merit: the so-called merit refers to the money you donate to the temple to support the three treasures. You can donate it or not. There is no guarantee for the bottom and no cap for the top. You don't need to change a lot of change or coins to bring it. Each temple only needs to put money in a merit box.

Buddhism: You can ask the monks in the temple to do related Buddhism for you, such as extending the Buddha's life, passing the Buddha's life, opening the light, setting fire to the mouth, and performing land and water ceremonies. The cost ranges from thousands to hundreds of thousands.

Shopping: You can ask Buddha statues, beads, amulets, Yu Pei, etc. to take home, and you can also choose to take home some local products and handicrafts of Jiuhuashan in the shop.
