It seemed like a mystical, a mysterious place emerged in a forest in the Huairou, Beijing. I have never been here, but the architecture and and the floral decorations intrigued me. As we entered the temple garden, our group went straight to the pond near the entrance. The image below portrays the words ‘红螺泉’, meaning the Hong Luo pond. As you look closely into the image, you realize that the patterns are specifically designed to depict symbols of floral elements. I have not done extended research, but possibly this could be one of the most prominent components in Hongluosi. 
Apart from the drawings, I thought the architectural style was also unique and beautiful. I especially loved the tiles and how they are put together to form this curved shape. I believe the combination of the drawings and the roof tiles of the temples are what makes this buddhist temple garden unique.
The visuals were amusing, but it was not the most entertaining. Apart from wandering for hours under the scorching sun, there was little that we could do. However, we did try the rides that initially was supposed to bring us to the mountain top for better views, but the result was a disappointment, there was little that we saw once we arrived. Nonetheless, the ride was still fun, especially when we went back down. The image below is a snapshot that I took while I was on the ride up.
