Excellent

During a trip to Zhejiang, I visited the Putuoshan Scenic Area. The Duobao Pagoda Temple, built during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, is named after the Buddha Duobao Tathagata it enshrines. Located near the east gate of Puji Temple, it faces the Lotus Release Pond; the pagoda you see next to the pond is the Duobao Pagoda. Built against the mountain, the main building of the temple is the Duobao Pagoda Hall, which enshrines the Buddha Duobao Tathagata. The pagoda is often used to enshrine Buddhist scriptures and relics, and its body is exquisitely carved. It was closed the day I visited, so I could only view it from the outside. There is a hotel nearby.
