Turn left on to Dongtai Road. At the next intersection, turn right on Zizhong Road, then left
on to Ji'an Road to soak up some genuine lane neighbourhood atmosphere. On the southw-
est corner of Ji'an Road and Fuxing Road, you may see paper models of fully furnished
houses for sale. These are burned at funerals to ensure that one's ancestors are comfortable
in the afterlife.
On the east side of the street, the Fa Zang Temple 3 [map] (Fa Zang Si; 271 Ji'an Road;
daily 7am-4pm; charge), built in 1932, is probably the only Chinese Buddhist temple any-
where that incorporates Western architectural elements in its design.
