The winding of the roots and the persistence of the ancient temple became a stark contrast, and it also brought shock to the world. The photos of the shocking people in the Hollywood movie Tomb Raider are shot here, which is one of the reasons why many fans come to feel mysterious. Today's Tabu Cage Temple is still under the roots of the tree, and it is bound to be a fan of the century. Because the roots and the temple are closely combined, people can't protect the cultural relics, and they can't think of it. The method of wilting old trees and not damaging ancient temples can only see the deeper combination of the two...
