Some folks were doing Buddhist chants in the park, so I took another video:

We walked around together for a while, he showed me the different temples, many of which were undergoing reconstruction:

The old city wall, they say it’s from the Western Han-Dynasty (西汉 206BC - 9AD).

…

Another thing - many people have been talking about weird colorful phenomena in the sky lately, especially before the earthquakes.

Well, here is a little one that I saw yesterday at 2pm:

14:04, to be precise.
