Architecture of the Monastery

It is a combination of wood structure and clay structure with the wood structure as the main. It is built along the side of the hill. The wall base is built by stones. The wall body is quite thick with very small windows, which gives one a feeling of stability and loftiness. At the bottom of the monastery, there are vermeil prisms. Its head are engraved with solid patterns with huge and thick wood upon it. Over the wall body there are many brown red fasciae decorated with items such as golden bronze mirrors. There are golden pillars vertically set above the roof with wind bell over it. In the middle of the face of the roof, there is a golden Dharma Wheel with a holy guardian animal on each side.
