Seven Hundred and Eighteen Steps





This temple was at the top of a mountain in Mai Salong. Although there were 718 stairs there was also a walk straight up the mountain before you got to the steps! It is almost always worth the walk. This temple was exquisite and the only one I've seen with stained glass. Inside it was an architectural dream and the views were unbeleivable. I just love Buddism. Outside the temple sitting on a bench right in front of a no smoking sign was a little old monk sitting with his legs crossed and enjoying a smoke! He was also preoccupied with chasing a little puppy around........
