Fushimi Inari, Kyoto Japan<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Sacred<\/p>\n

Kyoto abounds with temples and shrines, including a number of the most impressive in the country; one such site is Fushimi Inari Taisha. Tucked away in southern Kyoto, this shrine instantly makes an impression with its striking pathways leading through thousands of vermilion torii<\/em> gates amidst the woodland of Mount Inari. The shrine is named after Inari the god of rice, with statues of foxes representing the belief that these are the god’s messengers.<\/p>\n

\"Sacred<\/p>\n

This 2,500-year-old Buddhist site is truly breathtaking with its glinting gold-plated and jeweled temples, stupas and statues that fill the sprawling sacred space. But this complex isn’t just worth visiting for its resplendent architecture and arts, it’s also at the heart of local life, with both monks and devotees meditating, worshipping and caring for the site.<\/p>\n

Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, Chiang Mai Thailand<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Sacred<\/p>\n

Often referred to as Doi Suthep, the name of the mountain this temple sits on, Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is among northern Thailand’s most sacred sites, with the beauty to match. Displaying the graceful architecture that’s typical to this region, the temple complex features abundant ornate detail, including a white elephant shrine, which reflects the monastery’s 14th<\/sup>-century origin.<\/p>\n

\"Sacred<\/p>\n

There aren’t many temple complexes better known across the globe than Angkor Wat. Not only is it the world’s biggest religious site \u2013 covering over 160 hectares, as a part of the greater 400 square-kilometre Angkor area \u2013 it’s also remarkably captivating with both its history and crumbling beauty. Originally constructed as a Hindu temple for the Khmer Empire, Angor Wat became a Buddhist temple in the late 12th<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n

\"Sacred<\/p>\n

A short journey away from Colombo, Kelaniya Rajamaha Viharaya temple is home to a sacred stupa where Buddha is said to have preached on the eighth year following enlightenment. For this reason, it has been one of Sri Lanka’s most revered pilgrimage sites for many centuries, and preserved over time by a number of the country’s kings.<\/p>\n
