Mountain Gate, Yushan Xingfu Temple, Changshu, Jiangsu

I enjoyed seeing these two old men seated in the Mountain Gate at Yushan Xingfu Temple in Changshu, Jiangsu. Temples often fulfill the role of "senior center" in their neighborhoods.

The temple sits at the foot of Yushan, which is named for a rather shadowy figure known as Yu Zhong who lived in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties (c 1600-771 BCE); his tomb is found on the mountain.
