After leaving the Jade Buddha Temple, we headed through a gate that led into the Rohan Holy Land. We were greeted by a beautiful Taoist temple with a long circular hallway lined with 500 Buddhas...one after another, after another....

I loved the hand positions.
People left gifts of money on the statues in creative ways.

Loved this shot...
Woohoo! We made it to the 500th Buddha!
