寺 (sì): Buddhist temple; mosque; government office (old)

On the weekend, my friend and I took a two-hour bus ride to visit an ancient temple on the mountain that is over a thousand years old.

Every morning in this temple, you can hear the monks chanting scriptures, and many tourists also stand quietly nearby to listen.

Grandma goes to the temple in the east of the city every month to burn incense and pray for her family's safety and health.

Because it was raining heavily, we had to change our plans and took shelter from the rain in a small temple by the roadside.

The architectural style of this temple is very special; the roof tiles are golden yellow and shine brightly in the sunlight.
