As the afternoon sun was setting, we rode the cable car to the top of the mountain for some views of the city. It was clean and clear for miles :) |
There was still a bit of fall color on the Western Hills looking out over the lamasery. |
Since the park was closing, we only had time to quickly visit the Lingguangsi Temple, which towers over the other seven temples in this park ('ba da chu' means eight great sites.) |
Once again, people were offering up their prayers.... |
...to the three Buddhas representing the past, present, and future. |
This guy was on his iPhone. I think he was looking up his prayers to recite. Or maybe he was just checking his data plan. Or texting his wife to say he'd be late for dinner. Who really knows?! |
As darkness was settling in, these little girls were 'playing' in the candles. So cute :) |
While this typical Chinese family of three were sharing a more somber moment. Perhaps thinking of a loved one? |
The air was heavy with the smell of burning incense. |
G'nite, y'all!
