Stroll along the vermilion corridors and spot 108 exquisitely carved miniature Buddha statues on the beams - each with unique facial expressions! The Guanyin Bamboo Courtyard behind the pavilion will transport you back to Tang-Song era, where whisper of bamboo leaves blends with imagined chants of ancient monks.
