Spring & Autumn Pavilions 春秋閣 ...


Two massive pavilions dedicated to 

Kuan Kung (the God of War),
named "the Spring and Autumn Pavilions" 
were completed in 1951. 
...
According to legend, Guanyin (the Goddess of Mercy)
appeared above the clouds riding on a dragon, 
signifying that believers must erect an image 
depicting this event between pavilions of summer and autumn: 
The present-day structures are a result of this vision.
