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.

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.

Prayer's Hand Emerges
This is pool in front of the temple. The colors are off because the day was truly sunny as could be.

Sitting on a Dragon
We had taken a train to get from the foot of the pathway to the head. However, I was so lucky to get clear shots of each of each statue.

Candle-lit Water Lilies
In each water lily is a pink candle.

Stone Water-Lily
In the water, there are mammoth statues that all relate to Buddhist beliefs, such as this water lily.

Playful Imitation
Nancy is in front of the lion statue with a playful imitation.

Bulging
There's a feel to this that the lion is going to leap out of its stone chains, thanks to the lean and mean Zach!

Ball Caught in a Statue's Mouth
You can actually move this ball, which makes statue carving pretty amazing. It's a little secret of the temple we visited.

Beyond the Temple's Walls
I had such an amazing sight of the peasant's life. This is only a small part of the Xi'an peasant lifestyle.

To the View on Top
We were just steps away from reaching to the tower. Still in the temple.
