Editorial Review

27 juillet 2007

A monolithic golden prayer wheel visible for kilometers around was installed in late 2002 on this hill in the old town. Starting in June 2005, the prayer wheel is lit up at night. The scripture chamber itself is pretty small and contains a large buddha statue. The prayer wheel can be turned with one very strong person, or a few people all at once. Remember to turn it clockwise. The hill provides a nice view of the old town, but if that's all you're looking for, you could walk up a different hill instead. 2007 saw the moving of the previous old town scripture chamber up on top of another hill in the old town and the construction of the much larger and flashier Guishan temple.

Not even really worth the admission price

The place is really small, and it's hard to argue that the giant prayer wheel has any cultural significance
