Temples in Second Life

taoist temple

above: A taoist↗ temple. Built by Naeko Michinaga.

Address: Montmartre (177,138,49)↗.

It's not clear to me what is the distinctive architectural feature of taoist temples vs Buddhist temples in China. In any case, this temple does look like a temple of China. Note the perfectly circular arch, and the red paper lanterns↗, the clover-shaped windows, and the redness, are all hallmarks of traditional Chinese architecture.

The most famous taoist temples is probably the Temple of Heaven↗. See also: Chinese architecture↗.

above: Samurai Island. Samurai Island (128,242,24)↗. Built by KatanaBlade Anu.

Samurai Island is a place where samurai gathers. Here, you can see many wearing and sparring with katanas (katana is a Japanese sword). Samurai Island has a website at: http://samurai.katanablade.net/. For photos of katana and other swords, see Second Life: Cutlasses and Blunderbusses.

A larger stupa can be found at SupportforHealing (173,96,67)↗.
