great idea!.

but i think it would be kinda frustrating to make!. but if you have time then it's fine!. As for the temple it would definately be hard to make!. The DETAILS are important!. Intricate shapes and sculptures of chinese buddhist temples are hard!.

some ideas:
- tea leaves
- gold ignots
- dragons
- emperors, concubines
- rice paper
- compass( they invented the compass)
- gunpowder( they invented as well)
- mystical creatures like Nian ( a terrorizing beast on Chinese New Year)Www@QuestionHome@Com
