Wall45 The exit pillars from the Sacred Way. There were two of these flanking the exit. Had a strong feeling of similarity to Totems. Obviously some common ancient influences there taken in different directions over the millenia. This is the end of my China journey! I hope you enjoyed it. It was an amazing time. Definitely want to go back and see more of this country, getting into other regions in the west. Wall45
