A shop? A teahouse? I wish I knew
Vicky sent me this amazing postcard from Hong Kong. Unfortunately, the postcard is completely in Chinese and Vicky’s message (at right), while adorable, did nothing to elucidate me regarding this view.
This building almost seems to be built into the rock. Am I looking at it right? What could this building be? It looks like there’s neon in the window so it may be a shop of some kind, or perhaps a teahouse. For that matter, it wouldn’t look too out of place in Diagon Alley.

As i read from the bottom left of the postcard, this is a temple built in Jiang Su Province in China.
If I direct translate to English, the building is called Rock / Stone Buddha Temple.
I knew that I should have asked you before I posted it. Since it was mailed from Hong Kong, I assumed it was a postcard from Hong Kong. Thanks very much!
interesting – I never would have thought Buddhist Temple – looks more like someone’s home
