Fo Quang Shan (2)

After much admiration of the Buddhas at Fo Quang Shan, we made an exit. It was interesting to be able to see more statues along the exit.


we were walking towards the exit


just amazed at the different poses of the statues


more statues


view of the temple


cute statues


this tiger statue looks fierce and ready to pounce

At the sides of the exit were Chinese writings biding us goodbye and hoping to see us again. After a short wait, our bus came and we left the place with a feeling of satisfaction.

    I thought you went to Huang Shan in China where you climbed mountains. Why do they have same name?

Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people.
