It’s been a while since we had the opportunity to travel given everything that has been going on – so here is a throw-back to better times and more open borders. This was a young student of China’s Wushu style fighting participating in a festival for the Henan Cultural Tourism festival in 2017. They put on a wonderful performance!
Henan is home to the Shaolin Temple – made famous in Jackie Chan’s films and the center of Chinese Kungfu or “Wushu.” The monks did a performance for the Henan Tourism Festival!
Look carefully, and you’ll see the Chinese lanterns in the background – I thought this was a cool photo. These are performing Chinese students of Wushu from the Shaolin Temple during the biennial Wushu Festival.
