Trip to the Love Temple

Ok, this is a nice temple located adjacent to the Kunming Zoo. It's a nice, peaceful place to get off the street and take a little walk.

Why do I call it the Love Temple? Well, it seems each temple has a particular function. If what I heard is correct, this temple is for helping you find love. Hm. We'll see.


You'd better believe it! I mean, where would we be if we all just ran around willy-nilly, offering incense uncivilly?! The whole society would break down I'm sure.
Here is the bridge across to the temple, fronted by the big urn where you offer your incense with civility.
Hey, this is a pretty nice temple! Kinda small, but purty.
As you can see, the temple is situated in the middle of a pond. The pond is chock-full of carp and turtles. Turtles are very lucky! Really, this place is beautiful.
Here's another building in the compound. The tile roofs are just really cool. See below for a detail of the dragon cornice pieces!
Ooooh. Aaaaaah.
Hey buddy, do ya mind? I'm trying to chant over here!
Just another cool spot for meditative thought.
