Baotong Temple is now situated almost entirely on the hillside- quite an impressive feat. It is fairly difficult to see the Temple from afar, hidden as it is almost entirely behind heavy vegetation.
This is a fairly representative and classic Chinese Buddhist temple, consisting of a Grand Hall, Meditation Hall and the Abbots Hall. There are also two gargantuan iron bells here, almost 900 years old, dating back to the Southern Song Dynasty.
