Mount Song Shaolin ||| Secret Manual Guide
||| Secret Manual Guide. Mount Song is in the Zhongyue area, which has many scenic spots, and many people can't distinguish the relationship between Shaolin Temple, Songyang Scenic Area, and Mount Song. Here is a breakdown for everyone.
Mount Song is a concept of a mountain range, and all the above scenic areas are located on Mount Song. Mount Song has many peaks, and currently, the more significant ones are Shaoshi Mountain and Taishi Mountain, so remember these two first.
Mount Song is said to be the first uplift on Earth to emerge from the sea level. The area is geologically ancient and has a long history. We can divide it into two major scenic areas: the Shaolin Temple-Sanhuang Village Scenic Area on Shaoshi Mountain, and the Songyang Scenic Area on Taishi Mountain.
Shaolin Temple-Sanhuang Village is a bundled scenic spot, with Shaolin Temple being the cultural landscape of Shaoshi Mountain and Sanhuang Village being the natural landscape. The Songyang Scenic Area also has many attractions, mainly for climbing to the peak of Junji, and other cultural spots include Songyang Academy, Songyue Temple Pagoda, and Dafawang Temple.
It takes at least one day to visit each of these two scenic areas, two days if you want to explore them fully, or three days if you take it slower.
The play method for Shaolin Temple-Sanhuang Village is as follows:
If you don't want to go to Sanhuang Village to see the mountains, you can just visit Shaolin Temple. If you buy a round-trip shuttle bus ticket, it takes 1-2 hours. Mainly visit the monks' living quarters, Chuzu An, and the Pagoda Forest.
Shaolin Temple is the monks' living quarters, the main temple complex. The Pagoda Forest is the cemetery of monks from past generations. It's a 5-minute walk from Shaolin Temple. Chuzu An is a temple commemorating the Patriarch Bodhidharma, a Song dynasty wooden structure, and the oldest wooden structure in Henan. It requires about a 15-20 minute walk, starting from the direction of the Bodhidharma Cave. Note that there is a section under construction here, but it does not affect the visit; just follow the signs from Shaolin Temple towards the Pagoda Forest and look for the Bodhidharma Cave sign, which doesn't indicate Chuzu An, but after walking 300 meters, you will see signs for it. It takes about 1 hour to walk up to the Bodhidharma Cave. Walking only.
There are two cable cars at Shaolin Temple, one is the Shaolin cable car to Sanhuang Village, and the other is the Songyang mini cable car that can only be reached by cable car to Erzu An. Erzu An is not very interesting and can be skipped. Sanhuang Village is quite steep, with nice natural scenery. Refer to picture 8 for the visiting time.
【Shaolin Temple Pitfall Avoidance】 For self-driving, do not navigate to the Shaolin Scenic Area parking lot, as this is not the official one, and it's 4 kilometers away from the entrance of the scenic area. You can navigate to the Shaolin Temple Garan Hall, which is the parking lot.
If you also want to go to the Songyang Scenic Area, be sure to buy an annual pass, which costs 150 for non-locals and includes almost all the scenic spots in the Mount Song area. The more you visit, the more worthwhile it is.
Songyang Scenic Area Play Method
There is no cable car in the Songyang Scenic Area, and the entrance can be navigated to Songyang Academy. There are two eco-car routes here, one going to Dafawang Temple and Songyang Temple Pagoda, both of which are national key cultural relics protection sites, suitable for those who like cultural attractions, with a walking distance of 3-4 kilometers. The other is to Taishi Mountain Square for climbing to the peak of Junji, which can save some time for the summit. The one-way ticket for each is 15 per person. Songyang Academy does not require an eco-car, just a 200-meter walk.
Junji Peak is the main peak of Mount Song at 1491 meters, with about 5 kilometers of mountain trails one way, taking 2-3 hours one way depending on individual fitness.
The New Year's Eve, all people, messy, the whole Shaolin Temple is actually newly built, the original was destroyed in the fire, except for the inscription and Talinn, there are no antiquities, halfway there is an indoor martial arts performance, no effort
I saw Shaolin Temple and found an explanation, which was very beneficial. Many incenses inside can be free of charge, and you can also donate incense money according to your actual situation. It is not too tired to take a car to sightseeing, and there are martial arts performances, and interact with the audience.
Been there a few times when I was young! ! ! Later, I grew up and I didn't have any impression! ! ! Now I revisit the old place again, and I can't help but feel the changes! ! ! Beautiful scenery, perfect facilities, first-class service, and a heavy historical culture are really amazing! ! !
How to say it, it feels normal, take a photo at the door, the monument forest is quite beautiful, it is almost clearing, the inside is full of white yellow, the photo is not suitable. Let's talk about Shangshaoshi Mountain. Tourists who have not gone must be optimistic (knock on the blackboard): Go to Sanhuangzhai to take the cable car. The normal cable car that bought tickets today is fully enclosed, 100 round trips. When I was about to go up the mountain, I first encountered a cable car, a high house number, or an elevator archway. It looked quite formal. I didn’t look at the ticket and let me go in. I went in and took pictures for free. Of course, it must be expensive to come out. The biggest problem is that it looks a bit broken after entering. The railings are also very old, the sign says two people and one car, I think the cable car is so small? Look at the old-fashioned cable car semi-closed small cable car, the ticket inspector does not look at the ticket first said: you come to me and you said (I heard it is not good) She said that the cable car ticket was bought wrong, their cable car is 120, I bought 100, must buy again or make up 20, I said: what about the 100 cable car? She said: 100 cable cars are all climbing mountains, but still far away. I firmly do not take her cable car, she said: You are up. I said: It is not a big deal. I go down. Going 40 meters ahead of the door is the ticket gate of the rail cable car. It is really too good to cut off passengers halfway. Don't be fooled. You must take the 100 fully enclosed cable car, and the fully enclosed one is to go to Sanhuangzhai. The 120 small cable car is Erzu Xuan, she will not tell you, And it is a small cable car along the hillside. Don't be fooled because you have already arrived at the ticket gate. It can't be big. It's very close to the formal place.
The second time I went to Shaolin Temple, took the cable car, went to the book cliff, walked over the suspension bridge, and then folded back, because there were many people during the Qingming holiday, and many places could only pass by one person. It took a while to wait, and there were people who added. When I first arrived, I saw the martial arts performance in the square. The children played very well. The last time I fainted during the visit to Shaolin Temple 10 years ago, it was the monk in the temple who cured me. I couldn’t walk to the strong foot like flying out of the gate. I was very grateful to Shaolin Temple, so I came to visit for the second time.
Before I went, I was familiar with living in the world, and I saw Yuelu Mountain. It is known as "the ancestor of thousands of mountains" and "Taishi is like a dragon sleep, and the small room is like a phoenix dance". But after arriving at Lushan, I found that Lushan is nothing special, that is, the second ancestor has four ancient wells with sour, sweet and bitter, and there are not many tourists going to Lushan. Instead, Shaolin Temple under the mountain is crowded. It is indeed the "first temple in the world" Shaolin Temple, the world's martial arts out of Shaolin! Attracted a large number of admired good faith.
