Very nice
I have visited this site twice since moving to China. I have to say that this temple is beautiful. There is many things to see in the area including a very large drum and bell. If you want to you can pay a small fee of 1 to 12 RMB to ring the bell and hit the drum. Its considered good luck to do so. Though I have been twice I have to say my favorite time to visit is in the winter when it is covered in snow. It takes on a whole new look when you visit during the winter, plus there are not that many people there because its cold. If you are lucky you can visit the fair they have outside the gates of the temple. It there that you can buy gifts for people. Don't be surprised if people look at you and ask for photos. As a forgiener in the area you will probably one of the first they have seen in real life. So just smile and go with it.

A large temple
This is a large temple dedicated to the ancient Emperor Yao. Quite an average attraction but is worth a visit for those historically minded. For those looking for something special, there is a world-record 300 kg (3.11 m diameter) drum.

Ok
Nice temple, very beautiful. Just have to say that there are almost no explanations, and it is normally forbidden to take pictures in the temples, which is a lame, because it is where it's the more beautiful.
