Despite 39 C heat last weekend the Yunju Buddhist Temple in the southwest of Beijing received a record number of visitors.
Yun Guirong, director of the administration of cultural relics at Yunju Temple, said there were 10,000 visitors a day, compared with the usual hundreds.
The influx is because of the Buddha sarira (or sheli in Chinese) that were found in the cremation ashes of Shakyamuni. The exhibition opened on June 23 and closes today.
