best time to go – during the week, early morning, sprint when the doors open.

I find the pre-Olympics repainting of the Temple of Heaven, Forbidden City Summer Palace, etc. to be so depressing. The physical aging of these monuments is as much a part of their history as the architecture itself.

I remember my husband and I in Canton, Guangzhou and it was pagoda after pagoda. I think we were chased out of one pagoda land *LOL* – erm, because some of the people we were with wouldn’t quit taking pictures. Ah well – tourists you know.

If you like to se different thing then I think you would love the place. It’s still relatively cheap to travel around as well.

rainfield – yes there are numerous temples around southwest china. True it is luck that these sites weren’t targted during the revolution. Good insights rainfield.
