View of the Hall of Five Hundred Arhats at Hualin Temple, also known as the Temple of the Five Hundred Gods or Geniis. The hall is lined with several statues of monks. At the crossing of the hall is a small statue of a seated Buddha on a pagoda-like altar. Also visible are two straw circular disks, possibly praying mats, set against the brick walls.
