See, Chinese people are smarter. They never give up a chance to make money even at religious sites.

Great Mosque in Xian is famous but it also charges admission fee. I have been there two times.

I just see monks in temples become plump. Some of them even have iphone and DSLR. You know that these things are not cheap. Last year, a monk asked me to take a photo for him when I was on Mt. Jiuhua. When he handed his camera to me, I was a bit surprised. It was a brand new Nikon DSLR. At that moment, I was thinking it was his camera or it belonged to his temple.

If his camera belongs to his temple, then I have no doubt. But I have doubt if it belongs to him.
