World Heritage Monuments

Though I have been here for two weeks, I have yet to visit the World Heritage Site that people came from far and wide to visit. These shrines have been here for about 150 years and they are so intricate in their designs. However, the ones I found most interesting is the three monkeys. Probably the reason why monkeys are so famous around this area.

Interesting sculpture

An interesting hall that you get to hear the sound of the dragon vibrating through the hall when the bell was sounded

Its amazing how tranquil the whole area is even though it was overrun by tourists
