Beware – all who enter here. Come with good intentions or taste good with BBQ – either way. I love the Chinese #chimera statues ❤💕 Very majestic looking, but I also feel they would be friendly!

Door to the Past

Posted in Uncategorized by deceptivelyblonde

There were a few hundred of these lovely doors (each painted a different way on top). The middle class and nicer neighborhoods in town are still in the old kinda #Traditional style with a big front Door to the courtyard and small rooms for the Family off the center. Very Awesome! And Beautiful artwork!

Gongyi Grotto

Posted in Building Exterior, China, Statues, Subject, Temples by deceptivelyblonde

#Gongyi #Grottos – one if 4 Famous grottos in #China. These are places where loyal #monks have carefully carved out thousand and millions of #buddhas and religious #statues into the walls of nearby #caves over CENTURIES! Unfortunately, many of the ones in Henan were destroyed during the #CulturalRevolution or were defaced by the Western militaries During the wars with #China. Still an amazing, awe-inspiring sight! Well worth the trip! Thanks to the Henan Provincial Tourism Bureau for sponsoring our trip today – it was lovely!
