The Cold Mountain Temple,Suzhou,China

The Cold Mountain Temple was first built between 501 and 519 in the Liang Dynasty.It was perhaps the poem entitled "Mooring by Maple Bridge at Night" by Zhang Ji ,a Tang poet, that made the temple a widely known tourist attraction in the world. It is a popular belief that if the temple bell is tolled 108 times at midnight on the New Year's Eve in China's lunar calendar , then all earthly worries can be done away with and a good future ensured.
