Colorful Asian Temples

Vibrant images of Asian temples adorned with red lanterns and intricate decorations. Features Buddhist and Chinese architectural elements, showcasing cultural heritage.

The Mu's were an influential Muslim family during the Ming Dynasty. They were responsible for protecting the empire's borders in Southwest China. The Naxi or Nakhi are an ethnic group inhabiting the foothills of the Himalayas in the northwestern part of Yunnan Province, as well as the southwestern part of Sichuan Province in China. The Naxi are thought to have come originally from Tibet and, until recently, maintained overland trading links with Lhasa and India. The Naxi form one of the 56 ethnic groups officially recognized by the People's Republic of China. The Naxi are traditionally followers of the Dongba religion. Through both Han Chinese and Tibetan cultural influences, they adopted Tibetan Buddhism and, to a lesser extent, Taoism, in the 10th century. The Old Town of Lijiang dates back more than 800 years and was once an important town on the old Tea Horse Road.

Tainan is the oldest city in Taiwan. The town was initially established by the Dutch East India Company as a ruling and trading base called Fort Zeelandia during the period of Dutch rule on Taiwan. After Dutch colonists were defeated by Koxinga in 1661, Tainan remained as the capital of the Tungning Kingdom until 1683 and afterwards the capital of Taiwan prefecture under the rule of the Qing Dynasty until 1887, when the new provincial capital was moved to Taipei. Koxinga (Lord of the Imperial Surname) is the customary Western spelling of the popular appellation of Zheng Chenggong, a Chinese military leader who was born in 1624 in Hirado, Japan to Chinese merchant/pirate Zheng Zhilong and his Japanese wife, and died in 1662 on the Island of Formosa (Taiwan). A Ming loyalist and the chief commander of the Ming troops on the maritime front for the later emperors of the withering dynasty, Koxinga devoted the last 16 years of his life to resisting the conquest of China by the Manchus.

The Marble Mountains comprise five limestone and marble hills near Da Nang in central Vietnam. Each mountain is named after one of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The mountains feature a network of tunnels, caves, grottoes, and Buddhist sanctuaries that attract both religious pilgrims and casual tourists. Over the centuries, monks and artisans have hand-carved intricate statues, pagodas, and altars from the naturally occurring marble within the formations. The Marble Mountains stand as a testament to the region's rich cultural and spiritual history. Da Nang, Vietnam.

By the 19th century, with the introduction of cheap steamship travel and declining conditions in China itself, a steady trickle of Chinese migrants to Thailand became a flood. Chinese coolies (from the Chinese ku-li, or 'bitter labour') sought new lives and a higher standard of living throughout Southeast Asia and beyond - even in distant California, Southern Africa and South America. It is from this time that the term 'Overseas Chinese' becomes common, though in the case of Thailand, Burma, Laos and Vietnam it is misleading. Here there are many 'Overland Chinese' as well. As a result of this great influx of Han migrants, Bangkok - like Ho Chi Minh City, Yangon, Jakarta and of course Singapore - became increasingly Chinese cities. During the 19th century the best estimates indicate that the Chinese minority in Thailand grew from about 200,000 to nearly 800,000, or from less than 5% to almost 10% of the total. The contribution which these Chinese migrants made to the development of mode

The Kaiyuan Temple is a Buddhist temple originally constructed in 738 CE during the Tang Dynasty (618 - 907). Chaozhou is believed to have been founded more than 1700 years ago. The town reached its zenith during the Ming era and was well known as a place of great culture as well as an important commercial and trading centre. Teochew dialect, by which the Chaozhou culture is conveyed, is one of the most conservative Chinese dialects because it preserves many contrasts from ancient Chinese that have been lost in some of the other modern dialects of Chinese.

The present temple was originally built by clan members in the Tong'an District (同安) who immigrated to Taipei in the early 19th century and gave the temple the name Bao'an (保安) in order to 'protect those of tong'an' (保佑同安). The temple construction commenced in 1804 and replaced a previously existing wooden shrine from 1742 in Dalongdong.
