Xiolan

Pictures from Xiolan, part of Zhongshan. It's a 30 min bus ride from Guzhen to Xiolan but a totally different world.

Here are pictures from the flower festival, the chrysanthemum festival that takes place in late November to early December.








Pagoda




Just down from the pagoda is a beautiful goldfish pond where you can feed them








The Monastery in Xiolan was absolutely stunning!






They had a lot of fruit offerings round and about


It was amazing, the walls were covered in little buddhas that were each individually lit. It was pretty spectacular to say the least.








This was behind the front display of three giant buddhas. It shocked me how many there were
