We decided to go somewhere different with Eva today and we chose to visit a Chinese Temple which was high up in the mountains.
The view from here
You can see the capital city , Kuala Lumpur from a distance.
At the carpark we found some animal sculptures.
The pagoda
At the entrance. Eva giving her girly look.
Now let's zoom out...
Can you still see her??
She behaved herself very well. Lots of people were interested in her and also many commented on how pretty she was. Someone even asked to take her picture.
This is the traditional Imperial Guarding Lion, often called 'Foo Dogs' in the Western culture.
They were believed to protect the temples, palaces, and homes of the wealthy.
Who do you think is the better protector here????
A huge Buddha statue
Does it look like Buddha is looking at her?
She was such a good girl and knew how to pose every time we asked her to.
Here are some of the statues
Dragons on the roof
Eva reading about the Lohans
"Lohans are well-known for their great wisdom, courage and supernatural power. Due to their abilities to ward off the evil, Lohans have became guardian angels of the Buddhist temple and there in the main hall standing guard are the ever-present, indomitable-looking 18 Lohan figures, sometimes accompanied by 500 or more lesser Lohans."
At the exit
This was the last posing spot with the Chinese lanterns.
You can see that she looks pretty tired out!

Oh Priscilla! I loved all of these photos! The pagoda is amazing, and the view stunning.
My mom has a photo she took of a Buddha statue in Japan. It looks exactly the same. So important to have little Eva in the photos to help you realize the true size of everything.
I love being a cyber tourist!
Can people go up inside the pagoda? It looks like there are balconies on every tier.
Your pictures are amazing. I love the picture of Eva and the Foo Dog.
Thanks for your kinds words about Tucker. They really meant a lot to me.
What a beautiful place! I love the fancy buildings and all the statues.

thank you so much for sharing those photos with us - they are wonderful! I think the one we love the most is Eva by the foo dog.
Sara, yes people are allowed to go into the pagoda but because we had Eva with us, with thought it best not to go just in case.
Oh wow - beautiful! I'd love to know more about the little statues on the hillside.

Such awesome photos! And what a pretty plac to visit. As for who is the better protector, we don't know, but we do know that Eva is far better looking than the Foo Dog:)
Woos - Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning
What a beautiful place to visit! We have a park near here that has a Foo Dog garden. It's so cool that each one is a little different. Eva, you look even more lovely than usual!
