Teave
Kiired faktid: Monks' chants and swirling incense fill the courtyards, while an octagonal seven-story tower punctuates the skyline and shelters a gilded Buddha. Legendary tales of a celestial messenger still draw curious visitors who linger over delicate lacquerwork and gleaming mosaics that flash when the sun hits them.
Esiletõstmised: Climb the seven-tiered octagonal tower at dawn, breathe in thick incense and river mist while monks strike a 1,200-kilogram bronze bell whose low, rolling tone once signaled royal ceremonies. Behind the main hall a lacquered wooden turtle holds coins and dried lotus petals in a quirky local practice, elders say rubbing its shell brings safer river crossings for fishermen and pilgrims.
