Setting out from Cangxi county, passed through Jialingjiang River Bridge and made a right turn, after less than one kilometer's way, we arrived Linjiang temple, the ancient temple opposite the county. As approach, we saw what surrounded the temple were mountain and river, and the mountain was covered by lush bamboos and ancient trees. Entering the gate, we ascent the stairs from the left cliff, made a west turn and arrived the second floor of the temple. In the middle of this floor was Ciyun Pavilion, in which there seated the figure of the Bodhisattva Guanyin, and on both of whose sides seated Linggongdian Hall and Sangongdian Hall. In front of the halls, the stone gallery was a winding path leading to a secluded place suggesting that we had to bow down our heads. After that, we started our trip from another direction that we passed through Daguan Pavilion inscribed with words of overlooking the landscape as well as through the stone arch inscribed the words of a place of unique beauty, followed by zigzagging down the stone pavement, finally we arrived the yard of the temple. |
