About three o'clock we stop at Yuet Shing (Glad City). This is a iquiet country village, doing very little business, and would be of no 49 importance at all but for a famous temple which has been built here to the mother of the dragon and called the Lung Mo Miu. This temple is a very imposing structure The Lung with its many stone-paved courtyards, where- Mo Miu. in are many strange structures, consisting of a roof, supported by granite pillars, fantasti- cally shaped and surmounted by a fine p...iece of stucco work covered with small clay and china figures, said to represent some mytho- logical scene. All along the top of the roofs of the main building are many more such scenes, whilst dolphins, dragons, etc , of bright chinaware gaily disport themselves on the ridge-poles. The outer gate is guarded by two colossal figures, one on either hand, fully fifteen feet high. Passing through this, we come to the main courtyard, in the centre of which stands a small artificial pond. On either side are smaller courts ; that on the left has a building at either end which are used as school-rooms for the native children.
