Trick in some Buddhism Monasteries

When visiting some Buddhism Monasteries in Lijiang,be aware of the trick played by the fake Monks!

Such kind of monasteries usually located in the tourist attractions, the "Monk" will welcome you to come inside,and give you incense first,ask you to pray to the Buddha status,then may give you something for "gift",most of the time could be a wooden bracelet. Finally,they will ask you to donate a big amount of money into the donation box. The two notorious Monastery,one is to the right of the Five Phenix Pavillion in Black Dragon Pool Park of Lijiang,the other one is on a mountain called Xionggu Gateway,which is halfway from Lijiang to Tiger Leaping Gorge,where most tourists will stop there for sometime to see the view of the big snow Mountain and the Yangtze River.
