Out of Pingyao

Today's sojourn took in two major sights and a lunch. First up, a Buddhist monastery dating back to (I think) the 4th century, but no longer in operation. Buddhism came to China from India via Tibet and took hold without getting really big.
We then journeyed on to the Wong family compound. He made his money initially in tofu and then some. He had 5 compounds, each of which is huge. Totally excessive really and nearly all of it reallocated by the communists.
Lunch was at a nearby restaurant. Food out here is spicier.Meer informatie
