No where is safe from the tourist hordes...one year you can have somewhere to yourself and the next it's on the must-see list for Chinese tourists. Bet if Chlid is back in a couple of years his last few days would be shared with a few thousand 'friends'
Pleased that it helped and you scored the BEP Kai :t:
500+ tourists, wow ! No more than 20 max at any one time whilst I was there.
Wasn't this part of the "Golden Week" holiday - or was that all before the first? I guess any temple may have some "big" days due to the religious calendar as well?

Religious calendar? Next to no such thing in all but neighbouring provinces to HK, everything else government holidays people make use of to do things. Nothing religious about it.
Is it a Buddhist temple? Doesn't the temple (and adherents) have particular celebrations for special days? (Or is it a daoist temple?) Of course "golden week" (Oct. 1st holiday) is not at all religious - sorry I didn't separate those ideas more clearly.
I think the reason is it is the golden week... the monks there told me just few days ago there are not more more than 15+ person visit the temple per day.
BTW:It is interesting Xuanzhong Temple is improtant to Buddhism in Japan...Pure Land patriarch.
