What travelers say:

Small destinations Japan Akagiyama Nishifuji Temple Here is a painting of Ishikawa Yundie 200 years ago in Japan, Ishikawa Yundie is known as "the Michelangelo after the Vietnam". Ishikawa Yundie lived in the Vietnamese country in the early 19th century, now Niigata Prefecture. After centuries of Michelangelo's masterpieces for the Sistine Chapel, Ishikawa also created similar masterpieces in the region's monasteries. Yundie is not only an accomplished painter, but also a master sculptor. Sifu Temple is a Buddhist monastery displaying the masterpieces of the cloud butterfly. Inside the temple's temple, the huge patio sculpture was his masterpiece, which took six years to complete and is widely regarded as his greatest work. This sculpture depicts the famous Tao Yuan Zen master encountering tigers in China. Surprisingly, this century-old Xifu Temple is quite intact. There are a large number of tourists visiting every day, but you need slippers when you enter the temple, and even the candlesticks are exquisite and clean. Even after 200 years, until today, I have seen those paintings and sculptures, and there is no trace of the years, and it is still beautiful and lifelike. Address: Dapu 174, Yumuma Temple, Niigata Prefecture, visit time: 9:00-15:40
