 > Taoist statues on the way to Dragon's Gate (longmen).
 > JN, our guide, and yet another of the sets of steps that we had to tackle.
 > The rooftop of one of the pavillons - built high on a mountain side.
 > Another doorway and another set of steps.  It may look easy going, but when you first arrive, and still need to get used to the altitude, its quite a challenge!
 > More steps, all, apparently, painstakingly hewn out of rock by a monk hanging by iron chains, chiselling away.
 > A view of Kunming - the pace of development is phenomenal.
 > There was still a long ways to go...
 > This is what the cliffs and the mountain side looks like.  Its mind boggling to think that someone would look at this and say, "why don't I go chisel a couple of thousand steps in the stone with a little chisel and a couple of dozen of years?"
 > The final sets of steps or so, leading to longmen.
