Sichuan Province not only has spicy and delicious hot pot, but its natural scenery and man-made landscapes have also become its advantages in attracting tourists.

In recent years, when many tourists arrive in Sichuan, in addition to admiring the very unique natural landscape, they will also visit pagodas and Buddhist statues with historical charm, such as the Thousand Pagodas and the Leshan Giant Buddha. The former is known as the "Sichuan version of Angkor Wat" in . It provides free services to tourists, but has been abandoned for more than 20 years.
Among the many scenic spots in Sichuan, Thousand Pagodas Buddhist Kingdom meets the standards in the minds of most tourists. The attraction is located in the forest of Sichuan Province and is surrounded by mountains. The environment around the scenic spot is relatively beautiful, and the number of tourists is not large. People can visit the entire scenic spot quietly.
There are many pagodas with different shapes in the Thousand Pagodas Buddhist Kingdom. After people arrive here, they can purify their souls and feel the immortal energy and Buddhist charm. During the Jurassic period, the herbivorous dinosaurs living in this area chose a very suitable food, which was named philodendron tree . Numerous eucalyptus trees form a woodland here, thus hiding the 108 red sandstone pagodas of the Thousand Pagodas Buddhist Kingdom.
The Thousand Pagodas Buddhist Kingdom has a long history
As early as the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, India Asoka became the faith of King Wu Yue. In order to further show his personal respect for the idol, 84,000 pagodas were specially built. During the Tang Dynasty, multiple cultures poured into the Central Plains, especially those led by Buddhist culture and Taoist culture. At the same time, Wu Zetian particularly praised the construction of pagodas, which also made the number of pagodas in the Tang Dynasty unparalleled. The constant changes of the times, coupled with the weather, weather and weather, have caused many pagodas to be seriously damaged. Although some pagodas have been well built by later generations, there are still ancient pagodas that can never be repaired.
If we combine the development history of pagodas with the 108 red sandstone pagodas in the Thousand Pagodas Kingdom, it is not difficult to find that the ancient pagodas in the Thousand Pagodas Kingdom are very well preserved. When tourists come to Sichuan Thousand Pagodas Buddhist Country, forests and pagodas merge with each other, and tourists seem to have come to Cambodia, , so people also call it "Sichuan Angkor Wat" .
Under normal circumstances, most scenic spots have developers, and the developers will make a large amount of investment to ensure the smooth progress of the entire project, and Thousand Pagodas Buddha Country is no exception. When the Thousand Pagodas Buddha Kingdom was first built, the scenic spot gained a high popularity. Many tourists who could not reach Cambodia would also come to the Thousand Pagodas Buddha Kingdom to experience a different scenery.
As time goes by, the official has not announced the important reason why the construction of Thousand Pagodas Buddha Kingdom has been stopped. Although tickets are no longer charged, the scenic spot has gradually become deserted. Nowadays, even if people arrive at the Thousand Pagodas Buddha Kingdom, which was once popular, it is difficult to see a large number of tourists and can only see high weeds. However, everyone should make adequate travel planning when going to this scenic spot. It is recommended that everyone travel together and never go to this scenic spot alone. After all, unmanaged scenic spots will inevitably have many poisonous insects and animals.
