The engine hums as your driver eases the van onto a narrow mountain road; trees lean close like curious neighbors and the air cools as the city recedes. After roughly two hours you arrive beneath sheer limestone cliffs drilled with dozens of Buddha carvings—faces caught in sunlight, cliffs spilling toward a seasonal cascade that gives the temple its English name, White Waterfall.
