## About Fayu Temple

The second-largest temple on the mountain and a must-see. Like the others, it is a place to burn incense and worship devoutly; as Buddhist chanting echoes through the halls, you can glimpse the elegance of its architecture. A highlight of Fayu Temple is the glazed roof tiles on the Nine Dragons Hall, which are said to have been moved from the Ming dynasty Imperial Palace in Nanjing.
