After reviewing the Qintuan Temple, a bunch of temple evaluations went to my homepage. Baoshan Temple was relatively close and took advantage of the holiday. It is said that it is close, but it takes an hour and a half if you don't come to the bus. The temple gate on the main road cannot be opened, and according to the navigation, go to the door on the other side of the river. According to the evaluation of netizens, I brought paper money to buy tickets. The area is really amazing. The whole is that the left and right sides of the symmetrical layout of the building on both sides are not open. So I can't see the Wanfo Tower. I really like the wind bell on the tower. The video has been taken a lot. When I left, I saw someone flying a drone. I was so envious. The high-altitude perspective must be great.
