Taihua Temple + Huating Temple + Nie Er Tomb

I've always liked looking at ancient buildings, so I'm always visiting temples, ancestral halls, memorial halls, and other places. But actually, I can't really tell the difference between them. However, I've also seen many couplets one after another (this time I carefully looked at the Yang Shen'an Xu Xiake Memorial Hall, and I remember: "Profound and profound, the literary style is a great scholar; a life of ups and downs, a broad-minded and true celebrity"; "Discussing great etiquette, the face is folded and the court is fighting for the love of Yunnan, famous people and famous works will last forever; planning a long journey, the mountain road turns back and involves Cang'er, a strange man and a strange book travels thousands of miles"), caisson ceilings (I feel that every temple is very distinctive, Taihua Temple has a cloud dragon + lotus), flying eaves (these two temples are more traditional with five ridges and six beasts, I remember that Chaozhou is painted and inlaid with porcelain art, which is very beautiful), murals (my favorite is Zhu Family Garden, although it is not a temple, haha), you can sit in the long corridor or pavilion to enjoy the scenery, drink tea, and sit for an afternoon. The walls of Taihua Temple are a bit peeling, and the higher places are even being repaired. There is a ginkgo tree planted by Emperor Jianwen at the entrance. When looking back, when the bell is ringing, and when offering incense, it may really resonate with history in the shadows. Xishan Scenic Area
