine Magnificent Mountains, is the southernmost peak of China's four Buddhist holy mountains, nestled in southern Anhui Province. It is not only a popular destination for Buddhist pilgrims and summer tourists, but also home to hundreds of monks and villagers.[by Johanna Yueh/China.org.cn]

Padlocks line the rails on the way to Bai Sui Gong, affixed by couples who wanted to 'lock' their love to each other. Bai Sui Gong (the Hundred-Years Palace), which sits atop the Eastern Precipice, is dedicated to a monk who died at the age of 126. His mummified body is kept in a glass case inside the temple.

The Korean-influenced decor of Dizang Chan Temple is a tribute to a Korean prince Kim Kiao Kak who came to Jiuhua Mountain and meditated for 75 years. According to Buddhist legend, when he died at 99, his body remained intact and looked much like the Bodhisattva Kshitigarbha (Dizang), so he is thought to be the reincarnation of Dizang.
