Putuoshan




Bon, j'ai deja deux semaines de retard, mais j'ai été trés occuppé... Je vais donc vous montrer qques photos de putuoshan. Putuoshan, c'est une ile au sud de Shanghai, avec plein de moines et de temples bouddhistes. Là, je vais la faire courte, si vous avez des questions hésitez pas. Putuoshan, c'est joli, y'a des couleurs sympas, des joli temples, mais alors une fois que le soleil se couche, y'a plus rien à faire et c'est carrement mort de chez mort. J'ai fait l'aller retour en speed boat au lieu de le faire en bateau couchette, ce qui a réduit le temps qu'on a passé sur place, donc on a un peu tout fait en courant... C'est un peu dommage parce qu'on a loupé pas mal de temples, et de marche a pieds... Ceci dit, les temples, c'est sympa 5 minutes, mais il arrive que ca devienne un peu lassant à la longue...

Two weeks ago, I went to Putuoshan, it's a small island a few kilometers south of Shanghai. It looks close on the map, but it isn't! The speedboat takes 2 hours to go there plus 1h30 of bus before! It took the xhole morning to reach the island, so we didn't have a lot of time to visit it (25 hours in total). The island is full of Bouddhist temples, bouddhist monks and bouddhist prayers... It's very nice during the day, as the island is beautiful, and so are the temples, but as soon as the sun is out, there is nothing left to do... I especially liked the colors of the temples, a very nice spotted yellow. I think if somebody goes there sometime, a good advice would be: stay a few days because it's beautiful, but be prepared to see a looooot of temples, it felt like the bouddhist vatican over there!

Beautiful pictures, but what are you saying? I see sadly the English-speaking only crowd has lost our stands. We have no representation any more:<:<:<

Ok, I'm sorry, it was late, so I didn't make an effort... But at least, I'm happy to that my english speaking readers are still there! I'll translate it for you then...

Thanks for the translation. My French only enables me to know that something is written in French, not Italian or Spanish:)

About the temples, they are like churchs in Europe. People dedicated their money and energy into god worship, and no one wanted to destroy it for fear of angering the god. Besides, chinese and buddism is like French and catholic. We don't have to be religious, but we have the culture!
