Coming back from the whole day of ‘templing’ we strayed away from the path leading from Cifu Si towards the village of Taihuai. On the forest foothills west of the village we came upon local cemetery – white pagodas of different sizes spread on the terraces in the forest. Just near by there was a group of locals burning a bonfire, sitting next to it, eating, talking… No western taboos about the death – dead and alive, ancient and contemporary coexisting and living one next to another.
