The Dragon Mountain in Milpitas
Wonderful multi-religion, historic park of the Vietnamese cultural heritage. This is not only another 'Buddhist monastery', this is an inter-faith amazing place to meditate, wonder, pray, have a picnic with family and friends, read a book in the red hammock or even do an exhausting workout climbing stairs made of cement and rooted to the mountain, stairs that seem to bring you directly to heaven. I love "my" Dragon Mountain, just 20 minutes away from where I live!
After a pretty steep and curvy road, you will have plenty of parking spaces to choose from, depending on what 'station' do you prefer to start your micro-adventure. I was surprised to see what I will call the "Madonna of Milpitas" or the "Virgin Mary of Milpitas" in an area dedicated to the Christian faith. It is very peaceful and I will recommend as an alternative of a church because you get the extra side of the views and the smell of trees (plus the always burning incense).
I enjoyed everything: that hammock! and the picnic tables made of carved stones and tree trunks, all polished and neat. There is a lot of construction going on, so this park is going to grow and be even more magnificent. The vistas to the golf course down hill could not be better.
Bring your picnic basket, you won't regret. Bring your tennis shoes. You will regret if don't (you won't want to skip the stairs peregrination). Each statue is made either of nice stones (like white marble) or wood (like that majestic one, literally a man out of a tree, amazing).
A big thanks to the generosity of the Vietnamese donor of this land and creator of the Dragon Mountain, what an spiritual, unselfish gift for the 'semi-souless Silicon Valley'. The views, the atmosphere, the good vibes, just wow.
