In fact, it is a supporting role, used to set off the protagonist, but the main attraction is its flashy and ornate appearance 🪷Longquan Temple Guanyin Hall I personally think that the only highlight of the entire Longquan Temple is the hanging sculpture in the Guanyin Hall, a relic of the Ming Dynasty, located in an octagonal pavilion. In the front are the three saints of the west, on the sides are the four heavenly kings, the main deity is Guanyin, and on the sides are sculpted Arhats, symbolizing the 'Eighteen Arhats paying homage to Guanyin' 📌tips: There are two Longquan Temples in Taiyuan, this one is within the Taishan scenic area. The Guanyin Hall is situated halfway up the mountain, and it takes more than half an hour to climb. It is unmanaged and photography is allowed at will. I think, could it be properly maintained? Squirrels have even made nests in the sculpture niches. It's not easy for these Ming Dynasty sculptures to have survived to this day without being destroyed by natural disasters or human calamities. Let's not let the little squirrels ruin them...
