As you wander through its ancient halls and courtyards, you'll discover intricate carvings, statues of arhats (Buddhist saints), and a peaceful atmosphere that seems worlds away from the modern city outside. Surrounded by towering buildings, Luohan Temple symbolizes Chongqing's ability to preserve tradition amidst transformation, blending the sacred with the urban in a uniquely harmonious way.
