I allowed three days for Harbin and two for Shengyang. With the benefit of hind sight perhaps it would have been better the other way around.<\/div>\n<div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">Today I wandered off to visit the temple district. On the way I passed three churches, two of which seemed to be Russian. At the western one they invited me into to listen to the sermon. However, it was all in Chinese. I did wander inside to see what it looked like. A plain room with bench seats. However, I explained that I did not know that much chinese and excused myself.<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">Only one of the two temples was open. It was an large and active affair and there were plenty of people in it. I had some of the most impressive pagodas I have seen. I will upload a photo of it later. They wanted to charge me 3 quai to get into the closed looking entertainment park, so I passed on that. I headed off to another temple and museum. However I headed off down the wrong road. The third person I spoke to knew where I wanted to go was located, and took me there down many back paths through the Harbin Engineering University. It was a simple temple and the history of nations seemed to be a single room which was a history of the Jin nation.<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<div> <\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">Hence, after a short day I returned to my Hotel. I will stay here tomorrow until check out time. There is still one park I want to visit, that I did not have time for yesterday as the sun was going down and then in the evening I am on the train to Beijing to start my tour.<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/286730384\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/111\/286730384_12beb9bd32_m.jpg\" alt=\"Buddha and the pagodas\" height=\"158\" width=\"240\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well perhaps I made a mistake.
