Huáyán Monastery

About

Huáyán Monastery (华严寺), (On bus line 4 it is near the seventh stop from the train station). Closes 7pm. A large collection of Buddhist temples of the Huayan sect that can be seen in an hour or two. Unusually this monastery faces east, not south. Nice to hear chanting at the back (no photos). Completely rebuilt in 2010. At 80yuan a bit expensive really - If you like Buddhism (and mountain scenery, and have the time), save your money/time and head to Wutai Shan for slightly longer instead. 80 yuan full price. 40 yuan students. Disabled, military, 70yo+ free.
