Xiamen
Xiamen or Xiamen Island is a relatively small city with nearly 4 million people. There are buses and cars, taxies and even ferries and even a handful of bridges that allow people coming in and out of the city to the neighboring ones. It even has an airport! It's considered one of the most romantic leisure city and ranked 2nd place for most suitable living in China. And its here in this city that the most famous temple resides. Nanputuo Temple. People from around the world come to walk around its beautiful lotus gardens and water ponds. The temple is free to go in but and there are monks walking around so people must be respectful when paying their respects to the many gods and goddesses that are worshiped here. I had to fortunate accident to meet a few monks and I was surprised that they spoke English...and well too! I had accidentally wondered into their living quarters (outdoor patio) section of the temple by a simple door that was not guarded by a temple worker...
