Heming,
Is it still snowing in Henan?
Ciao 
Does anyone know other good Shaolin sites?
Yes it’s still snowing in Shaolin…
Dear Xiao Long, today it’s warmer again, the trees in Shaolin are truning to green now and birds come back to Song mountains…but just 3 days before, it was still snowing…this year it was snowed for 6 times in Shaolin Temple and monk masters told me that such a big snow can only be seen in every 15 years, hehehe…wish you love those photos I took, let me know what kind of image you wish to have and I will post more for you my friend!
Heming, Shaolin Temple
Thanx Heming.
I would like to see some photo’s from the streets near Shaolin. Last time when I visited (august) they were breaking down the buildings. A lot of trash all around. Not a nice site at that time.
Greetings!
Heming

That looks hella cold. Most buildings at Shaolin are uninsulated and the heaters generally don’t work (when there are heaters). Thanks for sharing! When were those taken exactly?
it does indeed look cold
Cold 
My @** was freezing…hahaaaaa..It was really cold and no heating…This was my towel a few hours later after washing myself a bit..
These pics were taken beginning of february…
Ok…some ore than 
Villagers house Lot of houses around the temple..and elsewhere are simular like these. They look ok but mostely it’s a big mess inside
Inside temple this is the entrance before You enter the courtyard where the abbot’s room is located…
Pagoda above tamo cave nobody there…just the snow and wind…very strange feeling i must say
What beautiful pics
Thanks for sharing, xiao! You actually got me to laugh out loud with that frozen towel pic. Looks like it was a hard winter for Shaolin this year. How long were you there? Did you get a nice shot of Tamo’s cave in the snow? Did the snow turn red?
Hey gene,
I do have a nice shot of the damo cave…somewhere…But it was just a little too cold for me to take my sword and cut of my arm…hahaaaa…
You know , I saw a pic of you in a shaolin special (can’t remember witch one) at the damo cave with a stone head next to your lovely face…Well they gave that face a special place now next to the cave…Any idea who’s head is that…
Some of those pics look so cold that I’m not sure if Viagra could help me right now.

Well, I salute your kung fu for even attempting to climb to the cave in that kind of weather. I’ve been on that peak during rainstorms and it is quite slippery when wet - quite dangerous really. Shaolin can get nasty in the winters - talk about hardships!
As for that head, it’s one of a set of three. We ran a pic of the three restored statues in our 2003 Shaolin Special in my Publisher’s note. The severed head picture is a favorite among many for some unknown reason; we ran that in our 2002 Shaolin Special after they were first dismantled, so the restored heads pic in the following Shaolin special was called for. Lovely face indeed! Anyway, I’m told that the statues represent Tamo’s three male disciples, Huike, Daoyu and Zongchi. I’m not sure why his female disciple, Minglian, is omitted from this group. Perhaps because she is honored with her own temple, Yongtai nunnery, near Shaolin. Or perhaps because she was considered the least progressed of the four (Buddhism has always been hard on the fairer sex historically). Of course, Huike has his own temple too, Erzuan. Maybe I’ve just been misinformed about those three statues, but I’ve heard that they represent Tamo’s disciples from several sources.
china in the winter with no heat. i had it easy with the rooms only being 30/35 degrees at night then. looks like you had fun.
