Shaolin Monastery (少林寺) and Pagoda Forest (Henan, 河南)

Being a martial art fan, I had to go here too. I did not expect much, and actually you don't get much. I-m not the only fan... The monastery is heavily exploited for tourism, and the entrance to the site looks more like the entrance to a stadium than to a historic site.

I was lucky, however. It was raining, a heavy storm, water pouring all over. So there were no tourists! I had the place almost for myself!

Nearby, I visited the Pagoda Forest. Each pagoda
seems to be related to a master. Among them, I found a
rather interesting one. The drawings included a kung-fu practice
scene as well as a Laptop!!
