The Longmen Grotto and kung fu performance at Shaolin Monastery were wonderful. A lot of walking and climbing but definitely rewarding.

Amazing experience

Elisabeth_L, Aug 2019
We had our tour on July 29, 2019. We were late and missed our original bullet train. Luckily, we exchanged tickets and got on the next bullet train. They waited for us at the station and picked us up. We had Priscilla as our tour guide and Mr. Gong as our driver. The car had air conditioning and Mr. Gong offered us bottles of water. Priscilla was very knowledgable and spoke very good English. At the Longmen Grottoes, she told us about the history of the grottoes, how different dynasties came and built/carved their own buddhist statues into the mountain wall. She explained the different styles of each dynasty. She mentioned Wu Zetian and how she commissioned the Fengxian cave buddha. At the Shaolin Temple, she talked about the history of the temple, the founder of the temple, how monks live in the temple, etc. We walked through the temple grounds, saw the pagoda forest, and caught the last Shaolin kung fu performance of the day! My partner and I walked at a fairly fast pace on that hot day, and she was good enough to keep up with us. She was also kind enough to search up information for my climb on Mount Huashan the next day while they were driving us back to the train station! I highly recommend getting this tour. It will make things so much easier. I had originally tried to plan this trip by relying on buses and taxis, it would have been too stressful. This was the best tour we had during our trip in China.

The tour was very well organized...

Desislava T, Dec 2017
The tour was very well organized, the guide and the driver met us at the train station andtook us directly to the Shaolin Monastery where we attended the kung-fu show, later we visited the temple side and went to the Pagoda forest. After that we went to the Longmen Grottoes. Unfortunately the guide was not very detailed in the information he was giving. In all cases i would recommend the tour because it saves you time but for me it was not fully satisfactory.
