I thought it was a really nice temple. You could feel it in the atmosphere. The incense burning added to the feel. I like how they are preserving the temple and making it last. The cranes were a nice touch. One of my favorite parts was the detail on the wooden sculptures, especially on the entrance gate. It was neat to see.
