Datong Fahua Temple|A classic passed down through the ages.

|A classic passed down through the ages. Fahua Temple is located on the north side of Heyang Street in Datong City. It is a Lama temple facing south. The architectural style of the entire temple is unique, combining Buddhist culture and Shanxi local characteristics. The architectural layout of the temple is rigorous, with high and low levels and left and right symmetry, reflecting the beauty of harmony in ancient architecture. There are three special places in Fahua Temple. The first is that the temple uses a gorgeous glazed archway instead of the mountain gate of a general temple. The four-pillar and three-door archway stands there, and the red, yellow, and green glaze is dazzling in the sun. The second special place is the round bell and drum tower. It is said to be built in combination with the characteristics of the Mongolian bag. It looks like two pretty small pavilions from a distance. The Fahua Pagoda standing at the back of the temple is the third special place of the temple. It is the only existing bowl-shaped glazed Lama Pagoda in Datong City. Looking at the white tower standing under the blue sky, it seems to feel the floating clouds on the top of the tower, and the wind and clouds change. There is also a classic handed down in the Fahua Pagoda in the temple-"Fahua Sutra". The treasure blue plaque with the three golden characters of Fahua Temple has faded, and the carved beams and painted buildings are also dusty. However, the classical architectural shape and gorgeous and harmonious colors still reveal the elegance and poetry of Oriental temperament.
