Does anyone know the actual size of that famous mural/painting in Shaolin Temple showing monks practicing kung fu? Where can I get a high-res digital version of it? I have a 10-foot wide blank wall that is begging to be adorned...

There are actually four murals in White Garment Hall (Baiyi Dian) in Shaolin Temple. They are over 10 feet across, one on either side wall of an altar to Guanyin, and two smaller ones flanking the actual altar wall itself. Each depicts Shaolin monks in action. One of the flanking ones depicts the rescue of Li Shinmin and the other Jinnaluo. For a complete description, see The Frescoes of White Garment Hall By Jin Qin in our Shaolin Special 2005 (May+June).

This program presents the wonderful picture of dancers entering the world of murals and competing with monks, and shows the rich culture of Shaolin kung fu. It takes murals from Shaolin Temple in Central China's Henan province as its prototype, resurrected murals via XR technologies.
Mainly filmed in the Shaolin Temple, the show featured four different scenes, namely, "Wind, Fire, Forest and Mountain", to present the magic of Chinese kung fu. The inheritance and development of kung fu is also shown through interactions between dancers, monks and today's youth.
It's part of Henan Satellite TV's special program for the Mid-Autumn Festival, "Mid-Autumn Wonderful Tour".
