The home is next to the Shuixi Twin Towers. I have loved to run to the temple since I was a child. The old monk will give the children pastries and fruits. The sound of ringing the bell can be heard around four o'clock in the morning. The wind can also hear the sound of bells on the Shuixi Tower. The air here is fresh. Quiet. . Photos taken with children in Shuixi Temple. I like it very much. . .
