Translation of deliverance in German

Once the rain stopped we continued to visit some other sites within the city, among them a popular Pagoda, which was not in the center. We took a cab there and enjoyed this beautiful place of worship.
Once at the top we asked ourselves what this was all about. The site from the top was beautiful but it lacked atmosphere and the sunset was not that spectacular at all in our opinion.
We had never seen a similar landscape. The lagoons had different kind of colors, blue, white, green and red. They were all surrounded by rocky, dark volcanoes making the entire landscape surreal.
