Incense sticks burning in Lingyin temple

Incense sticks burning in the Lingyin Buddhist temple near Hangzhou

The number of towns and of cultural elements to visit when someone has the opportunity to travel to Shanghai is endless. A friend drove us to the Lingyin temple near Hangzhou. We only had a few hours to visit a temple that could actually require a couple of days to be really appreciated. In this photo I decided to capture an element representing a moment of thought and pray that every follower in the temple takes time to observe.
