A 100-year-old Bodhi tree

Recently, I found a blog entry, it was about a 100-year-old Bodhi tree. In the blog, it mentioned that the Bodhi tree is located on a good fengshui location. So I did not want to miss out the opportunity to see this rare 100-year-old Bodhi tree, I got my friend to go along with me.

As my friend and I was about to enter the temple main entrance, there was a man standing right behind the entrance welcomed us. He even explained to us the temple origin and etc. I guess the man was either a temple helper or temple management staff. Anyway, we did not arrange any appointment with the temple management prior to our visit, we were rather surprised that the temple would provide such an "extra service".

After the man left us, another lady came and greeted us with 2 cups of plain water, she even brought us around the temple. Here are the photos on the temple:


Jin Long Si 金龙寺 , that is the name of the temple. Direct translation from Jin Long will be Golden Dragon.

The name on the metal plate looks rather unique from this angle.

This way please, to the 100-year-old Bodhi tree.

The Bodhi tree's position is located on a "hill top" that overlook the Bartley Road.
