(Airdate: February 18, 2025) In the town of Zhangye, we’ve just entered its most famous site — Big Buddha Temple. On the way through the temple’s front courtyard, we passed a group of musicians who’s playing apparently put the temple’s Buddha statue to sleep. In the main shrine hall, we found the biggest reclining Buddha in China. It wasn’t an especially aesthetic rendering, but it was, as advertised, plenty big!
