A temple dedicated to the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy. The original building dates back to 1397, the current building that we see today was built in 1955 after a monk burned it down. The upper floors of the building are covered with gold-leaf and the roof is topped with a Bronze Phoenix.
It is a beautiful temple set in a serene setting. The landscaping is almost as impressive as the temple. Of all our stops, this was the busiest. What you don’t see is the chaos going on behind the camera. It was difficult to get a spot to take pictures.
