On Saturday July 7th we headed to Tang Paradise a park devoted to the history and spirit of the the Tang Dynasty. This park is south of Xi’An and about a 40 minute ride from Zhong Lou circle on the K609 bus that was comfortably air conditioned. As we entered the park there was a Kung Fu demonstration. Below man is suspended on three spears. Do not try this at home!
Later in our visit We encountered another martial arts show. These young men were both agile and acrobatic. I caught several images of the men in the air here are a couple!
There is so much water and statuary dedicated to the poets of the the time and both the leaders and women. There were so many Lotus Flowers as well as Water Lilies in many of the streams and ponds throughout the park. The flat light did not provide a nice sky however it was great for soft light on the plant life and statuary. All images have only received minimum processing in Lightroom 4.1.
