景致
安(an)岳縣木門(men)寺(si)這(zhe)種仿(fang)木結(jie)構的石建(jian)筑,為(wei)世(shi)所罕見(jian),是現代建(jian)筑學者和雕刻藝術家(jia)研究(jiu)、鑒賞的不可多得的實(shi)物(wu)史料。 木門(men)寺(si)后還保(bao)存了一座“大(da)雄(xiong)殿(dian)”。此(ci)殿(dian)依山而立(li),古樸壯(zhuang)麗,雕工精美(mei)。它和清涼山麓那一片蔥蘢(long)熾(chi)盛的森林相(xiang)映生輝(hui),把(ba)木門(men)寺(si)裝點(dian)得更加(jia)古樸幽靜,令人陶醉。木門(men)寺(si)與臥佛院(yuan)又相(xiang)距甚近,是一個探幽攬(lan)勝的好去處。
