Pictures of Shaolin Temple

Shaolin Temple was the other tour we wanted to take before we met Dawson.  I had heard about it when we saw them perform in Omaha a couple years back.  So, we took the 2-hour ride to Dengfeng County where there are many Kung Fu schools.

Every so often there were these "sculptures" that were functional.

 

I would assume they could have a lesson here.
