The peak of the hills/mountains to the south of Kunming are home to an amazing array of caves, carvings and walkways built by monks about 400 years ago. After a beautiful 2 hour walk to the summit (see the flower photo blog for some images) we encountered the 'Sky Village', the translation of the sign below:
The two photos below give an indication of how the 'sky village' hangs over the picturesque green lake (I didn't ask why it is green):
This is an example of the work they did within the caves.
And these were our friends for the day - met us atop a mountain, shared heir horse-drawn carriage, and then assisted us to understand the site. We were very grateful!
Very impressive!
