The courtyard has one entrance, with the main hall standing solemnly and the Dizang Hall quietly on both sides. 🏗️ Architectural Features: The main hall is spacious, with five bays and six rafters deep, single-eaved with two ends. The beam structure is exquisite, and the column heads are adorned with dougong, showcasing the ancient craftsmen's superb skills. 🌟 Colored Sculptures: Inside the hall, there are 12 Buddha statues, 9 of which are from the Song and Jin dynasties. There are also hanging sculptures on the beams, each a treasure of art. 🎨 Decoration Details: The front eaves are elaborately decorated, with a plaque inscribed with 'Piluzhenjing' hanging in the center. This was written by Li Hang in the ninth year of Daoguang (1829) of the Qing Dynasty, witnessing the passage of time. 🚗 Travel Tips: Driving is the best choice.
