Baolin Buddhist Temple

This is a wonderfully unique and stunningly beautiful temple, in Changzhou in China. The temple is shaped like a giant pineapple, encrusted with thousands of miniature, golden Buddha’s which adorn the outer building, and also the inside walls. The colors of the statue inside and the light coming from the sealing, are sublime with pinks, purples, gold, and turquoise. There are white, stone carvings of dragons surrounding/ protecting the temple and leading up the stairs to the main entrance. The surrounding river is bursting with lotus plants and the trees cascade along the bank. The temple is peaceful, just off the bustling main city, and is a fantastic place to visit due to it’s serenity and it’s distinct and truly unique architecture.
