DaCi ZhenRu Hall
大慈真如殿

DaCi ZhenRu Hall is special in being made entirely from NanMu wood. It has a beautiful unpainted appearance - and the enchanting fragrance from the wood often makes visitors linger. It is one of the finest examples of Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644) architecture still standing.

大慈真如殿为天王殿中院正殿，是北海现存的最高等级的建筑，全部有金丝楠木建成。它不施彩绘，有着原始的美丽，走进大殿楠木芳香扑鼻，给人以清心爽气之感，久久不愿离去。它是明代（1368-1644）的建筑屹立至今。
