The Dongyue Temple in Puxian is mysterious and full of ancient charm

In the Dongyue Temple in Puxian, Linfen, there is an underworld, commonly known as the Eighteen Levels of Hell. Its large scale and comprehensive content are rare in the country. Initially worried about being scared, but the strong sunlight on this day actually shone a bit into the hell after descending eighteen steps. Although there were not many tourists, having someone nearby made it less frightening. This Dongyue Temple is located on the top of a mountain, built around the mountain, and its age is untraceable. There are two catalpa trees from the Tang Dynasty in the temple, lush and green. The wood carvings, clay sculptures, opera stages, and pavilions are all artistic treasures. Viewed individually, they feel very ancient and charming. Legend has it that this place is also the palace of the Great Emperor of the East, who governs the cycle of life and death in the human world. Therefore, there are also seventy-two departments and various regulations and punishments, which envelop this place in a mysterious and uneasy atmosphere.
