The hidden secrets of Yeongjosa Temple

The Twin Pagodas Park is free, but you need to buy a ticket to see the Xuanwen and Wenfeng twin towers hidden in the Yongzuo Temple. It is convenient to buy tickets at the park entrance. You just need to walk up the steps to the entrance of the Twin Towers Museum and scan the code (Figure 2) to buy tickets - you need to enter a lot of information. Yongzuo Temple consists of three courtyards, each with its own unique features. The first courtyard is called Ruyi Gate, and on the gate there are four characters "Jiyuan Shengjing" written by the then Yangqu County prefect. The second courtyard is the peony garden. Peony is a flower species unique to my country, and Yongzuo Temple provides a unique environment for the reproduction and growth of peonies. The peony gardens in Yongzuo Temple cover an area of ​​more than 30 mu, with more than 4,000 plants and more than 80 varieties. At the turn of spring and summer, the old branches in the temple stand tall and straight, and new flowers bloom, making the whole temple gorgeous and colorful - these are what I saw when I went there in winter. Introduction [Grin] The third gate of the temple was built in the 16th year of the Republic of China (1927 AD), and the four characters "Yongzuo Zen Forest" are inscribed on the gate. The two towers are shaped like twin sisters, and you can see the difference if you look closely. The outline of the Wenfeng Pagoda does not have a distinct taper, and the top of the pagoda is a stone "gourd-shaped" top. The body of the Xuanwen Pagoda has a distinct taper, and the pagoda top is made of copper and iron in the shape of a vase. Between the brackets of the first layer of the tower, "Amitabha" is engraved. The font is like a ribbon, beautiful and symmetrical, which is truly ingenious. You can climb up the Xuanwen Tower - for free, which is really rare. The stairs get narrower and steeper as you go up. When you reach the top, you can see the Wenfeng Tower. You can take a picture of it by kneeling down and stretching your hand. [Grin]
