Shaolin | 4-Day Tour to Shaolin Temple+Longmen Grottoes

China probably has the world's longest and most diverse martial arts heritage. In fact, the Chinese consider our martial arts firmly rooted in the pre-historical age, during a time of conflict between humans and animals, and then primitive tribal warfare.

From countless battles, experience was accumulated and techniques discovered which were passed down from generation to generation.

With the development of materials and weapons so new fighting techniques were created, and different Chinese schools and styles originated and competed with one another.

The world famous Shaolin kung fu style, tied to the Buddhist Shaolin Temple in Henan Province's Song Shan Mountains, today refers to a collection of Chinese martial arts. Of the tens of thousands of kung fu styles, several hundred do, in fact, have some relationship to Shaolin - however, aside from a few very well known systems, such as the Shaolin Five Animal, 108 Movements of the Wooden Man Hall, Enchanted Staff, and White Eyebrow, it is almost impossible to establish a verifiable connection to the Temple for any one particular style.

Shaolin Temple itself has a venerable history. According to one of China's oldest administrative books, a Buddhist monk name Batuo came to China preach in 464 CE Thirty-one years later, in 495 CE, Shaolin Temple was built by order of Emperor Wei Xiao Wen (471-500 CE) for him to teach from. Batuo can therefore be considered the first chief monk of Shaolin Temple, although there is no record of how or when he died, or exactly what he preached.

More influential than Batuo in Shaolin's development was an Indian monk named Da Mo, believed to have been born around 483 CE. Da Mo was invited to China to preach by Emperor Liang Wu (516-528 CE), but when the emperor decided he didn't like Da Mo's Buddhist theory, the monk wisely retreated to Shaolin Temple.

Shaolin Temple is situated in the foothills of the Song Shan mountain range just fifteen minutes outside the town of Dengfeng, which is about two hours from Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province. Buses run from Zhengzhou and Luoyang, another larger Henan city, to Dengfeng. Alternatively, if you are staying in Zhengzhou or Luoyang, you can arrange a day tour from your hotel. Including a brief hike in the mountains and a visit to Bodhidharma's cave there is enough to keep visitors occupied for a whole day.

Temple opening hours: 8am - 5.30pm, all year (there are various shows at different times during the day, so we are advisable to arrive early)
