This past weekend I had the chance to visit a couple of the more notable sites in Anhui Province: the ancient village of Sanhe and one of the four sacred Chinese Buddhist mountains, Mount Jiuhua. Sanhe, as it stands, is about 1,000 years old, but it was a village going waaaaay back. Mount Jiuhua is about a three-hour drive south of Hefei and is the site of 99 temples, from the mountain's foot to its peaks. (Seemed like a lot more than 99, though, as I walked miles of paths and steps.) The smoke from the incense rivals the smog of Beijing. Below are some pics. Click on Read More to see more photos. The Guanyin temple: full of smoke and hubbub. (A cable car unloads near this temple, for those who don't want to make the two-hour hike.) I saw many believers walking up the thousands of steps in a painstaking pilgrimage: they would go up six steps, then fall to their knees, head to steps, arms stretched out. Then rise, six steps, same thing again.
