Pathfinder Episode 31: The Abandoned Horse Fairy Temple

🌸 Beijing, Fangshan. The Horse Fairy, also known as Ma's Celestial, Ma Yuanjun, etc., has been a local deity worshiped around Zherong since ancient times, and is known as one of the 'Three Great Goddesses of Fujian' along with Mazu and Chen Jinggu. 🌸 I just love these abandoned worship places with a sense of age, where statues are mixed with wild mountain caves... The statues are made of clay and painted on the outside. The overall proportions and details are quite exquisite, but the style and connotation are hard to express: The main statue is naked, with muscular and beautiful body, with two horns on the forehead, I don't know which story it comes from. 🌸 From basic information positioning navigation, searching, orienteering to finally reaching the cave, the process is interesting, with faith, difficult to find, but not despairing. It's really a good choice to relax and decompress in your spare time.
