Then change for Dengfen Shaolin si bus and right for 50 minutes. don’t worry locals will help you to find your way.
Attractions - Shaolin Temple has good almost than two thousands years of history. it’s protected by UNESCO heritage list. it contains several halls ( Mahavira hall, Shanmen hall and Hall of Heavenly Kings), Pagoda Forest, caves, monastery and training centre. The last provides to the visitors daily kungfu shows. Would recommend to take a ride on a cable line (price varies 60-90 yuan).

Food & Restaurants - I would recommend to try 登封刀削面 - local specialty a bowl of noodles with fresh vegetables and meat.
