On the western slope of Mount Feilai in China sits the oldest Zen temple in all of southeastern China, the Sanctuary of the Soul, founded by the Indian monk Hui Li in as far back as 326. During the 16 centuries of its existence, this Chinese landmark has undergone a lot of destruction and rebuilding - history has preserved data on its twelve major reconstructions. The present-day structures, as they appear today, were built in the 17th century during the Qing dynasty. According to one legend about the temple, a monk named Hui Li was so impressed by the beauty of the site that he considered it a "sanctuary for the saints. Hence the name of the sanctuary founded there, the Sanctuary of the Soul.

Shaolin Monastery is the oldest Buddhist shrine and world-famous attraction in China, located in Henan Province, in an unusually beautiful setting of forests and mountains. The place has kept its sacred spirit for a long time, since in the 5th century A.D. a Taoist temple was founded there, which was occupied by the supporters of Buddhism during the period of religious oppression. By this time, Buddhism had already taken a strong position in the north of China, and this contributed to the founding of new monasteries.

Hong Kong is a city on the south coast of China, situated on more than 260 islands and with its own special social, economic and political status. Today it is also a major financial and business center that plays a leading role on the world stage. Hong Kong is of great value in terms of tourism, because the Western way of life here is closely intertwined with the oldest traditions of the people, and ultra-modern skyscrapers, propping up the clouds with their roofs, contrast with the simple village houses.

In China's Sichuan Province, near the city of Leshan, a huge sculpture of Buddha 71 meters high is carved directly into the rock, one of the world's oldest sculptures. The sight of China in the form of a giant Buddha is located at the confluence of three rivers, whose oncoming streams form dangerous whirlpools. According to legend, a lot of local residents and fishermen were killed in these streams, so the monk Hai Tung decided to tame the elements by carving the image of the deity in the rock. In 713, he began work, but over the years he only managed to carve a giant statue of Buddha to his knees, and later the work was continued by the monk's followers, and about a century later the statue was ready.
