Shaolin Monastery
The interest in Kung Fu has led visitors to step into the temple where schooled martial arts started.
Among all the caves, two stand out to me. I am impressed not only by the scale of the Longmen Grottoes, but also by the attention to detail apparent everywhere. After enjoying the sculptures, we step onto a bridge that spans the river. Even on the sides of the bridge are intricately carved Buddhas and lotus flowers.
