Next to Beijingss Fragrant Mountains there is an old Buddhist Temple called WoFo. Its surrounded by gardens and trees. There are very few "green" places like this in Beijing. Inside the temple there were huge Buddhist statues but it was not allowed to take pictures of them. People in China go to Buddhist tables to give a short prayer and light up a joss stick which burns for a long time and gives a nice smell. (Rökelse/Suitsuke).
In the inner yard of the temple was a huge pool full of golden fish! You could buy a bag of food for them and feed them. You can also buy a fish from here for good luck...Nice business, first buy food for them so they grow fast and then sell them...
