Outside Town Most of Baoshan's historic attractions lie outside the city proper, and are best accessed by hiring a car or minivan, though buses do run to individual sites. Reclining Buddha Temple is an impressive temple a few kilometres north of the city. Entry is free, and a multitude of unique arhat (enlightened being) sculptures flank the cave in which a massive six metre Jade Buddha strikes a timeless repose. A few decorative buildings and ponds also lie within the temple grounds. Bei Miao is a large resevoir further north of town that is occasionally plied by tour boats. Entry costs 5元 and is of dubious value - the waters are visible from the Dali-Baoshan freeway. Light of Respect Temple is a photogenic temple complex situated atop a hill on the northern Baoshan plain. About ten buildings, currently almost disused, boast intricately carved wooden beams, impressive roof structures, and the remnants of some older painted decoration. The site was recently used as a base by the local anti-Japanese resistance leader Li Gen Yuan, who hailed from nearby Tengchong. Nearby Jiang Tai Temple is reputed to be where Zhu Ge Liang, a famous military strategist from China's Three Kingdoms Period planned his battles. The temple is not under state protections and is virtually destroyed - half of the walls are missing, the rooves are broken in many places and locals use the entire grounds for vegetable cultivation. Partly gutted by a fire in January 2006, despite all that there are still a few carved beams and heavily weathered decorations to see, if you're in the area. Jewelled Vessel Zen Temple seems to be being developed as Baoshan's latest tourist attraction. Spectacularly set atop a high mountain peak, the temple offers views of the surrounding countryside, though it's a mission to get there: the temple is located up a winding, twenty kilometre dirt road. Reclining Bull Temple is about five kilometres up that road, part way up the mountain. 650 years old, it has been redeveloped and expanded in recent years. The local nuns are friendly, and you may find yourself offered food if you arrive around meal times. A bit of older architecture and an impressive carving of a reclining bull are the highlights here.
