It's been a long time since my last update, but here are a few places that I've visited in the city. Again, excuse some of the photos because they are not very good and thanks to my Chinese friends for showing me around to these sites.
Jinsha- site of an ancient Chinese civilization (Shu) around 1000BC
Wuhou Temple- Zhuge Liang (Kongming) and Liu Bei
Wushu Temple- Monks and Buddha
 |
| This smell reminds me of jinglebells. |
 |
| A jade Buddha statue brought on the backs of monks from Burma. |
 |
| Apparently it is a sign of disrespect to take photos of the Buddhist statues, so I don't have any photos of the really big statues. |
 |
| These Buddhist nuns are interesting. I like that some of them are taking pictures with smart phones. Nothing against it. It just caught me a little off guard. |
 |
| They were preparing a ritual of some sort. |
 |
| Wuhou Temple was originally built for Liu Bei, but is more often visited for Zhege Liang or so my Chinese friend said. |
 |
| Jinsha Site |
 |
| This is a statue of Zhege Liang, where my name that 张老师 (Chinese teacher from UMD) gave me comes from: 孔明 |
