I had visited this temple before the Covid-19 pandemic.

It is said that the prayer wheel is manifestation of Buddha and Bodhisattvas. Turning clockwise, its merits are incredible. It can eliminate bad karma and become good luck.

This walkway was very ancient and original architectural design. It was mainly built with bamboo leaves and wooden material. Walked under the roof made of bamboo leaves, I felt particularly shady.

Unexpectedly, I saw this red powderpuff flower, Calliandra tergemina ver.emarginata in this temple garden. Surprise!

Walking along the aisle, we came to another area which’s Bamboo Forest, and also called Top Holy Place for Meditation.

Next to the main entrance gateway, there was a tea house where people can sit and enjoy the tranquillity and relaxing of bamboo forest.

There was an aisle connecting Putuo Village and Bamboo Forest, which’s a three-step worship path. The meaning of three-step worship is to make Buddhists repent of their past bad karma, encourage Buddhists to be motivated positively. It also is one of worship activities during Buddha Birth. This aisle is quite sloping and physically exhausting. It seems that only devoted believers will do three-steps worship here.

When I walked into bamboo forest, I saw the golden stupa and tall bamboo trees.
