Originally built around 1065, this temple in the centre of downtown Chongqing is the exact opposite of all the skyscrapers that surround it.

About Luohan Temple

Luohan Temple is a Buddhist temple right in the middle of the city. Surrounded by huge modern skycrapers and shopping malls, the building feels very much out of place as a small historic monument. But, despite that, it keeps it's charm. The surrounding walls act like a barrier - keeping the outside world out the second you walk in.

Head up the stairs to the second floor and the rooftop for a great angle for a photo.

If you have a DJI Mini, the spot looks fascinating from above, with the many angles and corners maknig the temple feel like a maze of a thousand layers.
