I had an great exhibition of the Asoka Pagoda in Nanjing
There is an exhibition of the Asoka Pagoda in Nanjing from August to November, and i was so lucky that i can go with my travelers.
It`s a show about they found one of the biggest Gilt Qibao Ashoka Pogoda which was found in underground palace of Changgan Temple in Nanjing. Many decent painting on the will to tell you the story of Buddha and Ashoka, and you can see the metal case and another stone case to hide this Pagoda, really impressive.
(But it`s not allow to taking picture inside, so there are only a big post i can show you.)
So unbelievable !
