Flowers for the Chinese Goddess Guanyin.
The Phoenix Mountain Temple, in the Bao’an District of Shenzhen, China, dates to the 1200s. The temple is dedicated to Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy. She was orginally a Taoist deity. but was adopted by the Buddhists when they spread their message to China during the 4th and 5th century.
The Temple and mountain-top hiking trails feature a spectacular view of the surrounding area.
