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.
