About
Quick facts: Duke hyrë brenda tempullit, aroma e fortë e sandalit dhe aroma e drurit të vjetër përshkojnë menjëherë ajrin, i cili është i qetë dhe i ngrohtë. Ka një statujë të madhe prej sandali të gdhendur, me lartësi rreth 26 metra. Kur dielli përshkon dritaret dhe bie mbi statujën e Budës, ai shkëlqen me një dritë të ngrohtë dhe të artë.
Highlights: Pranë një peme të vjetër aronie në oborr, njerëzit shpesh lidhin shirita të kuq me dëshira të shkruara mbi ta. Shumë nga shirita janë më të gjatë se 3 metra dhe kur fryn era, ata kërcejnë duke shkaktuar një tingull të lehtë që duket si një pëshpërimë, duke krijuar një ritëm të dëshirave. Një zakon lokal është hedhja e monedhave të bronztë në një trarë të vogël fesë pranë. Nëse monedha godet skajin e trarit, besohet se dëshira realizohet brenda tre vjetësh. Tingulli i qartë i monedhës që godet nxit rrahjet e zemrës.
Insider tips
- Arrive at opening to avoid tour buses and to hear monks' morning prayers.
- Dress respectfully, cover shoulders, and wear comfortable shoes for stairs and cobbled courtyards.
- Use the south courtyard and main hall steps for the best photos of the Maitreya Buddha and swirling incense.
- Expect bag checks and short queues at security, so carry minimal belongings and buy tickets online or at a kiosk ahead of time.
