As someone who is always in awe of these very impressive roofs, I have to admit that I'm in for a treat here...

Extraordinary’ is not too strong a word to describe this magnificent temple on the mountain. Its turquoise roof, unusual for a temple, will leave you with unforgettable memories, and the marble Reclining Buddha is sumptuous.

I had the good idea of visiting this temple during the week when there were very few visitors, and the place was full of serenity.

What's more, it has a magnificent panoramic view. 5 stars is not enough!

To add to this superb ensemble, an incredible location high up on the mountain that allows you to admire the whole region...
