The autumn scenery of Huayan Temple is like a painting

In Datong, the autumn at Huayan Temple is like a splendid and colorful scroll. The thousand-year-old ancient temple is bathed in golden light by time. When the wind rises, the wind chimes at the eaves carry the sound of Buddhist chants, and the bright red hawthorns hang down, adding a touch of Zen beneath the eaves. The autumn colors are hidden in the shadows of the windows of the Bhagavata Hall, reflected among the flying eaves and fallen leaves of the Huayan Pagoda, spread out on the ancient cypress steps in front of the Mahavira Hall, and warmed by the peaceful years under the ancient pines of the temple. Here, you can stand quietly under the flying eaves of the ancient buildings and listen to Zen while daydreaming, pick autumn leaves as bookmarks in front of the main hall, and watch the play of light and shadow by the red walls at the corner. Take advantage of the beautiful autumn light and clear Buddhist chants, come to Huayan Temple and feel this sense of Zen and clarity.
