    Hiking

    Regarding footwear: hiking boots aren't absolutely necessary here; I was able to complete the temple hike easily in sneakers. The 1,000 steps are daunting at first, but are surprisingly manageable. They're spread out along a very beautiful path that leads uphill. There are plenty of opportunities to pause and enjoy the numerous statues, lanterns, and the scenery.
