　　As for a building I like, I would like to talk about a temple in my hometown.

　　The temple dates back to the 15th century. Today, a lot of people still go there to pray for good luck and good health. Interestingly, although it’s a holy place, it’s located on the one of busiest streets in my hometown.

　　But from the moment you enter the temple, you start to feel calm and peaceful. Like most historic buildings in the area, the temple faces south, and the front gate is guarded by two stone lions. As you enter the front hall, you will see four wood sculptures, which are called ‘the Four Heavenly Kings’.

　　The Great Hall is separated from the front hall with a courtyard where you can see lots of trees and plants. The roof of the Great Hall is supported by tall, thick columns. Inside it, you can see a Buddha statue and statues of his students.

　　The temple is well-preserved and in good condition. It attracts thousands of tourists each year. And it provides cultural activities as well, including traditional art classes. So besides being a place of worship, it’s also educational and fun.
