Shenlin, Deep Forest

Shenlin
Lost in the deep forest, on the Island of Samdo, Shelin, is a city living of what it can, a train line links it, and a road, it is very calm, and in the night, silence is golden.. I came by bus, only one bus a day I was told.
A feeling of solitude takes you over, a feeling you get in no other cities of the country, although this is a largely inhabited city, it seems like only a thousand live here, I can't explain why.. maybe it's the fog that lends over the city almost every morning. As I enter a shop, I order a warm tea, as I drink it, onlooking a train line with no trains, back in Renagawa where I live, trains dance like on a stage, here only one service train breaks the silence imposed by the thick fog...

1- The Hunter's dorm
I stayed over the night in the hunter dorms, built on a slope, these buildings have just what you need to live with, a chair, a bed, and a table. I shared my room with Su, he is a hunter, every day he goes into the jungle and hunts for various animals he can sell back in the city.
2-Shenlin Temple
From the window of my room I can just see the temple, I read that the city was buil here because of a cult to a god who was said to live here
