Once again I am in Kyoto

From 2009-05-09 Huizhi to Kyoto


Normally, one would only visit a tourist spot once or twice, definitely not more than than because it is a waste of money and nothing changes much as well. In my case, I have been in Kyoto almost every 3 months, this time round was because my Singaporean friend came over to Osaka for a short trip (just 2 days), so I decided to bring her around the famous Kiyomizudera (清水寺).

Kiyomizudera (清水寺), also known as pure water temple is one of the most famous temple in Kyoto and part of UNESCO Heritage sites. The special feature of this temple is the wood structures that hold the whole area of the temple, without using a single nail !! Amazing ?



Apparently, everyone is trying to grab a chance to wash their hands and drink the holy water... The queue was too long that day, we gave it a pass. Anyway, I would give it a pass everytime I visit Kiyomizudera !



While we are on our way out of Kiyomizudera, we saw this group of cute "ducklings" with their yellow caps.
