Fahua Temple Review

Datong Fahua Temple is located near the east gate of Datong Ancient City. The biggest feature of this temple is the front and the back. 🌟 Highlights: The front door of the Qianmen Fahua Temple is very small, but the Qianmen Liuli archway is a archway re-engraved from Beijing Beihai Xiaoxitian, with colorful colors. After entering the door, the pavilion-style bell tower and the drum tower are relatively rare. The round side door next to the hall creates a feeling of Jiangnan gardens. The last entry of Fahua Temple is Fahua Tower Courtyard. After entering, it suddenly became bright. The Fahua Tower in the middle was built in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasty for the provincial protection of Shanxi Province. It is the only existing one in Datong City. This tower was built on a hexagonal high platform. A cave was built in the west of Gaotai. There was a small cave above the cave. Of course, the three stone inscriptions in this tower were the last of a Tibetan Jingdian. The Falun Palace of the Beijing Lama Temple was re-engraved. You will think this is a low-key and luxurious monastery. Every year, Fahua Temple will hold a Fa meeting at the Lantern Festival.
