I have never had a chance to travel to Hangzhou to see Yue Fei's tomb, but I have seen scans of small sections of the murals painted inside. Does anyone have detailed digital photos of all the paintings, preferably those that show the entire painting and not just a small section of it?

Those are some awesome pictures! Aren't there more murals than just the one of him and his mother and him on horseback? I remember seeing a photo of one that shows him drawing a bow. I think all of the photos are illustrations from the Shuo Yue Quan Zhuan, right?

I've seen other photos of the big, black metal Yue statue. It's huge!

Wow. I had never seen an actual picture of the kneeling statues in front of Fei's tomb, so this is a first for me. Great wall paintings, too.

The kneeling statues seem much cleaner than I expected. After being spitted and pissed on for centuries, whoever cleaned them did a mighty good job.

How old are the paintings inside. I doubt they could be really old, the style looks modern, probably of last century.
