The air is fresh and clean, and it is a good place to worship Buddha in Qingming! During the holidays, you don't have to go to crowded places to get busy, it is still very good! There is a statue of Grand Guanyin in the temple, very solemn! Next time you have the opportunity to come back to the Buddha!
In Yangcheng Lake Scenic Area, the temple architecture is very new, and it is being renovated and newly built, which will reduce the vicissitudes of history. So the temple palace is more, but it just feels like visiting a man-made scenic spot.
The newly built place is especially large. According to the mountains and rivers, we have been to the 666 sincerity. We have been to it 2 times. We take the baby to pray for blessings, it is a holy place to pray.
If time permits, you can walk along Yangcheng Lake in the morning, walk about 50 minutes, the scenery on both sides of the trail is pleasant, the air is fresh. The incense fire of Zhongyuan Temple is very prosperous, there is the highest indoor Guanyin Buddha statue, it is worth going.
