Departing from Luoyang! One-day complete guide to Shaolin Temple

🚗 Depart from Luoyang at 7 AM, 1.5 hours direct to Shaolin Temple! This is the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism➕the holy land of Kung Fu, a national 5A scenic spot that truly lives up to its reputation~ 🗺️My walking route: Scenic area entrance → The No.1 Famous Temple Archway in the World → Martial Arts Hall → Shaolin Temple → Pagoda Forest → Cableway up Mount Song → Sanhuang Village ‼️Key points: Shaolin Temple is very close to the Pagoda Forest, and it’s only about 10 minutes from the Pagoda Forest to the cableway! After taking the cableway up, you can continue to challenge Shuce Rock and the Suspension Bridge. If you have good stamina, be sure to walk all the way to the Sanhuang Zen Courtyard! ⏰Time arrangement: 6-7 hours for the whole trip plus 3 hours round trip, a one-day tour is completely sufficient! We hired Driver Liu’s car, self-driving friends can also use this as a reference~ 📸Must-check-in spots: 1️⃣ The central axis of Shaolin Temple with seven halls, feel the thousand-year Zen and martial arts atmosphere (about 1 hour) 2️⃣ The Pagoda Forest standing quietly with tomb pagodas from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, solemn and majestic (30 minutes) 3️⃣ Take the cableway to Mount Song, the steep peaks and strange rocks resemble an ink painting scroll 🍜Food tips: The “Taste of Home” restaurant inside the temple offers an affordable set meal for 35 yuan, and there are snack stalls along the way~ It’s recommended to bring your own snacks and water! ❄️Winter reminder: It’s much colder on the mountain than in the city! Down jackets are a must, and wear non-slip shoes
