There certainly have been a lot of Buddhists killed in China over the centuries. This group of persecuted Buddhists built shrines in caves and in carved grottoes. There are thousands of carvings.
Lunch. We paid about $3.50 each.
Chinese tourists in the hanging monastery.
What you're not gonna see here are the incredible Buddha figures in the various rooms, as they ask that people not photograph them.

This is the incredible hanging monastery. At some point an emperor was persecuting the Buddhists, so one group ran for the hills, or rather, this mountain, where they build their monestary at this impossible height. Very cool.
