July 25, 2010 - Leaving Zhenjiang, I took a highway bus to Yangzhou. I had lived there before, so going there was a little like returning to my hometown.

After checking in, I took a bus out to Gaomin Temple. This was just "tagging up," as in 2007 I had had a thorough tour of the temple (with a busload of monks and nuns from Fo Guang Shan in Gaoxiong, Taiwan Province).
