Yongyou Hall

Yongyou hall, with a single eaves on the top of Xieshan mountain, has a "bright five and dark ten" structure, which means that there are five houses on the outside. In fact, it is a combination of two five houses. Yongyou hall was the study and sleeping Hall of Prince Yong in the period of Wang Fu. Later, it became a studio for the late emperor in the Qing Dynasty. Yongyou means to protect the spirits of the deceased. In the center of the hall, on the lotus throne, are three 2.35-meter-high Buddha statues, which are made of sandalwood. In the middle is Amitabha Buddha, on the left is pharmacist Buddha, and on the right is lion roaring Buddha. When you leave Yongyou hall, you go to Falun hall. On the left and right sides are Panchen tower and Jietai tower. The plane of Falun hall is in a cross shape. On the top of the hall, there are five skylight style dark buildings and five bronze gilt pagodas, which are traditional Tibetan architectural forms.
