Dongyue Temple

There are many Temple fairs during Spring Festival.

We went to one my friend recommended.  It was certainly an interesting place, go here to find out all about it.  I will just include some of my pictures here.


 There were these 'departments' around the perimeter buildings of the temple, they each did something for a specific condition or....whatever and they were full of these statues.  The  plaque went with the picture below.





 Juxtaposition of the old against the new.  Most of these buildings were rebuilt after the cultural revolution,  this temple in 2002, to look like the ancient structures.  I am sure the link will explain more.


 
It was a cold day in Beijing!




Love, fondly, sincerely,
zaijian,
