Have they finished all the building work there! The place is on huge.Sent from my SM-T211 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiddlesticks Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Hi Gary, Yes, it appears to be complete as there are no signs of construction. From what I understand, it is a school for novices but in more the Chinese style. The students wear the orange robe but shorter and with orange, fill length pants as well. Looks more like orange kungfu garb actually. Anyway, a very interesting site and worth a look-see. Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sceadugenga Posted April 7, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2014 We stopped at the temple associated with the prominent limestone outcrop near the prison. I'm still not sure how to get to the top, the way we tried lead to a cave. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sceadugenga Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 My friends GPS informed us that we could continue on the northern side of the river from the new bridge to Fang, a distance of 135km so we left it for another day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
