Temple of 10000 Buddhas - PHOTOGRAPHER COMMENT

Virtual tour taken inside the Temple of 10,000 Buddhas. Apparently there are over 13,000 Buddha images which line the walls of the temple. They are all tiny, and set in small alcoves around the temple. In the middle of the temple is a kind of Buddha shrine with some larger idols. Around this are 6 conical platforms also containing small Buddhas.
