What travelers say:

A sacred temple in Kyoto, Japan, was built in 1234CE, the founder of the Faran Shangren, the largest of the temples in Kyoto, the total Honmachi of the Pure Earth Zong. Founded by the Disciples of Faran in 1175, the main church can accommodate more than 3,000 people. The courtyard has the largest gate in Japan and the largest bell in Japan, weighing 74 tons, and it takes 17 monks to work hard to ring it. The seven incredible doors and books "pulling the sparrow" that were pulled out for their exquisite depiction, and the "squeaking" floor that squeaked on it, are also widely known treasures of the Zhienyuan.
