We didn’t expect such a deep atmosphere. The Sanctuary of Truth impresses from the very first minutes - when you realize that everything is made of wood and carved by hand, it’s hard to wrap your head around it. The guide was incredibly engaging, pointing out meanings and details we would never have noticed on our own. At times we even wanted to stop and just stay silent. It’s a powerful, beautiful, and truly special place. After the visit, we kept discussing it and looking through the photos for a long time.
