Gate, Long Nunnery, Jiuhuashan, Anhui

The "apricot-colored" gate of tiny Long (Dragon) Nunnery on Jiuhuashan, Anhui, a "dwarf" across from the massive Zhantanlin across the street. Founded as a monastery in the Ming, it became a nunnery in the Qing. It now houses a Burmese jade statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, moved here from nearby Huacheng Temple (the mountain's oldest) in 1995.
