观音阁，又称观世音阁，是位于中国湖北省鄂州市的一座寺庙。
Its origins date back to the Yuan Dynasty, and is the only temple built on the nearly 4,000-mile long Yangtze River.
该寺也是绵延近4000英里（6000多公里）的长江上的唯一一座寺庙，其历史可以追溯至元朝时期。
The temple sits on a large reef rock in the river.
寺庙盘旋于河中的一块大礁石上。
During the rainy season, the temple's foundation is submerged in water, and the building looks as if it's floating.
汛期来临时，寺庙的地基会被江水淹没，寺庙便如同漂浮于水面之上。
Today, the pavilion isn't open to the public.
如今，这里已经谢绝参观。
However, that doesn't stop adventure swimmers from exploring the structure.
