On
the first day of the Year of the Snake, Nankunshen Daitian Temple
was exceptionally crowded, but I did get to see the newest attraction
inside this ancient temple – a solid-gold tablet [pictured left] dedicated to the
Jade Emperor. Weighing 405kg, at today's gold price it's worth about US$23.5m.
This slow-to-load Chinese-language blogger has posted some superb photos of the complex; the very first and some lower down show the Jade Emperor tablet.
