Stop no. 12 on the Loople bus. I was quite excited on arrival as i have seen many beautiful pictures of this place. However, the direct view of the colourful architecture of the main shrine was obstructed by a tent, which appears to be made...More

This is a nice walk from the bus stop to the shrine. Enjoyed a good walk up the long staircase to the shrine and enjoyed the nature of beauty.
