Haihui Monastery, Heshan

Haihui Monastery offers a fascinating glimpse of the monastic life for those wanting to get up in the early morning to appreciate it. It sits in the foothills of the Dayan Mountain (大雁山), and comprises a complex of imperial-style structures with yellow tile roofs. The gentle rhythms of morning bells, afternoon drums, and incessant chanting of devotees is soothing. Tougher types can hike about 300 meters to the Century Pagoda (纪元塔), which has great views of the countryside.
