The ancient Shengshou Temple might be a strange name to young people, let alone its brilliant history and charming resorts. But it will only take you one day to get to know it and even admire it.

  Located halfway of the Fulongshan Mountain, around 20 kilometers to the north of Chengxi Community, Yiwu city, the Temple entrance is next to the highway. The couplets on the stone pillars at the entrance, obvious to visitors upon arrival, tell people not to miss the sacred place with charming scenery. Walking inside and climbing along the stone stairs, you will see the Shengshou Temple after the Buyun Pavilion, the Lianjing Pavilion and the Bell Tower. Established in the early Tang Dynasty, the quiet temple attracted such scholars as Song Lian and Fang Xiaonuo to write books and give lectures here. After several destructions and renovations, the Temple, rebuilt in recent years, only keeps such ancient relics as the Shengshou Temple stele, the stone arhat, the pedestal of the stone pillar and the Bairu Spring of the Yuan Dynasty. But the centuries-old yacca, revived after death, is a true miracle.

  The 600-year-old yacca, withered as a result of deliberate torture in the Cultural Revolution, saw sprouting leaves in the spring of 1987. With a hollow root broken to pieces and a shiny trunk, the yacca has two green branches sticking to the sky.

Ovaj tjedan su praznici :D Prošli sam petak išla na izlet s prijateljima. Otišli smo u XueMingov grad, ShengZhou. Trebali smo krenut u 1:30, ali smo naravno zakasnili na bus -.- Zamjenili smo karte za sljedeći. 

Put je trebao trajati 3 i pol sata, stigli smo nakon 5 i pol. 

ShengZhou je mali mali gradić. Prešli smo s jednog kraja na drugi za 20 minuta taxijem. Spavali smo u stanu XueMingovog bratića. On je poznati kirurg u tom gradu i okolici (čitaj: ima ogroman stan, svatko je imao svoju sobu, želim bit bogata). XueMingova sestrična je medicinska sestra...sve neki pametni u obitelji. Roditelji na žalost ne pričaju mandarinski, pa se nismo uopće sporazumijevali.

Na žalost slikala sam samo hram koji smo posjetili 3. dan. Svaki put zaboravim slikat.

3. dan, u nedjelju smo otišli posjetiti hram u gradu do. Slike ću staviti u nekoliko sljedećih postova jer mi proxy opet ne radi i ne mogu uploadat slike na imageshack ~~~~(>_<)~~~~ 

Nakon toga smo išli u XueMingov rodni grad/selo. Kada je rekao selo mislila sam da ću se ubit. Vozili smo se 20 minuta do tamo i stvarno sam se bojala na što će to ličit. Njihovo selo izgleda kao naš mali grad. Toliko o siromašnim kineskim selima. Tamo smo imali večeru sa cijelom obitelji. Zašto su čak i kineske obitelji veće od moje nekoliko puta O.o ? Bilo je nekih 20 ljudi (samo tatina strana).

U ponedjeljak smo se vratili. Sva 4 dana sam bila bolesna i imala temperaturu. Divno.
