The Ciyuin Buddhist Temple

 The Ciyuin (cloud resting temple) is a silent documentary. I kept it as such because too much complication spoils things, including textual conversation. Here I would invite the people to look at the candles, the censure, the various preying postures at hand.

Ciyuin is at "11." Beijing Archeological is at "10." The "Manley" one roughly at "9." 

The 18 Lohans (Again)

 Here is a video tour of the 18 Lohans from out 2004 trip.

The Mushroom Tunnel

 The mushroom tunnel was important because first we though it a feature of the Palace. But it was not. The Palace was on the other side of Phoenix Hill. And it didn't persist. The next year it wasn't here. There is a buzzer which goes off about midway through. Nancy is surprised!

I want to record the places on the Blog. This one is roughly in the same place as the Beijing Archaeological Survey mentioned in the previous Blog. 

The Beijing Archeological Survey Makes an Appearance

 Here we are looking for the Beijing Archeological Survey. But first, we had just seen mushrooms so we asked about that.

"10" locates this on the map.

Here are the four who were the Beijing Archaeological Survey. They were young, just out to do roads. 

Looking for the West Gate

Looking for the West Gate, I find myself reflective!

It is located by the West Gate by "9." When we were at the kiln, we headed up the hill, so it is possible that it is on the other side of the hill. 

 

Slides Which Complete the Picture

On the red line we have "2" which is the King and Queen's living quarters, "4," the 1,000 women "in service to the King," and "4a" which is the "woods which face one another," about what the King did there.

We also have "8," which is off Fantian, which is a "marker."  

We have also in this slide the hike Fantian to the 18 Lohan and return via Songcheng Road in the village. 

Here we have the Fantian-Songcheng Road hike with the left side going up and the right side coming down Songcheng Road.

This slide is the same as the one above, but the GPS is different. The hike is from the "sweeper."

This is the "marker" for the Fantian-Songcheng hike. It corresponds with "8."
