Awesome big temple, strong osmanthus fragrance, quiet and far away. Occasionally, the hotel is opposite the Kaiyuan Temple. Open at 8:30 in the morning, go in to worship Buddha and start a good day. Next time I will especially settle on the platform and go to Kaiyuan Temple.

No tickets, the entrance is Maitreya Buddha, there are four kings around, play for about an hour
