Looks like the Bureau of Cultural Relics owned the land and didn't think much of it, considering the state it was in and the fact that there were only five monks there. Why not?

Btw, I'm in China and have no trouble accessing those pages.

That's such a shame. I'm not sure I knew where that temple was exactly. I've been all over Songshan, but don't recognize that one. Of course, there are plenty of small temples scattered across the mountain range that I'm sure I missed. Songshan is huge.

Good find, ngokfei.
