We had to announce our presence with the ringing the 5 foot, 3 ton brass Peace Bell. It sounds a message of calm and peace. We then went into the temple to see the 9 foot Lotus Buddha. It is the largest wooden Buddha carved and covered in gold and lacquer. The bridge that we crossed in front of the temple is the bridge used in filming Lost's engagement scene between Jin and Sun.
The temple is the middle of a cemetery. It is customary to leave the favorite foods of the deceased at their final resting places. We saw apples, beer, McDonald's hamburgers, etc on various cemetery headstones.
