Om
Hurtige fakta: Placeret på stille vand skaber et netværk af teaktræsplatforme og buede træpavilloner fornemmelsen af at gå gennem en svævende tempelhave. Farverige helligdomme malet i rød og guld står ved siden af lotusdamme og udskårne søjler og tiltrækker både stille meditationsudøvere og fotografer, der dvæler for lyset.
Højdepunkter: Omkring 108 små olielamper står ofte langs gangstierne under aftenbøn, deres refleksioner formerer sig på vandet og bader omgivelserne i varmt, gyldent lys. En lav bronze klokke slås tre gange før hver sang, den resonante tone ruller gennem platformene og inviterer til pludselig stilhed blandt besøgende.
Insidertips
- Wear shoulders- and knees-covering clothing and be prepared to remove shoes and socks before stepping onto the platforms.
- Stand on the eastern terrace for sunrise shots or the western side for warm late-afternoon reflections on the water.
- Avoid weekends and major Buddhist holidays when local worshippers swell numbers, aim for weekday mornings.
- Carry a small towel after rain, the wooden walkways can be slippery and damp.
