A little disappointed cos the pictures were more of the monks and not many on the temple itself, except the temple on the outside. The pictures don't show much of what I expected to see of the Grand Temple. If it were not for the Title, I would take for granted like any other temple.作者: orchids 時間: 2010-3-15 12:38 AM
The temple is magnificent and splendid,the huge thousand hands Kwan-Yin statue here is a focus.The temple here is a place for marriage ceremony,from the pictures we can see the senior buddhist are leading the ceremony processing .
