There is a wish hall in Jiuhuashan Dayuan Culture Park. It is currently the largest cultural and artistic exhibition center in Jiuhuashan. It needs to buy a ticket for 39 yuan. There are running water scriptures, panchang running water hall, etc. inside, showing the Tibetan culture and Buddhist culture and art.
