High up on the rocky facade of Mount Song in China, something incredible is happening. Home to the Shaolin Temple, the “Central Great Mountain” is culturally significant to the Chinese people, Buddhists in particular. And there, the Shaolin monks practice their kung fu — only they do it on a cliff overlooking a 4,921 foot drop. Perched cautiously over the edge (sometimes even on the rails), these monks defy gravity for their practice. The photos are nerve-wracking, but will almost certainly take your breath away.
