Miss Tourism hopefuls study at Shaolin By Zhang Dongya The 115 Miss Tourism International 2008 finalists visited the Shaolin Temple in the Songshan Mountains, Henan Province, Wednesday. The group watched a 10-minute kung fu demonstration by temple monks, and then was divided into six groups for
brief lessons. Olga Zarubina from Russia, last year’s Miss Tourism champion, was present. The Shaolin temple was the group’s last stop in Zhengzhou. It went on to travel through Kaifeng, Luoyang and other Henan cities. CFP Photo
