The Sea God Temple in the south of the courtyard of Chikan Tower and Wenchang Pavilion in the north are two traditional Chinese buildings with red tiles and flying eaves. According to the data, bypassing the back door of Tanah Lot, there are two door openings in the shape of a vase, representing the meaning of "peace". After visiting the Sea Temple, we came to the Wenchang Pavilion in the north. It was a pavilion built during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty.
