The Putuo ZongCheng Temple in ChengDe, HeBei province, is a Qing dynasty Buddhist temple. The complex was constructed between 1767 and 1771 during the reign of emperor QianLong (1735–1796). It is located just north of the ChengDe Mountain Resort. Along with the equally famed Puning Temple, it is one of the Eight Outer Temples of ChengDe (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). The temple was modeled after the Potala Palace in Tibet. The temple complex covers a surface area of some 220,000 square meters, making it one of the largest in China. The Mountain Resort in ChengDe 避暑山庄 (BìShǔ ShānZhuāng literally means "Mountain Villa for Avoiding the Heat") was an imperial get-away. Built between 1703 and 1792 during the Qing dynasty, the vast Mountain Resort covers a total area of 5.6 square kilometers (2.2 square miles) and is surrounded by a mini 'Great Wall', which one can walk. It contains a variety of gardens, pagodas, temples and palaces representing the styles from various regions of China.

Real freedom is to be able to live without fear - without fear of destitution, poverty, illness, murder and crime; being able to live; being able to love, one's family and friends and the wider world, because one is not in constant fear ... Freedom to say what you like on a park stool (fake freedom / fools freedom - no leg irons, perhaps, but economic chains), or the real freedom to live your life ? The West has decepid infrastructure, mass shootings (about 5 in just the last week), failing healthcare and declining life expectancy, to name a few of its ills. Is it all about the 1% or is it for all the people ? The West needs to grow up. With Sabrina in China ... In China, the people are family. In the West, the people are livestock. When you know you are family, no need to fear, and are free.
