It’s been a while since I saw a temple that I liked as much as this. It is calm and peaceful. There is the pagoda but the surrounding buildings is worth a visit as well. During my visit, right before lunchtime, it was not at all crowded. There was some constructions around the area and around one building on the temple grounds, but there are plenty of buildings to go around so that’s no biggie! The city gate is close by and you’ll pass some interesting genuine “old” Chinese quarters on your way, just keep your eyes open!
