Shaolin Monastery

Peter M. Geiser

The Shaolin monastery is said to have been the home of monks that developed the Shaolin Kung Fu.

Nowadays, spurred on by the movies set in this monastery, it has become one of China's major tourist attractions. Its surrounding buildings are home to a school for martial arts, with hundreds of students attending classes.

The easiest way to go to this monastery is to use one of the many tour busses from Zhengzhou.
