Shibaozhai is China’s state-level protected historic site and Listed as a 4A tourists’ attraction. It is located in north shore of Yangtze River in Zhongxian part, Chongqing. The name “Shibaozhai” means a precious stone. It lies on a rocky and craggy hill, which is extremely steep.
At the top of Shibaozhai is a three-storied hall dedicated to Manjusri built during the reign of the Xianfeng Emperor (1850–1861), called the Purple Rain Pavilion. In the year 1819, the nine-story pavilion was constructed adjacent to the cliff to aid people in getting to the top of the hill. Prior to the construction of the pavilion, visitors to the temple were hoisted to the top using a system of chains. In 1956, three more stories were added at the top of the structure
