Day 6 -- Jing'an Temple

This is the most famous of temples in Beijing, but I found the smaller one more interesting since this one is under construction/refurbishment.

This was leading up to the temple.

Lots of Lions in China.

They put a lot of work into their statues and pictures.

I wouldn't want to disrespect their faith, but I can't help thinking what a waste of time they put into these false gods when there is one true God.

There was a large courtyard in the middle of the four sided temple.  Here I am on the second level with the court yard behind me.

Some of the gods seem silly, some serious, some scary, and there just seem so many.  A different god for every concern the people could think of.

The building is very intricately designed.
