There are five religions in China: Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Protestantism and Catholicism, but Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are the three cultural practices most significant.There are also various ethnic minority groups in China who maintain their traditional autochtone religions.

It is like an escape from the stress of the town, a breath of fresh air in the chaos and the pollution. This place is really both relaxing and soothing.
