The pagoda of Huayan Temple is very eye-catching, and you can have a panoramic view of the splendid and magnificent Huayan Temple! It's a pity that the core hall of the ancient temple cannot be entered, and can only be photographed outside the hall. Fortunately, there is still weak light, so you can barely see the appearance.
