The Bamboo Temple, Kunming

The Bamboo Temple, Kunming

It was an adventure getting there, negotiating the buses and being left on the side of the road, over 6 km from our destination as the rickshaw driver decided he could not make it uphill. Luckily a monk driving past in a minibus pulled up and saved us the steep climb.

The Buddhist temple was worth the effort. Beautifully constructed and located in forest, ornate and spacious. Bamboo rooves, Bonsai plants in a paved and tree -filled courtyard. 

Th return trip was more successful with a little assistance  from Swiss travellers about buses.

We finally found the elusive Green Lake Park and the evening was spent there listening to brlliant musicians improvising and playing tradtional instruments, fusion music, dancing, singing and generally having a good time. I managed to record some of the music on my iPad. A truly wonderful experience.
