Last gasp sightseeing

Neil, my new assistant Fang Fang, and I took the bus to Putian yesterday to see the Southern Shaolin temple there (it’s up a mountain). Then we took another bus to Quanzhou to see their Southern Shaolin temple (also par way up a mountain). There are three temples that claim to be the true Southern Shaolin temple. ‘Twas a rather long day, and we spent a huge amount of time on buses, but I really enjoyed exploring. I have a Flickr set of our day’s sightseeing.
