We have taken a tour inside, let’s take a look outside the temple now. There is a small garden next to the temple. The walking path was made using what seemed like broken pieces of bricks put together and wood. They also used wood to create the space for plantations instead of using pots. These features in the garden really bring out mother nature.

And do look at how they transformed wood piles to a masterpiece. I think this staircase is just simply artistic and creative!

I just can’t resist not to have a picture taken with this fine piece of work.

Here is a photo of both of us with the staircase as our background.

We came to this garden from the back of the temple. If we were to go in from outside, I guess this would be the main entrance. The name of the garden was carved in Chinese words on a big rock. It says Shen2Nong2Yao4Yuan2, which means God Farmer Medicine Farm if translated directly. I think it meant to say that it is a special garden for herbs plantations to cure illnesses.

From this angle, we can see bamboo bush again, a small pergola and a round table with some benches made of wood.

This is a picture of us taken with the rock at the garden entrance as our background.

This is the round table and the benches made of wood.

And the bamboo bush.

Opposite the herb garden is a small hill called Le4Sheng4Lv4Yuan2, the Robson Green Land, if I’m not mistaken. There are steps up the hill so we decided to do some exploration.

The path up was quite alright except the mosquito attacks. When we got up, this was what we saw. It was more or less like a wood.

Then, we saw this sign stating the name of the place, which is Robson Green Land, further up the hill but there were no visible paths or tracks for us to go up and it seemed a bit risky to explore so we gave up and went down the hill to venture into other areas.

This is the path at the back of the temple which leads to the herb garden and a tortoise pond. The path is fenced with bamboo. They have also made a small opening using bamboos. Most of the decorations here are so naturally made.

Towards the end of the path, crosses the road, and you’ll find Robson Green Land.

On one of the trees, we found some orange-greenish moss.

On the way down the path, the small opening that I talked about just now leads to a space where there are trees and they make up a habitat for chickens.
Hope you like the post today. Do stay tune for more interesting upcoming posts. ![]()
