terrible video
could you make it any shakier
just delete it
Oh hell no! I would love to see inside the church, but the risks are too high for me…literally. ๐
Don't go to this monastery on a fast day
Great to be there from my sofa
This place will be ruined soon enough. It used to be a religious destination strictly for the devoted. Now Western (and Chinese) tourists will list it as one of their "must sees" so they can share it on Facebook to impress their friends. (Lots of selfies, to be sure.) There is no respect, as indicated by the backwards baseball cap.
I couldn't do it. Just watching the video gives me anxiety.
Okay, so climbing up is not easy, what about climbing down or there is an hidden slide on the othe side ?
its amazing how those foot holds were formed, probably from people climbing them over and over again for thousands of years.
