It was an important centre of Buddhism. Oh, I see people caring goods and other materials. They may be on there way to the market to trade.I'm goin to follow them and see. Yes,I was right. They were on there way to the market. I think if I was to have to find the market, it would have taken me all day.We're here now though.They have have some very beautiful silk materials.
