The legendary place where one of the branches of Chinese kung fu came from. I dreamed of visiting it, and one day it happened.
Modern Shaolin is an active sports base that unites different schools where people from young to old train and study kung fu. Nevertheless, all the cultural heritage of this place has been preserved, here you can see the monks who dedicated their lives to the monastery, and watch a modern acrobatic show from the students, you can also watch the training process live.
It is better to visit Shaolin early in the morning to see everything: there is a forest of pagodas behind the temple, further to the right is the road to Damo cave, about 600 steps, to the left is the ascent to Songshan Mountain, thousands of steps (at some point I got tired of counting). If you are too lazy to go, you can use the funicular. My friends and I chose a difficult path, went through everything with our feet, so we descended from Songshan Mountain at dusk, after such a walk, our legs simply did not feel. There were also problems with calling a taxi in the evening, we were returning to Luoyang, most of the cars had already left, and no one wanted to take them by order. I went before covid, now the transport situation is probably better, but in any case it is worth considering this point.
The impressions of the visit are amazing, the sea of emotions, the endless joy of making a dream come true. Who is thinking - we must go!

The territory is a large park, with a deep history, if you trample your feet to your knees, then this is a great place, the Shaolin performance on liquid two is very ordinary, I have seen much more amazing Shaolin performances in other cities and countries, for this it is definitely not worth going there.
