Dong Fang Mountain and Temple

After a short bus ride and hike up Dong Fang Mountain today we arrived at a Buddist Temple. The temple is over 1000 years old and is currently inhabited by about 100 monks. Despite its age, it is very much in use and that was easily seen by the new buildings everywhere as well as the construction workers walking around. It was quite an impressive sight and the area contained many buildings, each more interesting the the previous. Although I wish I could write more, I know so little about the temple or the history and most of the time we were all just walking around. I was pretty amazed at what I was seeing and the amount of work and history exhibited by the temple.
