Zhanshan Buddist Temple

Another temple that Ron and I visited was the Zhanshan Buddist Temple. It was built in 1945, and it is still an active temple.


While the pictures make the area around the temple look nice, the area was actually very dirty, and trash was everywhere.







The next building is one that had statues in the walls all around it. People were walking around and around the building and bowing down to each statue. There were all ages of people.




We did not get a good picture of the monks, but they are the ones in the gold colored clothes. They were taking down speakers that had been used for some kind of program.














The number of small figures on the roof corners indicate the importance of the place. There is a certain number that only an emperor can have.

One of the interesting things about this place was that there were "No Smoking" signs everywhere-----even though the inscense smoke filled the air!
