A flamboyant mix of Ming and Qing architecture embellish one the most important Buddhist temples in the region, 1,200-year-old Yuantong Temple. A gentle descent amidst lush cypress trees leads to the picturesque scenery of highly decorated temples, small bridges, and a fusion of vibrant colors. In the midst of the green pond lies the temple shrine with a golden Buddha statue. See devotees bringing incense and candles while the sounds of monks echo through the complex. The pond thrives with multitudes of little turtles and frogs inhabiting the water. Use our Kunming tour itinerary planner to arrange your visit to Yuantong Temple and other attractions in Kunming.

Just arrived in Kunming by flight from Bangkok we catapulted into hostel. First stop Yuan Tong Temple. It's Sunday and the proximity to the zoo is felt. Atmosphere of a place of worship. We are the only Westerners around. The visit lasts longer than expected because it feels good. Stillness. People around sometimes pray sometimes chatting. There are secluded places.View original -
昆明の観光スポットはあまり多くありませんので,お寺を訪れるのもよいでしょう。入場料は6元です。仏教のお寺ですがなんとなくタイや東南アジアの仏教に似ている感じがしました。中はあまり広くはありません。 more »
