Tibetan Mountain Temple, nestled by the mountains, the scenery is set in place, with pavilions and temples arranged in a scattered and elegant manner, with extraordinary grace. On the halfway up the mountain, there is a "Dressing Tower", also known as the "Flying Rock Tower". The eaves of this tower are closely attached to each other, forming a double-layered wooden tower that is elegant and magnificent, with unique architecture. It lies horizontally on the cliff of the halfway up the mountain, as if it has descended from the sky, making it quite extraordinary and perilous.
