When visiting temples, avoid revealing clothing (e.g., shorts, sleeveless tops), maintain silence, and do not touch Buddha statues or ritual instruments. Photography without permission is prohibited, especially with flash. Refrain from eating, making noise, or sitting/lying casually in halls; women should avoid short skirts in main halls. At historic sites, never carve or climb on cultural relics, follow "No Entry" signs, respect conservation measures during restoration, and avoid using tripods or equipment that may touch relics when photographing—show reverence for cultural heritage.
