Miaohou Temple

#chinatravel Miaohou Temple was a quiet and unexpected discovery during our journey tucked away from main roads and tourist trails, it felt more like a place for locals and pilgrims than sightseers. The temple’s aged walls and faded eaves held a kind of weathered grace, as if they had withstood time not with grandeur, but with quiet perseverance. There weren’t many visitors when we arrived, which only added to the temple’s sense of stillness. As we explored the small courtyards and simple halls, we noticed the care in the details: incense coils slowly burning above worn altars, prayer flags fluttering slightly in the breeze, and handwritten blessings pinned to wooden boards. The temple didn’t impress with size or scale, but with a calm sincerity. It felt like a place that had seen centuries of footsteps, worries, and hopes and gently held them all. We lingered longer than we thought we would, drawn in by the hush, the history, and the sense of something quietly enduring. #travel #china
