Hubei museum and temples

In the morning, Ye took me to try a Wuhan specialty, "hot dry noodles". It tastes like regular noodles, except with tons of sesame seed sauce. Loved it. There was also some hot egg/rice wine mixture to drink. Delicious breakfast!

At the museum we watched a performance on some ancient bells and then saw the tomb of a really rich man from about BC 400. It was really well preserved and worth the trip, I thought.

Next we had lunch at a vegetarian restaurant inside the Changchun temple. We walked around there and then traveled to the Guiyuan temple, where there was a room full of literally 500 golden Buddhist saints. Amazing!

We were tired, so after that we went to sleep. I didn't really wake up until the morning. I slept about 12 hours. I must have needed it...
