The architecture of the temple and the landscape around can definitely compete with the other temples I've been in Asia..nothing compares to the exemplary and quintessence Chinese culture on the structures of this Taoist temple found atop the private village of Beverly Hills. The only inconvenient part of going here, aside from the distance, is the only mode of transportation... More

This is a beautiful temple - a place for meditation and prayers. But it attracts a lot of tourists mainly because of how the structure looks. I have been here thrice over the span of nine (9) years and I must say that it is maintained well. You have to hire a private vehicle or cab to get here as... More

It is a place worth some photo ops if not to also get up close to the rich and famous. There are no direct jeeps going to the temple so better get a taxi to bring you there are back. The place can also be a good spot for uphill training for those into running.
