Besides as a leadership program, Ulysses is also a program for recognizing culture diversity. As such, during the program we need to do cultural things. For this week end I planned to go to Song Shan and Shaolin Temple in Henan Province. You probabaly have known about Shaolin Temple which is very famous for its martial arts. Shaolin Temple is the place of origin of all the great Chinese martial arts.
We need to take train or bus to either Luoyang or Zhengzhou to to to Shaolin Temple. Unfortunately, we could not get the train ticket. We did not plan to take a bus since in China, it was raining cats and dogs for the past couple days therefore it was not safe to take a bus to go to other Province. As such, Xi Feng, Program Assistant SC and I went to Balihe - 50 km East to Fuyang. Kevin did not go since he was not feeling very well.
Balihe is a recreation place nearest to Fuyang. Many tourists from other China city such as Shanghai, Hefei or Jiangjing come to this place. The spot to see in this place can be classified into 4: Bird zoo, European miniature, China miniature and Zoo. Balihe is surrounding by a huge lake (see the pictures).
