Budhist temple in Beijing

West to the Imperial Palace Museum there is an old Budhist temple. A house size Budha statue is sitting in the middle of the temple rising to the height of several storeys. There was no possiblity to shoot photos inside.

You'll see some pictures from: Imperial Palace Museum (forbidden city), the Temple of Heaven Park, Summer Palace, Bell and Drum Tower, Jingshan Park (Coal Hill), Bei Hai Park, Zoo, Tianmen Square - nearly in every most interesting place in Bejing and short way outside like the Great Wall and the Imperial Summer Palace.


Other trips on this site:
Prague, Izmir and Rome.
My other hobbies are:
Guitar playing and making music, renovation or building houses, building scale models, writing and reading books. Mainly historical - novels or classics.
