What a beautiful place! That's interesting that there is so much Chinese influence there, it must have been during a time of Chinese occupation over the centuries. The sculptures and figures are gorgeous, what a great location to visit. I agree with you that tourists shouldn't show up in tank tops and showing multiple tattoos when visiting a temple, it's disrespectful. I wouldn't want anyone showing up like that in a site that I considered holy!
As always great pictures and a great post!
