At Huayan Temple, be amazed by the aesthetics of a thousand-year-old ancient temple

Stepping through the mountain gate feels like traveling back to the Liao and Jin dynasties. Looking up, the "Eastern Venus" smiles with hands clasped and teeth showing, her lively expression crossing a thousand years and touching the soul. Turning around, the exquisite heavenly palace pavilions inside the Buddhist scripture hall are praised by Mr. Liang Sicheng as a "unique treasure in the country," with every bracket telling the story of the Liao dynasty craftsmen's exquisite skill. Strolling through the vast ancient buildings, the vermilion pillars, sturdy chiwen (mythical roof decorations), and the deep blue sky form an eternal painting. The autumn breeze brushes the wind chimes hanging from the eaves, and in their crisp sound, time seems to slow down. This is not just a temple, but a living architectural museum and a silent history lesson.
