How to arrange the trip from Zhengzhou to Dengfeng? Two Days, One Night

Worship the three religions in Zhongyue Temple.

Tips: Zhengzhou Railway Station 10 minutes or so has a high-speed train to Dengfeng. Less than an hour later, Zheng-Luo Expressway is Shaolin Avenue at Dengfeng exit, and Zhongyue Temple is next to the road. (About 5 hours by car) You can taste the famous local snack Qinglin mutton soup outside the temple and start sightseeing after dinner.

Song Yang Academy of Classical Learning

After leaving Zhongyue Temple, take local bus No.2, and you can reach Songyang Academy, one of the four ancient Chinese academies (ticket 30 yuan) in less than half an hour.

Tips: At night, it is best to choose a hotel or guest house at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain, which is cheaper than the mountain and the urban area, and it is also convenient to move. Don't worry about the monotony of "visiting temples during the day and sleeping at night". Eat Hui noodles or braised fish, wok eggs and other famous Henan foods, and go to Daixian Gou Songshan Temple. Sitting on the futon, watching the Shaolin Zen music ceremony under the curtain, I started my trip to Shaolin the next day in advance. (Tickets range from 968 yuan VIP to 158 yuan. )

the next day

Good Zen on Shaoshi Mountain

Sanhuangzhai scenic spot with the best scenery in Songshan area is free of charge (tickets after 7: 00 100 yuan, including Shaolin Temple joint ticket.

Tips: Want to see the best panoramic view of Songshan Mountain? Then take the cable car from Huang San Temple to Shaolin Temple (one-way fare 50 yuan) and slowly descend the mountain. It's nearly noon, have a good rest in Shaolin, and use vegetarian food (item price 5-35 yuan). After fasting, you can not only learn simple Buddhism in the free experience area, but also enjoy meditation and meditation.

After visiting the ancestral temple, you can step into the "Shaolin Temple" mountain gate inscribed by Emperor Kangxi. In all fairness, if this must-see attraction in Henan is only the temple building itself, some of it is not good, and the buildings such as Ursa Major Hall and Tianwang Hall are no different from other temples. However, in the warm afternoon sunshine, it is a rare afternoon tea experience to drink Zen dew prepared by Shao Xi Qingquan and listen to Zen music in the stele gallery.

Tips: To be on the safe side, it is best to go down the mountain around 4 pm, take a long-distance bus to Zhengzhou Railway Station in the Shaolin Temple parking lot, and take the D 132 train back to Beijing at 6 pm.

Player's Taoist scriptures

1. Yangcheng, the capital of the first dynasty in the history of China, is located in Gaocheng Town, southeast of the county seat, in addition to the three holy places of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism mentioned above (it can be reached by bus from Dengfeng to Xuchang). There is a small exhibition hall of ancient Yangcheng ruins (40 yuan Pass) to show the cultural relics unearthed in the Xia Dynasty. Next to it is the earliest observatory in the world, the Duke of Zhou's shadow measuring platform 3000 years ago, where he measured the 24 solar terms. Behind the shadow-measuring platform is the stargazing platform created by Guo Shoujing in Yuan Dynasty, from which the most advanced calendar in the world, Shoushi Calendar, was founded.

2. At the southern foot of Taishi Mountain, there is the oldest existing polygonal brick tower with dense eaves in China-Song Yue Temple Tower in the Northern Wei Dynasty (ticket 40 yuan). There is the King of France Temple next to the tower (free of charge). Yongtai Temple, the earliest existing Buddhist temple in China (ticket 16 yuan), is located at the western foot of Taishi Mountain. There is Luya Waterfall under the hanging practice peak at the east foot, and Shi 'an in the waterfall is the best viewing spot.

I hope I can help you and adopt it. Thank you!
