Chinese Temple Vs Hindu Temple Vs Islam Mosque

The religious sites had many things in common, but also lots of differences. The Chinese Temple and the Hindu Temple were very colorful, but the Mosque had barely any colors, only white and black and some few other colors. The Chinese temple was full of colors, especially red, and the Hindu temple had green, blue, white, black, and so many others. The Hindu temple and the Mosque was very hollow, empty and spacious. On the other hand, the Chinese temple was full of statues, candles, pillars, tables, and food. The Hindu temple and the Mosque didn't have a special scent or smells, because they were in an open space, but the Chinese temple had very strong scents of the candles. The Mosque was very geometric, because their designs were all geometric shapes and geometric patterns. But, The Chinese temple and the Hindu temple had much more drawings, paintings, sculptures and symbols more than anything. All of those religions has some kind of being like god, and also Buddhism and Hinduism looks like they have more than one god. All of those religions practice praying to the gods, and there is certain time for praying, but you can always stop by (You can go in the temples even if it's not praying time). The one I find most interesting is the Buddhism, because their temple looked very interesting. It was so colorful, with mostly red, and there were food on the table all the time, which was unusual. They sold things such as fortune paper and fortune cookies. They lit up candles that had a very strong scent, and it was so strong that sometimes my nose would hurt. They also had a step, that you had to step over to chase away the bad luck in you. Overall, the field trip was very fun, and there were lots of interesting things to see. I had a great time.


Almost everything in the Islam Mosque is geometric, and they have patterns, like the arch.














This is the roof of the Hindu temple. It has so much sculptures and drawings of gods.


















The chinese temple always keeps candles lit, and they have a strong scent.
