Upper left: Small Ganto = (It is called the Small Ganto because it is smaller than the Large Ganto). Both are buildings peculiar to Buddhism in the Tang dynasty, and Buddhism is a symbolic monument that was introduced to the Zhongyuan region and fused with Han culture. Jianfu Temple is written on the top of the small ganto, which is another name for the small ganto.
Upper right: Nagawa = The Yellow River, which flows around Xi’an, is about 100 km. The letters written next to it are the Hansaka Archaeological Museum, which was discovered as a village of primitive people in the suburbs of Xi’an.
Bottom two: Mt. Li = Mountains around Xi’an. Yang Guifei has a favorite Hua Qing Pond, the place where the “Xi’an Incident” occurred.
It will be a distant view of the mountain and the scenery at the foot of the mountain.
