Introduction:
It is said that "Shaolin is the best martial arts in the world", not to mention China people who have been deeply influenced by Shaolin Kung Fu since childhood. Many international friends will also visit Shaolin Temple when they arrive in Henan. It is not only the holy land of Wulin in the world, but also the ancestral home of Zen. Take a picture of some classic martial arts models in Shaolin Temple, and the swords and shadows in the rivers and lakes seem to flash before your eyes.
Shaolin Temple complex mainly includes Tallinn, Chu Zuan and Damodang. Most tourists who leave Luoyang or Zhengzhou for Shaolin Temple will choose this route.
The layout of Shaolin Temple is a typical Han temple style with a symmetry axis. You can go straight after entering the mountain gate. The temple is not big, and the tour can be finished in an hour.
Tallinn, located about 400 meters west of Shaolin Temple, is the cemetery of Shaolin Temple monks after their death. There is a saying in Buddhism: "Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda", and the pagoda refers to the pagoda. Here, you can learn about the life of monks in Shaolin Temple.
Chu Zuan and Dharma Cave are also near Shaolin Temple, so you can go there on foot. The ancestral temple was built by the Song people to commemorate the ancestor Dharma, and Dharma Cave was the place where Dharma's ancestor Dharma faced the wall for nine years.
In the morning, according to the half-day tour schedule, first visit Shaolin Temple, and then go to Tallinn. About 5 minutes' walk from Tallinn is the Shaolin Cableway. After arriving at San Huang Zhai Station by cableway, it takes about 30 minutes to walk to the entrance of San Huang Zhai Scenic Area.
It takes at least 3-4 hours to visit San Huang Zhai Scenic Area. There are many strange geological landscapes in the scenic area, and the hanging plank road in Sanhuangzhai is not to be missed. Walking on the cliff plank road, there are towering cliffs on one side and towering cliffs on the other, which is a great test for both body and mind.
Shaolin Temple, Songyang Academy and Zhongyue Songshan are all in Dengfeng City. Visitors with enough time can buy a joint ticket for three places and visit in two days. On the first day, I went to Shaolin Scenic Area, and in the evening, I watched the live drama performance of Zen Buddhism Shaolin Music Ceremony. The next day, I went to Songyang and Zhongyue scenic spots, which are far away from Dengfeng city.
Nowadays, as an ordinary tourist, it is difficult to see the martial arts scenes of Shaolin monks in Shaolin Temple. However, visitors can go to the Shaolin Temple Martial Arts School, about 700 meters east of Shaolin Temple, and watch the Shaolin Kung Fu performance with the Shaolin Temple package.
The performance time is about 9:30, 10:30,1:30, 14:00, 15:00, 16:00,/kloc.
