March 1 Sightseeing of Buddhist Temple and Provincial Art Craft shop

Today we visited The Temple of the Six Banyan Trees. It was built more than 1450 years ago.. At that time, the Buddhist monks adored the tranquil life so they rename the Temple of Tranquility. There were many beggars at the entrance, it was a little sad. Inside the temple, the monk blessed our babies to good health, prosperity and happiness. It felt weird, but I guess its no harm. An old lady suddenly pick up one of the babies and walked with her on her arms inside the temple. She just wanted to wished the baby good spirits but our CCAI rep took her back right away. It took us all by surprise and at the end with no consequences. Later on, we visited the Cultural and heritage museum of the Chen Clan Academy. Many arts and crafts displayed throughout the separate rooms and gardens. After touring around, we all went shopping for Jade, souvenirs and Chinese clothing at a upscale department store. Back at our hotel, Emily took a well deserve nap of 2 hours. Today, she finally sat on the stroller, play with other families babies and seem happier and the days before. She even learned how to share her toys with mom and dad and smile shyly. It's a good start to great times.
