Songyang, China

Fawang Temple

Fawang Temple is a modern Chinese Buddhist monastery located 5 km northwest of the town of Dengfeng in Henan province, China. Situated at the bottom of the Yuzhu Peak of Mount Song, the monastery claims to be the descendant of the second Buddhist monastery constructed in China. However, the type of Buddhism espoused before the revolution was Chan, which had not yet evolved in the time of the monastery's legendary founding.
