I learn shaolin kung fu for one month with real shaolin monks in shaolin temple,the place is amazing. The shaolin kung fu training is very good.My master’s enthusiasm during training is properly what I liked the most, always pushing us to do better. I really like to learn Shaolin kung Fu there and you are able to visit shaolin temple for free. :)

Shaolin Night Show is stunning visual and Audio experience
We actually did a full day hiring a driver to take us to the Longmen Grottos which were extremely cool though I would skip the Grottos on the "other" side of the river and just walkback on that side so you have a great view of what you walked through. Then we took the 1 hour drive to see the Shaolin Temple (the Kung Fu demo in the arena could have easily skipped) - which was only ok as I've seen many temples in SE Asia - I liked the graves. Then went to town had dinner and went back for the evening show without high expectations but I was totally blown away! The stunning visuals in this natural setting set to well choreagraphed music was one of the best shows I've seen in my entire life hands downbar none. Be sure to either bring layers of clothes with a good jacket - or rent the ones from the parking lot - long green military winter jackets as it gets very cool at night.
