RE: My journey to the northernmost Buddhist temple in the world - 📸- Datsan Gunzechoinei
the Buddhist temple was looted and rare archival documents were lost forever, the library of the monastery was destroyed.
That's very sad @madlenfox but I'm glad to see they seem to have recovered.
Did you try the cuisine when you were there? 😊
No, we didn't stay for dinner. It was too hot a day and I just wanted to drink a lot of water. Their traditional food looked too high in calories for such a hot day. Maybe in the winter I would try something there :)
Let me know if you do @madlenfox. I would be interested to hear what it's like! 😊
@gillianpearce, I will definitely share this impression. I saw some interesting national dishes there. I think they're worth a try :)
How long does it take you travel to the temple @madlenfox?
It's just a little bit of time. This weekend we went to one of the Islands in the Neva Delta and on the way we decided to look into this unique place. Although it is located within the city, but its location is not too convenient because of the intense traffic flow. Therefore, it is best to get there by car. We spent more than three hours in the monastery.
Ah. I see, so it's quite handy then @madlenfox. I thought I could see the city in the background! 😊
