Frogs at the Bazaar
If you stroke the frog's back with a wooden stick, it makes the frogs croak. Apparently, we have these in America, according to Zach, but I never saw one until I came to China. You might notice how the Chinese frogs croak differently than American ones.

To the Bazaar
Up these stairs, we come to a temple where swallows fly overhead and swoop down on mosquitoes. This part is filled with tourists as they make their way to and fro the bazaar.

Massive elephant
While these elephants may be in a row, some of the snouts point in different directions. They are part of one of the largest Buddhist temples. Here is Zach and me.

In the Buddhist temple, anyone can try calligraphy. Zach has just opened his secret message, possibly a proverb, and will begin writing calligraphy.

Greetings
At the booth where you can pick up the scroll and paper, a Buddha greets you. Behind are some tourists practicing their writing skills. Again, this is in the Buddhist temple.

Prayers for Blessing
You probably cannot see from here, but on the day we visited the Buddhist temple, we saw one of Siddhartha's finger bone. If I would guess, it would be his pinky. Monks and tourists pray together.

Walls of Buddhas
the intricate details on the walls gives tourists attention to detail. Notice how some of the postures are different from one another.
