About "Chinese Pilgrimage"

In 1983, the Chinese government made a list of the "142 key Buddhist Temples in the Han Area of China."

I learned of the list in summer of 2009, and have been visiting them during my holidays ever since.

I have now visited 132 of the 142, with plans to visit the remainder soon.

This page features images and brief descriptions from my "epic" three-year journey(s) to these sometimes exquisite, always interesting temples.
