Yu Feng Temple

Located on the mountain side of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain,the Monastery is quite remote,no public transportaion but only taxi can take you there.
It's one of the five Lama Monasteries in Lijiang,and the highlight of this monastery
is that there's a 500 years old huge Camelia tree,it's said it's the oldest and biggest
Camellia tree in the world,even 200 years older than the monastery.
The 93 year-old Naduo Lama,who came to the monastery at his 14,devotes all his life time to take care of the tree.Thanks to him,the holy Camellia tree survived during the Culture Revolution,as he risked his own life to stop the Red Guard from destroying the tree.

Entrance ticket RMB25/PP + Preservation charge of Lijiang old town RMB80/PP at the editing time.

Yu Feng Temple(玉峰寺), Fu Guo Temple(福国寺), Pu Ji Temple(普济寺),Wen Feng Temple(文峰寺) and Zhi Yun Temple(指云寺) are five famous La Ma Temples in Lijiang.

I never been to La Ma Temple before, it was totally different feelings compare to Buddhism Temple, but i can`t tell the exactly feel what it is.
