From Fan Shi and Shahe in the north to Wutai Mountain, we should pay attention to the changes of seasons and climate. Before May and after September, the expressway high into the clouds was blocked by snow, making it difficult to pass, and it took more than four months from mid-May to September.

Thousands of bowls of manjusri hall are dedicated to thousands of bowls of manjusri bronze statues cast in Ming Dynasty.
