Nice scenery and little creatures, thanks
With all your effort climbing far and high, do you consider one day visiting "The Great Wall", Heike ?

Another day.
A friend took me today to Sheung Seui and Fanling.
We visited a taoist temple and afterwards the Tang Chung Ling Ancestral Hall and nearby Lo Wai.
Internet is terrible today. It took me over 10 (in letters t-e-n minutes to upload the first pic.
Inside the temple, nice painting.
The roof.
Try to scroll in on this pic, so very beautiful.
A wall at the the acestral hall.
Lo Wai is not open to public, so I had to be quick Who could resist to take a pic from this old building?
That`s it from yesterday. Not sure if there will be anything from today. At first I will meet friends for lunch and then will go to Sha Tin - ah we`ll see.

Amazing that all these nice old buildings are well preserved .
Thanks for your effort uploading pics for us to see, with slow Internet connections. Hopefully, the next round of pics will be quickly uploaded.
Every year you go to HK, we go with you via cyber space . |

Your wish came true, Yitian! Thank you! It was much quicker tonight.
OK, I went to Sha Tin this afternoon. First to the Leslie Cheung memorial plate. I`ve posted a pic of it in my last year`s report.
Then I went up the hill to the "Tenthousand Buddhas Monastery".
Statue along the way.
Manjushri, the Buddha of wisdom. I wouldn`t have recognized him, the chinese version. I`m only familar with the tibetan kind.
And I never can take my eyes of her. She is such a beauty.
Gwun Yam, Buddha of mercy.
Unfortunately, one is not allowed to take photos inside the halls. There would have been such nice statues. _________________ Water which is too pure has no fish. |

Thanks for more photos Heike,
"Tenthousand Buddhas Monastery" is another place I've never been.
I didn't have enough time, when we went to near Sha Tin this time.
I would like to visit there next time. |

大概是沙田万佛寺的五百阿罗汉像其中的一尊吧,立于山路两旁,从山脚一直排列到山顶寺院,我猜:)
