Aug 3 was a packed day visiting the Jade Buddha Temple where a festival was taking place. As we walked into the courtyard a blessing was occurring for a family’s vehicle, which was parked right there. Apparently the monks will bless anything for a donation. Although the way everyone drives in China, we suppose blessings of vehicles would be a necessity. There was a treasured jade sculpture which was brought back many years ago by a monk in his travels. There was also a large marble sculpture which was a present from Singapore. Then for a quaint walk through the 400 year old Yuyuan Garden and Old Town.
