Songshan Shaolin Temple, the charm of the thousand-year-old temple is irresistible. The incense in Shaolin Temple is very busy, and there are too many people, it seems to disturb its original tranquility. Songshan, Wuyue Zhongyue, has a great reputation, but this time, he hurriedly took the cable car to one side, but he couldn't see the whole picture. But it doesn't matter, the regret of travel is actually beautiful, and he can give me a reason to sting again.

For every Chinese, Shaolin Temple is like a thunder. The famous name of Shaolin Temple began in the early Tang Dynasty. In the troubled times, the Shaolin Temple thirteen sticks made a great contribution to the Qin Wang Li Shimin. They were rewarded by Emperor Taizong, and they were given thousands of hectares. Since then, Shaolin Temple has become famous in the world and has been hailed as the first brake in the world. Since then, the interpretation of Jin Yong's novels, the blessing of the movie "Shaolin Temple", has made this a martial arts holy place that the people of the world yearn for. Many people have not built it in person, and have built it many times in their imagination. Compassion is compassionate, broad and inclusive, martial arts is profound, and mysterious legends have become the impression of most people. The reputation of Shaolin Temple is really loud. The people who participate in the Buddha are from the bottom up. People hold incense sticks and pray in smog, seeking happiness and seeking marriage. Along the way, the ancient trees are towering, the building is sturdy, the buildings, murals and exquisite artifacts that have experienced the wind and rain, after years of accumulation, people can not be respected, and they are serious and sincere.

There are five famous mountains in China: Dongyue Taishan, Xiyue Huashan, Nanyue Hengshan, Beiyue Hengshan and Zhongyue Lushan. Although there is a saying that Huangshan is not coming back to see Yue, the Wuyue famous mountains still have their own unique wonders. After Zhou Ping Wang Dong moved to Luoyang, he set down Lushan as Zhongyue among the five yue. There is a boundary pillar under the Lushan Mountain. On the east side is the Proterozoic strata 2.5 billion years ago, and on the west side is the Paleozoic strata 540 million years ago. It seems that it can span 2 billion years in one step. The highest point of Lushan is 1512 meters, and the east is 60 kilometers. There are 72 peaks. There are many famous buildings under the Lushan Mountain. In addition to the Shaolin Temple we are familiar with, there are also Zhongyue Temple and Xiangyang. Academy, Fawang Temple, Daiyue Temple, etc. Lushan is not as spectacular as the Huangshan Mountain. The long-term geological evolution has formed a steep mountainous terrain with mountains, hills, basins and valley plains. Lushan is an important birthplace of Chinese civilization and a scenic spot in China. Among the first batch of world geoparks assessed by the United Nations, Lushan is one of them. If you come to Dengfeng, don't just go to Shaolin Temple. There are many beautiful scenery waiting for you in the world of Dengfeng.

Zhongyue Songshan is divided into two parts, Shaoshishan and Taishishan. Shaoshishan is more famous for its Shaolin Temple and unique landforms. Its highest peak is Liantian Peak (1,512 meters, also the highest peak in Songshan). However, Baidu says that "due to its dangerous terrain, it has never been developed to this day" and most people don't do it except for wild climbing. Therefore, there is no "mountaintop" to take photos when climbing Shaoshishan. According to the B&B owner's suggestion, we could enter Sanhuangzhai from Shaolin Temple to avoid the crowds. We set out in the morning before the scenic area opened at 8 a.m. Since we needed an ID card to buy tickets online, we could only buy them at the ticket office (tickets were ￥80). As soon as we entered the scenic area, we were shocked by the crowds of group tourists in the square in front of the entrance (it's not an exaggeration to say there were over a thousand people). We were afraid that Shaolin Temple would be closed in the afternoon, so we had to bite the bullet and follow the crowd. After watching the martial arts performance, we walked through Shaolin Temple and the Forest of Pagodas. We were finally able to get rid of the large crowds. However, probably because it was the weekend, there were still many people climbing the mountain. There are 36 peaks in Shaoshi Mountain. Because you don't climb to the top of the peak, but walk around the peaks. There are steps going up and down along the way that follow the undulating mountain. When you walk to the suspended plank road, you can see the important symbol of Shaoshi Mountain - the spectacular Book Cliff. After arriving at Sanhuangzhai, go down the mountain and take the scenic area bus (¥20, you have to walk 6k on the road, I chose to take the bus) back to the Sanhuangzhai Visitor Center, and then call the boss to take you back to the B&B. The actual hiking in Sanhuangzhai Scenic Area is about 5 hours. It seems steep, but it is not difficult to climb and it won't be too tiring. #AprilGoodDestinations2025

The experience was great👍 ·The trail is beautiful all the way up and you won't feel tired. On the contrary, the scenery of Shaolin Temple is not as beautiful as here and you will get tired easily. ⚠️Take a taxi from the exit of Shaolin Scenic Area to Sanhuangzhai parking lot, about 15 minutes and 30 yuan, very convenient - My travel route: Sanhuangzhai parking lot 🅿️➡️Take the shuttle bus for 20 yuan to Haohanpo (10 minutes by car.

The scenery is average on the way)➡️Sanhuangzhai Zen Temple (the one built on the cliff on the top of the mountain)➡️Suspension bridge➡️Shuce Cliff➡️Tizigou (you can take the cable car directly to Shaolin Temple at the foot of the mountain) You can also go down the mountain with gurgling streams and trees covering the sky➡️Pagoda Forest➡️Shaolin Temple➡️Take a taxi at the door to Sanhuangzhai parking lot to pick up the car ⚠️The whole journey takes about 5 hours, 12km and 600m elevation (it will be much faster to take the cable car down the mountain for 70 yuan) - If there are elderly or children at home, my suggestions are: Enter from Shaolin Temple Scenic Area (expected to visit for 1-2 hours)➡️Ropeway up the mountain➡️Visit Shuce Cliff (1 hour)➡️Ropeway down the mountain➡️(Shuttle bus 15 yuan) Scenic area gate - ⚠️Friends who often go hiking outdoors will inevitably encounter some injuries, such as slips and abrasions, punctures by foreign objects such as branches, scratches and bites by wild animals, and even injuries caused by heavy objects such as rocks. In addition to first aid for these injuries, attention should also be paid to preventing tetanus. Many friends do not pay enough attention to it, thinking that tetanus only occurs when being pierced by a nail. In fact, the outdoor environment is complex, and the wound is easily contaminated after injury. If not handled properly, there is a potential risk of tetanus infection. Clostridium tetani🦠 is widely present in nature. Once the skin or mucous membrane is damaged and comes into contact with soil and manure, there is a risk of infection. Tetanus toxin is particularly toxic, and a small amount of toxin can bring extremely serious consequences. Here we call on friends to take protective measures when playing outdoors to prevent accidents.

It was really exciting to climb for four and a half hours. I took pictures and enjoyed the scenery. The view from the top of the mountain was really spectacular. ps: (The wind is really huge and cold, wearing a hat and mask and shivering) 3⃣️Attention attention⚠️⚠️⚠️ 📍Be sure to buy a climbing stick at the door, usually three yuan is really useful (supporting me when my legs are countless times without strength) 📍If you want to go back to school or catch a train after climbing in the afternoon, don't go down the mountain along the Luyao Waterfall route, you will walk to collapse and your legs will tremble, just go back the same way, walking the Luyao Waterfall route is really pure climbing, basically no attractions. 📍After arriving, take a taxi directly back, you have already completed the up and down mountain journey, the road behind is a normal road, it is already very dark around six o'clock, don't mind walking to the ticket check again, because there are at least four kilometers left, it takes about an hour, basically all are by taxi, at that time your physical and emotional limits have been reached. 4⃣️Total cost 228 (and friends two people taxi accommodation aa) Fare 102💰+ taxi 22💰 (we went to Dayu City for dinner after going down the mountain) Accommodation: two nights aa after 56💰 📍Eating: Friday and Saturday night snail powder milk tea big chicken plate 112 (friends please me hehe don't let me spend money) + Saturday climbing bread mineral water 25 + Sunday morning Zhengzhou East Square opposite a small rice porridge set meal 13 📍Other: hat sunglasses climbing stick 48 ps: (Don't buy sunglasses in the supermarket near the passenger center for 27 yuan, the price is only 20) Songshan entrance five yuan one I really cry ah ah ah 🌎🌎🌎 📍The meaning of climbing mountains I understand, in addition to being able to harvest the scenery along the way. You can also constantly surpass yourself in physical fitness and endurance. Once you choose to hike up the mountain, there is no way back, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, you must grit your teeth and step forward until you see the scenery on the top of the mountain. Only when people calm down can they know what they want, and they can find a very magical power in nature. Mountain climbing can test a lot of things: human patience, tenacity, physical fitness and willpower. This is just like life, life is a process of constantly climbing upwards, calmly facing various challenges.

If you've ever read a martial arts novel, there's probably no one who doesn't know Shaolin Temple. And the place where Shaolin Temple is located is Songshan.. Songshan is the center of the Five Sacred Mountains and is one of the most famous mountains in China.. The mountain range, which is layered and densely packed like a wafer, gives off a very unique feeling. When you take the cable car to the climbing path, what awaits you next is a tremendous uphill and downhill.. Be prepared for physical hardship as the mountain range is beautiful.. And about halfway through, a monkey named Sun Wukong will pop out. If you take a commemorative photo with him, he'll ask for money, so just ignore him. ^^ #China #ChinaTravel #Songshan #FiveSacredMountains #Trekking

Listening to Dad, there is a very popular TV series in his youth called "Shaolin Temple". Many teenagers are obsessed with this. They buy martial arts books and practice together. They go to the graves at night to practice their daring. maximum. I was amazed that the influence of a TV series was so great that Dad remembered the details more than 30 years ago. Shaolin should be a man's cult of power. Shaolin is a kind of spirit, a kind of heroic. After visiting Shaolin Temple and Tallinn, you can go to the Shaolin show. I thought that we arrived very early. I didn't expect that there were a lot of tourists there. Everyone was driving in the moment, we were arbitrarily shoved in the crowd, and even some people were maliciously pushing, the scene was really Terrible, I was even pushed to the ground, but fortunately I found a foothold in the end, just seeing the back. Although the heat is crowded, the performance is really wonderful, everyone is really hardworking. fare: 100 yuan, student ticket 50 yuan traffic: take the bus at Dengfeng bus station, the fare is 3 yuan. Take a taxi 30 yuan Shaolin tips: a. Shaolin Temple's kungfu performance is worth a visit, not to be missed. Arrive as early as possible before the performance, otherwise there will be no location, people are really many. b. It is not possible to take photos with apricot trees for more than 1,500 years. It is not possible to take a photo with Tallinn. These are all on the Internet, and I have heard the explanations of the tour guides. Although there are superstitions of suspicion, I would rather be credible.

There is a Shaolin Temple in Henan, which is well known. Because I have been filming, I often appear in martial arts novels, so I am very famous. Not far from Shaolin Temple, there is a larger ancient architectural complex, which has a longer history than Shaolin Temple and there are not many people to visit. is in the same city as Denglin Temple in Dengfeng City. Zhongyue Temple has a history of more than 2,000 years. Zhongyue Temple is relatively close to Dengfeng City, only 4 kilometers. The predecessor of Zhongyue Temple was Taizuo, which existed in the Western Han Dynasty. In the Zhongyue Temple, there are many ancient trees. There are more than 330 ancient cypresses from the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. These large ancient trees have nameplates, which record the age of the tree. There are also many trees over 3,000 years old. The area of Zhongyue Temple is about 110,000 square meters, almost twice the area of Shaolin Temple. This is the largest ancient architectural complex in Henan Province. Iron Man is a rare treasure of Zhongyue Temple. There are four iron people in the Zhongyue Temple. They were cast in the Northern Song Dynasty and have a history of nearly a thousand years. It is said that the locals believe that the iron man has the effect of curing the disease. Where there is pain in the body, it is better to touch the corresponding part of the iron man. In 2010, the historical buildings in the world were included in the World Cultural Heritage, including the Zhongyue Temple and Shaolin Temple and a total of eight other historical buildings.
