The Yunju (or Cloud Dwelling) Temple is situated inside a limestone cave, south of the Shangfang Mountains. It came into being up around an ancient shrine. Two bone fragments found at the site were said to belong to Siddhartha Gautama, Buddhism's founder. More than 77,000 engraved wooden blocks containing the Chinese Tripitaka (Buddhist scriptures) draw large crowds to the site. [China.org.cn/Photo by Dong Nianlong]
