Shanhua Temple.

I visited Datong many years ago and visited Huayan Temple. This time I came to Datong again, and I was looking forward to the rebirth of Shanhua Temple. The door opened at seven o'clock in the morning, and there were only a few tourists. A young lady gave a lecture, and a sticky tabby cat followed all the way. Datong has three complete Liao Dynasty buildings, Xiahuayan Temple, Yingxian Wooden Tower, and the Daxiong Hall of Shanhua Temple. It has been nearly a thousand years, and it was listed as a national treasure in 61 years, and it has survived the historical catastrophe. Inside the mountain gate are four majestic but not fierce wind and rain, the most beautiful Bodhisattva with low eyebrows and eyes, lotus arches, round and square algae wells, every place is amazing, compared with the complexity of the Forbidden City, Liao Jin architecture, More is the legacy of the Tang Dynasty, majestic, rigorous and open. The Jin Dynasty Yuanman monk presided over the renovation and reconstruction, and it took 15 years to repair. Thousand-year-old temple, educate for good.
