A treasury of Chinese stone carving: hundreds of caves and niches, every Buddha with a thousand years of belief behind it. The Vairocana Buddha is the one that stops conversation.
Shaolin Monastery & Longmen Grottoes from Zhengzhou
Two World Heritage sites in one day: the birthplace of Zen, and a Tang imperial cave temple
老實說
這一天到底怎麼過Two heavyweight sites in one coach day: Shaolin in the morning with the martial arts show, the Longmen grottoes in the afternoon. Twelve hours, and both are UNESCO.
適合
- Travellers with one day between Zhengzhou and Luoyang
- Kung fu and Buddhist art
什麼情況下別訂
If you want either site done slowly, this splits the day in half — pick one instead.
Shaolin and Longmen are 60 km apart in different cities. The coach is what makes one day work; doing it by public transport does not.
一天的起點與終點
以下時間皆為出發時間Three city-centre meeting points, or hotel pick-up inside the Third Ring
一天,細到每一分鐘
9 個停靠點Local time (GMT+8). The martial arts show runs to fixed times, so the guide reorders the temple stops around whichever showing you catch.
Depart Zhengzhou接送
Starts at the Zijingshan department store car park at 07:10; Erqi Square at 07:15 and Lucheng Square at 07:20. Hotel pick-up inside the Third Ring and at Zhengzhou and East stations
Shaolin martial arts show景點
See the show before entering the temple — roughly 09:30, 10:30 and 11:30, thirty minutes each. Sit centre block twenty minutes early
The Changzhu courtyard景點
Seven successive courtyards: the mountain gate with the Kangxi-inscribed plaque, the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the Mahavira Hall, the sutra library, the Stand-in-the-Snow Pavilion, then the Thousand Buddha Hall with its worn flagstones
Pagoda Forest景點
China’s largest surviving pagoda cluster — over 240 tomb pagodas from the Tang to the Qing, and a location in the 1982 film Shaolin Temple. Keep quiet and do not climb
Lunch (own expense)用餐
In Dengfeng: braised lamb, menzi (a local steamed starch cake) and sesame-crusted flatbread. Temple vegetarian restaurants run ¥30–50 a head
On to Longmen車程
About an hour on the expressway via Luoyang
Longmen Grottoes景點
West Hill: Qianxi Temple, the three Binyang caves (Northern Wei), the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave, then Fengxian Temple and its 17.14 m Vairocana Buddha. Cross the Yi River to East Hill for the view back over the whole cliff; Xiangshan Temple or Bai Garden if time allows
Back to Zhengzhou車程
About two hours, with one service-area stop
Arrive Zhengzhou返程
Dispersal near Zijingshan. Tell the guide in advance if you have a train or flight that evening
進與出
依路線而異What’s included
- Air-conditioned coach, one seat each
- Shaolin Scenic Area admission, including the courtyard, Pagoda Forest and martial arts show
- Longmen Grottoes admission
- Licensed guide and wireless headsets
- Travel agency liability insurance
Not included
- Lunch and dinner
- Shaolin cable car (¥100 return) and park shuttle
- Longmen park shuttle (¥20 return)
- Personal expenses and gratuities
- The martial arts show runs to fixed times, roughly 9:30, 10:30, 11:30, 14:00, 15:00 and 16:00, thirty minutes each. The guide reorders the visit around it — do not wander off to catch one alone.
- Incense inside the temple is free. Ignore anything offered as “blessed” by roadside vendors, and note that photography is banned in several halls.
- Sanhuangzhai, the cliff walk on Shaoshi Mountain, is covered by the same ticket, but the cable car stops at 16:00 and this itinerary has no time for it — that needs a separate day.
- Fengxian Temple is the finest stretch at Longmen and also the most crowded. The best angle is from the far bank on East Hill, looking back.
- The expressway to Dengfeng jams on public holidays; departures move earlier and hotel pick-up is dropped on those days.
For travellers with a single day who want both a Zen monastery and an imperial cave temple. About 5 km of walking with steps; children and older parents simply go slower.

旅客怎麼說
61,948 則評價You can read the dynasties off the walls — Northern Wei figures are slender, Tang ones round and full. Imperial commissions and ordinary people's votive niches side by side in the same cliff.
The giant Vairocana Buddha is said to be modelled on Empress Wu Zetian, and it is the high point. Enter from the north-west service gate — it puts you on the right bank for the classic view across the water.
