Martial arts center conjures kung fu 'magic'

ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico - The southwestern US state of New Mexico boasts its stuccoed constructions, among which one building stands out.

Located in Albuquerque, the largest city in the state, the Chinese Culture Center is constructed of reinforced concrete, radiating grandeur.

In the main hall stand various instruments of wushu, a synonym in Chinese pronunciation of kung fu or martial arts, and a placard on the wall clearly states the philosophy, rules and etiquette of martial arts.
