The daming Temple is a temple in which many scholars come to pray to the gods in heaven before their exams to pray for a good score. It is an area of spiritual beliefs which contains part of the Japanese culture in it too. The daming temple, although it was a place of prayers, it is also opened to the tourists to visit due to its nice scenery, being on a mountain. It also has a Buddhist pagoda, called the Xiling Pagoda within its walls. This pagoda was also opened to tourists to visit the top and to admire the scenery from the top of the pagoda. I find the daming temple an interesting place and would enjoy more time at the daming temple. It was a fascinating historical location as it's architecture was old but maintained. The place had a calm spiritual feel to it, it's history lasted all the way back to the Ming Dynasty. I feel that the daming temple is a good location for students to learn more about how Buddhism had improved the Sino-Jap cultural relationships. It was a very interesting place and I would like to give that place a visit again.
