You're standing on the Zeedijk, right in the heart of Amsterdam's Chinatown, in front of the He Hua Temple. He Hua means lotus flower. Have a look at those curved roofs and the granite steps. This is the largest Buddhist temple in Europe built in the traditional Chinese palace style. The stone stairs and balustrades were even made in China.
