But I got some shots of the crowds, and of the inside of the temple where people were making offerings and lighting incense. The nice thing was that the temple was very open to visitors and the monk and attendants on hand happily explained to non-Chinese what the meaning of it all was and invited them to light candles or incense sticks.
