(1) On to Changchun. One of the temples on my list, Dizang Si (The Temple of Kshitigarbha Bodhisattva), was quite small to begin with--just two halls. And then, it was closed for a major overhaul. See the blue-tarped area of the sidewalk? That's where the gate used to be. Something of a disappointment. (I entered by the side gate.) But someone kindly let me in for a few shots.

(3) The main Buddha Hall at Dizang Temple in Changchun during its face-lift. That's a nun in the doorway; the temple is a nunnery.
(4) I sat on this pile of bricks outside the walls to do my devotions (this is, after all, a pilgrimage). An old lady temple volunteer interrupted me to give me the little stool in the foreground so I'd be more comfortable. Such compassion!
