The Golden Monk, Zhangzhou

Okay, this is The Golden Monk of Zhangzhou- who died when he was 116 and then they dried his body and dipped him in liquid gold to preserve him. I know it sounds crazy and being there is kind of creepy. 

I think I'm going to change my will to include instructions for dipping my dead body in gold. How cool would it be to be creeping people out for years after you die. haha.
