Inside the Hall of the Three Pure Ones, the Supreme Pure One, the Moral Pure One, and the Primeval Pure One stand side by side, blessing the faithful. It is rumored that this place has particularly notable powers for attracting wealth💰 and turning fortunes🍀, drawing many believers to pray for blessings. Four Halls in Succession·Steps of Devotion👣 The Guanyue Temple is built along the mountainside, with a clever layout from top to bottom, consisting of 4⃣️ grand halls.
