1. Zhengzhou
Start your exclusive Shaolin journey with ultimate convenience: our professional guide and driver will pick you up directly from your hotel in Zhengzhou at your preferred time. They will greet you warmly, briefly introduce the day’s niche itinerary, and then we’ll head to Shaolin Temple—approximately a 1.5-hour drive, allowing you to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. During the drive, your knowledgeable guide will immerse you in the profound history of Shaolin Temple: as the cradle of Chinese Kung Fu and a prestigious World Cultural Heritage site, it has a history of over 1,500 years, witnessing the integration of Buddhism and martial arts, and being the birthplace of Shaolin Kung Fu that has shocked the world. This pre-tour explanation will let you have a comprehensive understanding of Shaolin’s origin and cultural connotation, laying a perfect foundation for your on-site visit.
2. Monastero Shaolin (Shaolin Temple)
Upon arrival, we will arrange your visit according to the Kung Fu performance schedule. You will watch an authentic, intimate Shaolin Kung Fu performance, where Shaolin disciples will showcase breathtaking martial arts moves: agile fist techniques, powerful weapon skills, flexible Qigong displays, and the unique hard qigong that has been passed down for centuries. Every move is full of strength and precision, interpreting the essence of Shaolin Kung Fu, and you can feel the charm of this ancient martial art up close. Afterwards, follow your guide to explore the core area of Shaolin Temple. You will visit the iconic Hall of Heavenly Kings, where you can admire the majestic Buddha statues and the exquisite ancient carvings, listening to the guide tell the legendary stories behind each hall; then walk into the Main Hall, feeling the solemn and sacred atmosphere of Buddhism, appreciating the precious cultural relics and murals that record the history of Shaolin.

3. Pagoda Forest of Shaolin Temple
Next, we will go to the Pagoda Forest, the third part of Shaolin Temple and a unique cultural landmark. With a history of over 1,000 years, it is the largest and best-preserved pagoda forest in China, where each pagoda is a tombstone for Shaolin abbots and eminent monks, recording their lifelong achievements and the development of Shaolin Buddhism. You will wander among the 230-odd pagodas of different shapes and sizes, admire the exquisite architectural art of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and listen to the guide explain the historical background and cultural significance of each pagoda—this is a rare opportunity to understand the development of Shaolin Buddhism and ancient Chinese pagoda architecture.

The masters will teach you basic and authentic Shaolin Kung Fu stances, fist techniques and simple moves, with one-on-one guidance, correcting your movements patiently, letting you personally feel the discipline, strength and philosophy behind Shaolin Kung Fu, and leaving you with a unique and unforgettable memory. We also include a delicious local lunch for you—you can choose a vegetarian lunch or a common local meal.
