Another day, another temple. That is the essence of traveling in Japan for me, and I was glad to keep up the tradition in China.
Mikey and I split up from the ladies and they went to Yuyuan park while he and I went to the Jing'an temple. At all the temples I saw in China, there were these pagoda shaped metal statues. Everyone would try to throw coins into it from ground level.
Mikey tried from the second story balcony that I took this shot from. He missed, and the coin winged some unsuspecting woman in the chest who was about to make her own wild throw.
Another shot of someone trying to 'swish' a coin in.
We also stepped over the Jade Buddha temple for a bit, too.

As usual, construction is going on around the clock in China. In this case, they are in the middle of a full rebuild of the main temple building.
Traveling past an empty courtyard, we passed into another large building to find some buddha statues.
We also stepped over the Jade Buddha temple for a bit, too.
As we made our way out of the Jade Buddha room, we were greeted by a bunch of ladies practicing a traditional dance.
