This is a nice place to spend a day. Apart from the Church there are some smaller chapels and niches with statues of Mary. If you have the opportunity to go there in May do so. This is the time when pilgrims from all over China come here to worship (May is apparently the month didicated to Mary), which is interesting to see. On the mountain there is also a Chinese pagoda and a fun fair. Try to enter through the back door, and not through the main entrance, in order to avoid the steep entrance fee! View Details
