A one of a kind I guess, this temple is for a king, this temple is different because it’s red and not the traditional yellow mustard colour.

This Buddhist Temple is I believe for Taoist practioners. It is very familiar to the untrained eye and that’s me of course, however it is different and apart from the decoration and main colour red I am unable to explain… Sorry!

But in saying that I believe it’s because it was built specifically for the Emperor and he decided to make a few aesthetic changes, and the results are amazing.

A lovely quiet place on the outskirts of Suzhou city near Yangcheng Lake which is well worth the visit to see another aspect of life.
