Monastery Meets Modernity



A picture of one of the entryways to a courtyard of Harbin's Jile Temple with the ferris wheel of the neighboring Harbin Cultural Park - formerly Novoye Cemetery, one of the burial grounds for the city's Orthodox Christians - in the background. It was a bit surreal to be in such a quiet, peaceful place and yet still at various points be able to see the apartment buildings and ferris wheel towering above its walls!
