The 700-year-old ancient temple on the Yangtze River, still solid through many natural disasters

In the context that central and southern China is suffering from the most severe floods in many years, causing people to flee their homes, many buildings and houses have collapsed or seriously damaged. Recently, on social networks, suddenly appeared a lot of pictures of a temple located on the Yangtze River (Truong Giang), standing tall and solid in the middle of flood water.

It is known that this is Guan Yin Temple, located in Ezhou, Hubei Province - 80km by river from Wuhan city. In the video, viewers can see that Quan Am Pagoda is submerged in flood water on the Yangtze River, even though the water is fast and strong, the 700-year-old temple is still solid and hard to be affected.

Quan Am Pagoda was first built in the 13th century in the Song dynasty of China and in the Yuan dynasty was repaired and rebuilt. Thanks to a solid foundation, placed on a rocky island in the middle of the Yangtze River, the temple has stood proudly in the middle of the river for centuries. Even the historic floods of 1998 and 2017 did not affect the ancient temple much.

In addition, Quan Am Pagoda is known as "the first temple on the Yangtze River". According to heritage conservation experts, the temple's furniture has been moved and the doors are opened to reduce the impact of water on this sacred place.
