sistine chapel of china

i have not been writing... that's coz i have been so busy with work, which brought me to china. can you believe i couldnt update my blog while travelling around china! even facebook is blocked! well i wasnt at that many places, mainly shanghai and the neigbouring areas, but it was a tiring two weeks.

i did sneak out time to visit the buddhist temple in wuxi, which reminded me of the sistine chapel in the vatican city. i was told that the temple held the annual worldwide buddhist convention here. the marble work was just amazing. it cost approx. US$ 100+mil i think to build the place. considering the low cost of labour in china where people earn US$100 a month in some places, spending that amount seems unreal.


i am told, it's the world largest statue of buddha... very impressive.






there's loads more pics, i'll post when i can :-)

have a wonderful day!
