Huayan Temple of Chongqing

Reviewed By 777yesit - Mission, United States

It was beautiful, peaceful, and serene. We decided to eat with the monks, which was a nice experience. While we enjoyed the temple, what brought us were the blooming lotus flowers. It rained a little but the experience was still lovely. So beautiful! They gave me my favorite screen-savers! ☺♥♥♥♥
