Guanyin Temple was built in the Jin Dynasty. It has three halls: Shanmen Hall, Guanyin Hall and Huicheng Hall. It is divided into upper and lower houses, connected by 108 steps in between.

I prefer the journey down the mountain from Guanyin Temple, following the navigator, the slide releases passion and speed, and the rapid descent and turning are both exciting and exciting!

3. Ring the bell to pray

At the bell ringing place near the Tianwang Hall, a huge word for blessing is hung on the big clock. Ringing the bell can express good wishes such as good luck and peace, happiness, health and longevity.
