Author: China Tour Packages – Shaolin Kung Fu Tour
Shaolin Temple is located in the south of Luoyang and Zhengzhou nestled in the foothills of Song Shan Mountain. Built 1500 years ago Shaolin Temple is considered the birthplace of Chan Buddismcradle of Shaolin Kongfu. This article presents my 4 days and 3 nights excursions including Shaolin Temple. I also have to mention the great outdoors performance in Dengfeng. The guide arranged this performance for us flexibly since the performance was originally excluded in our schedule.
In Dengfeng there is a great Shaolin Kong fu performance with 3000seat stadium. The performance is supposed to take place every night at 8:00 Pm if the weather permits. The theatre is located in Daxian Valley south suburb of Dengfeng City and is 7km far from Shaolin temple. The main stage is a valley and the mountains lie vertically with clear marks of near middle and far scenes. There are brooks forests and bridges in the valley all of which are factors forming the practical performance. We can sit on prayer mats around the brook in the wind watch the water hear the music of zen and appreciate the performance with our mind eased and relaxed. This incredible performance is super exciting.
