Fotou Temple

Fotou Temple was built in the Song Dynasty. It is 50km away from the nearest town. Mountains surround all four sides of the temple. The structure of the Fotou Temple shares the same feature of the architecture from the Song Dynasty. There used to be other buildings in the temples. Due to war and revolution, they were destroyed. The building on the photo is the only buildings remained. 

Fotou Temple means the temple of the Buddha's head. The reason why it has this name is because the mountains on the back looks alike to a stylized Buddha.
