Question  :     Hi Shellbeach,In most temples in China it would be very hard to find accomodation too, but there are some possibilities. What kind of number do you expect?    Answer   :    Thanks for your question. In China temples are at least formally run by the government and in some cases even the monks themselves do not live there. I have located a few where guests can negotiate their way in. I have left out the famous Shaolin temple, where you can live for two months and practise martial arts, since you do not seem to look for that. There is not shortage of so-called temple tours, but they would mostly put you up in hotels.Emei Shan - one of the sacret montainsA guest reports: "I stayed at that temple for the night. The nun I had to deal with to get a bed was a real stickler. On the surface, she looked like such a cute little nun with her shaved head and glasses. But she was a ruthless bargainer. She would not lower the price a single kuai despite the fact that three quarters of the beds in the place were empty. After 20 minutes of impotent flagellating, I finally accepted her price. Come dinnertime, I could see why she was so cranky and enjoyed taking it out on me. More flavorless veggie slop. I'm sure that's all she's eaten for the past 20 years.
