Golden Buddha
Proof we are still in China! This giant golden Buddha stands in the grounds of The Temple of Bliss (Jile Si), part of the Wen Temple Scenic Spot. Concerned Chinese residents funded the complex in the 1920's in response to the reconstruction of St Sophia as they believed it challenged the "feng shui" of the city. The famous seven-tiered stone pagoda is seen to the left and the two-tiered belltower to the right.
