The remnants of an idol
Walking around the mountains
The mountains of Yunnan
Monkey with kid
The guy feeding this monkey identified the monkey as "the monkey king"
Climb to the top of the mountain
The temple as seen from the front gate
View of the mountain
The trails leading up the mountain
Mid-level of the temple
Mountain peaks
These likely once held the ashes of a monk
Idols on higher levels of the mountain
The view from the top. I believe you can see all the way to Er Lake, near Dali
Peak of the opposite mountain
Ruins of a temple on the top of a mountain. Someone lives there now.
Chickens in the temple
Fields for cultivation next to the temple
Coming down the mountain
And more mountains, lovely lovely...
The main idols, a closer look. The golden one is Maitreya, the Future Buddha.
Temple complex, from the level of the idols
For scales
FOOD PORN! This was a ridiculous vegetarian feast the temple prepared for us. Directly in the foreground was one of the rare misses: it tasted like sticks covered in sugar, and it might have been. But next to it is awesome fried cheese.
The idols in the mountain again. I usually avoid taking pictures of the idols, but it was pretty hard to do here.
Mountains again.
