Red walls and white snow, I met the legendary heavenly palace in Taiyuan

❄️ After the snow, the Longquan Temple on Mount Tai in Taiyuan, with white snow and red walls, ancient cypress trees, and the temple hidden among them, looks like a heavenly palace, which is not easy to see without climbing up❗️

At this moment, the encounter between ancient buildings 🏯 and snow is the romance of the East🥰
