in case you don’t know: munich, capitol of bavaria and the city were i work, has a chinese tower. built 1789, it nowadays is the center of a beer garden. absence of abstinence in my case not only leads to a certain inclination towards beer, but also to chinese roof constructions. the fu-zi temple area in this respect was a treasure trove, whilst the chinese beer i experienced as not really convincing.

the temple is surrounded by a number of buildings from the imperial times, besides a museum many of those houses now host shops for gifts and souvenirs.
