Forest of Dagobas
China, an East Asian country is one of the world’s oldest civilizations. It has a vast cultural history of more than five thousand years and an outstanding natural beauty. On the other hand, this country has remained a comparatively isolated and secluded one, and being a land of mystery, this country is not known to the western half of the world. However, China is rapidly developing and has grown in the phase of modernization, with an immense speed and is also welcoming the outer world to interact and do business with them.
Forest of Dagobas situated just northwest of Shaolin Temple is the Forest of Dagobas, a graveyard for Shaolin monks. It covers just about 14,000 square meters in area and is the largest of its kind in China. The cemetery contains around 250 brick and stone stupas of varying shapes from past dynasties and a few are inscribed with interesting calligraphy. This area is a burial ground for accomplished monks and abbots from the eighth century to the nineteenth.
The Dagobas differ greatly in height, size, age and in their cross section rectangular, square, hexangular, octagonal and circular, and these factors are a distinct sign of the hierarchical ranking of their particular occupants. Winter is in addition a good time to view the forest at a distance against the purple mountain.
Forest of Dagobas is definitely one of the popular tourist attractions in China. It is worth paying a visit while touring the country. This place will leave a pleasing and unforgettable memory and justify the proud cultural tradition of China.
