People according to individual wishes to choose different flowers, from the beginning of the entrance, lotus cannot fall to the ground, otherwise it is holy. The most interesting is, there are a lot of Monkey Temple, around the temple to run, this is influenced by the temple bells somewhat convergent only, but they are still very naughty, down to eat the best lotus, believers see not only angry, but very happy.
