Luohan Temple

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.

Luohan Temple was founded during the Song dynasty from 960 to 1279 AD and is situated in south Chongqing just off Minzu Lu. This temple has an oddly elaborate passageway, which is lined with statues carved into the wall and leads to the main temple complex where over five hundred carvings of Luohan or Buddhist saints can be seen.

Luohan Temple 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.
