而(er)正前方(fang)是規模宏大(da)(da)的(de)大(da)(da)雄(xiong)(xiong)(xiong)寶(bao)殿(dian)(dian)。登臨(lin)山頂(ding),極目遠望,視野(ye)寬闊無比,景色十(shi)分壯(zhuang)麗。觀日出、云(yun)海、晚霞,令人興(xing)奮不已,徐州(zhou)的(de)美景盡在眼(yan)底,心曠神怡(yi)之情頓時油然而(er)生(sheng),頗有會當凌(ling)絕頂(ding),一覽眾山小的(de)意境。泰山寺的(de)大(da)(da)雄(xiong)(xiong)(xiong)寶(bao)殿(dian)(dian)是徐州(zhou)地區規模最大(da)(da)的(de)大(da)(da)雄(xiong)(xiong)(xiong)寶(bao)殿(dian)(dian)據悉(xi),方(fang)圓10公里內都可看到大(da)(da)雄(xiong)(xiong)(xiong)寶(bao)殿(dian)(dian)的(de)雄(xiong)(xiong)(xiong)姿。 重修的(de)大(da)(da)雄(xiong)(xiong)(xiong)寶(bao)殿(dian)(dian)投資500多(duo)(duo)萬元(yuan),都是泰山寺自籌(chou)的(de)資金,規模是過去的(de)20多(duo)(duo)倍。大(da)(da)雄(xiong)(xiong)(xiong)寶(bao)殿(dian)(dian)主殿(dian)(dian)長(chang)25米(mi)(mi),寬20米(mi)(mi),高19米(mi)(mi),占地面積500多(duo)(duo)平方(fang)米(mi)(mi)。
大雄(xiong)寶殿(dian)的建成,使得整個泰(tai)山(shan)寺縱深(shen)300米(mi),寬100米(mi),依(yi)山(shan)勢形成三(san)進院落,從前至(zhi)后依(yi)次為(wei)天(tian)王殿(dian)、大雄(xiong)寶殿(dian)、碧霞元(yuan)君(jun)殿(dian)。
而泰(tai)山(shan)寺的(de)最頂(ding)端(duan)就是(shi)名(ming)聞遐邇的(de)碧霞元君殿(dian)(民間也稱泰(tai)山(shan)娘(niang)娘(niang)殿(dian)),大殿(dian)左(zuo)右(you)兩邊皆是(shi)規模不小的(de)配殿(dian)。泰(tai)山(shan)奶(nai)奶(nai)殿(dian)前的(de)香爐則是(shi)煙霧繚繞,一年四季,來此上香、叩(kou)拜的(de)善男信女是(shi)絡繹不絕(jue)。
