As the saying goes, "Famous mountains have long been occupied by monks," and the tours of temples are often combined with visits to scenic mountains and rivers, allowing you to fully appreciate the transcendent spiritual essence of Buddhism that goes beyond worldly desires and the act of saving all sentient beings. In recent years, with the implementation of policies on religious belief in China, the rise of religious cultural undertakings, and the extensive renovation of related religious venues and buildings, the growing prosperity of people's living standards has led to an increased demand for spiritual fulfillment. As a result, religious cultural tourism has been gaining momentum in China. To meet the practical needs of travelers, this series combines religious culture with leisure tourism, divided into four series: Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, and Christianity. Each volume provides a three-dimensional introduction to temples (Buddhist temples, Taoist temples, mosques, and churches) from various regions, covering history, architecture, cultural relics, religious figures, and surrounding attractions. Additionally, it includes relevant information on transportation, accommodation, and shopping. This series fills the gap in the publication of similar books in China and is another important part of the themed self-guided tour series. It is characterized by high quality, offering great cultural value for collection and appreciation, as well as practical value for leisure and tourism.
