Kunming Yuantong Temple Delta is the first time that I have ever walked down the mountain as soon as I entered the temple gate. Apart from the fact that Daxiong Palace is lower than the mountain gate, the architectural pattern of Yuantong Temple has a profound meaning. Just entering the Daxiong Palace, turn around and you will find that Sakyamuni's eyes and the Yuantong Street of the mountain gate are exactly at the same height. Is this also a kind of audiences? The open area of Yuantong Temple is not big, even gives you the illusion that the whole temple is a free pond, which is also a turtle and a fish returning to the west. There is a copper Buddhist temple near Houshan. The white spire is typical of Banna architecture. With the Daxiong Palace and the Lama Temple to the east, the Yuantong Temple contains three schools of Buddhism. You came here in the morning and stayed for a vegetarian meal. Apart from the delicious meal, you also met the fellow diners: the Beijing eldest brother in fantastic clothes, the wet nurse who gives paper enthusiastically, and the uncle who prays for Buddha. By the way, let's go and get a bowl of soup after dinner, Grandma said.
