#chinatravel #july2025 #discoverchina
Tucked beside the famed Shaolin Temple, the Pagoda Forest (Talin) is a solemn, almost otherworldly grove of ancient brick and stone towers—each a tomb, each a tribute. These pagodas, built across dynasties for high-ranking monks, vary in shape and size, standing like a silent assembly of spiritual guardians.

More than a cemetery, it’s a living archive of Chinese Buddhist architecture, sculpture, and faith. Intricate carvings, fading inscriptions, and moss-kissed surfaces whisper stories of devotion and legacy. In the hush of this sacred forest, time seems to bow its head.
