Photos of Yuantong Temple

Yuantong Temple is located in the middle section of Yuantong Street in Kunming City, adjacent to Kunming Zoo. It is one of the famous and ancient Buddhist temples in Kunming. The temple has been in existence for 1,200 years and has enjoyed a high reputation in history. It is also very large in scale now, and it is very famous in the southwest and southeast Asia. The monastery is located at the foot of the mountain, but it is not built on the mountain, but the lower the terrain as it goes inward, which is very rare in monasteries. The whole monastery is like a garden, with green hills in the back and green ponds in the yard. With the exquisite ancient buildings, the photos taken are very beautiful. What's particularly exciting is that it incorporates Chinese Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism and Southern Buddhism schools from Southeast Asia, and the architecture also has these various characteristics. The monastery has a high status in the southwest region and Southeast Asia, and many pilgrims come to pray every day. If you come here on the first and fifteenth day of the new year, there will be grand Buddhist activities in the monastery, which are very lively.
