Is it better to travel to Shaolin Temple by yourself or with a tour group?

As a local in Dengfeng,

I suggest you join the tour!

You save money by joining a tour group. Of course, most people will not buy things at tourist attractions!

But the most important thing is not to save money,

but that Dengfeng scenic spots, including Shaolin Temple, are cultural and historical attractions rather than natural scenery attractions,

The former requires a good guide. With the explanation of a good guide, your journey will become interesting.

Especially the cultural relics in many scenic spots in Dengfeng. People who don’t know it may just think it is an ordinary piece of cultural relics. Stone monuments or ordinary courtyards will be very different with explanations!

Attractions with natural scenery are suitable for travelers to visit on their own, but Dengfeng and Shaolin Temple are obviously not such attractions!
