Tang Dynasty
Tang Dynasty is a very important era in Chinese history. It was regarded by historians as the strongest empire in the world, during the eighth century. It’s capital, Chang’an was the center of trade and culture. Tang was the golden age of politics, economics, military affairs, literature and arts, and foreign relations.
Buddhism flourished during the Tang period, becoming thoroughly sinicized and a permanent part of Chinese traditional culture. Often characterized as the golden age of Buddhist art, the Tang Dynasty saw the full flowering of Chinese Buddhist arts, both in sculpture and in painting.

beautiful temple for a very special tooth.
Your photos are bright and sharp in color.
I remember back in 1990′s there was Tang Dynasty Theme Park in Singapore. We could enjoy ancient Chinese architectures, outdoor and indoor acrobatic performances, and traditional dance.
Your photos are beautiful, and the information is great. Happy New Year!
That is one awesome and impressive building!
Well shot!
If we have followed history, Tang Dynasty produced the greatest number of poems in the China history.

I have always loved that kind of architecture. beautiful spots.
Very intricate and just lovely.
Those shapes and colors of the roofs are so appealing! They sure knew how to “do” design. Great capture of the geometry too.
