Temples dedicated to Buddha abound here, and because of the infinite devotion of residents to the Buddha, the temples here are the most beautiful buildings, cleanliness, tranquility and beauty are the characteristics of the temple, and the Buddha statues in the temple are also incomparably dignified, prudent and beautiful.
