Today has been great so far..Spent the morning visiting local sights - 2 fasntastic temples - Yuangtong (bhuddist) and Golden (Taoist). The former was very picturesque with the typical chinese style gates ornataely carved and painted in different colours, a beautiful ciruclar pagoda anbd surrounded by water with terrapins and fish - people throw them in for luck. There were monks in beautiful orange robes. And lots of people burning incense and praying. There were huge bhudda statues and orante wooden carvings in fairly gaudy colours.
