[Japan] 京都，左京區，三千院 (Sanzen-in)

三千院位於京都市郊，交通時間會久一點，不過我還是建議這一天早點起床，稍微趕一下，八點左右就來到三千院，人少，又身處山中，氣氛平和，非常舒服～
This is a temple which is at the suburb of Kyoto. It's a little far from the down town. I still recommend to get up early and try to arrive here in the early morning, maybe 8 o'clock. It's so peaceful at that moment.

從公車站到三千院，是一段上坡的步道，早晨的陽光，加上山區的一點霧氣，真的是美景不斷，非常享受。
On the track up to Sansen-in, with the sunshine and the red maples, it's so beautiful. And because there are not so many people, even the local stores, it's quiet.

三千院的地圖，園區不算小，可以逛個一個小時左右。

門票要價日幣700元，略貴一點。
The ticket costs ¥ 700.

記得曾經聽過，日本有些寺院是要去參觀「地衣」的，我在逛三千院時，感覺這兒的地衣似乎有經過養護，或許就是其中之一，這兒算是難得，仍然散發濃濃緣意的庭園，在看了這麼多天帶著秋意的庭園，這兒真的挺不一樣的。
Some Japanese temples are famous of the lichens. I guess Sanzen-in might be one of them. The ground of the garden is covered by the lichens. I don't know if there is Zen, but I know it's amazing.

除了地衣，這兒還有有趣的石佛像，分佈在庭園裡，每座大約都只有30-60公分，真的很可愛。
Not only for the lichens, it's also famous with the cute Buddha. 

其他晨光下的美景如下：

 這張是我特別喜歡的一張照片，底下一層地衣，上面薄薄一層紅楓，感覺不會那麼厚重，覺得好看。

(I like this photo because it's one layer of the lichens and one layer of the red maples, it's clean and light.)

離開前，還可以免費喝杯茶，記得是偏甜的口味。
Before leaving Sanzen-in, it serves a free cup of tea.
