Return to Shanghai Part 2 - the photos

I hoped that in the earlier hours of this morning, when no-one else is up using the internet, I may have better luck with my photos. And thankfully I did.

At the temple. The Buddhist monks (in the traditional yellow) and devoted followers (in grey) were all chanting.

A beautiful golden Buddha.

The smaller white jade Buddha.

One of many beautiful art works at the temple.

The monks parade after their chanting and singing.

One of the works of art in the wall opposite the temple complex. This marks re-entry into daily life. Apparently apartments near here are much less expensive, as many residents do not want the Buddhas watching their every move.

Part of the ancient market place we had to walk through to reach the garden.

The dragon whose very long tail ran atop an undulating fence.

Part of the beautiful ancient garden.

Some beautiful jade for sale in a shop within the garden.

More of the beautiful garden. I think this was their famous tea-house.

Another part of the market, seen as we walked back to our bus.
