Private Tour: Longmen Grottoes, Shaolin Temple & Kungfu Show Pick up from Luoyang: English Guide All Inclusive Day Tour

Combine visits to two UNESCO - listed world sites: Longmen Grottoes and Shaolin Temple in a full day all inclusive private tour. You can optionally choose the pickup point from Luoyang or Zhengzhou.
Meet your private guide and driver at your Luoyang Downtown hotel, Luoyang Longmen Train Station, or Zhengzhou downtown hotel. Then head directly to Longmen Grottoes. Your guide will tell you historical stories about Luoyang Old Town and the Grottoes on the way.

Upon arrival, you can take a boat cruise to enjoy a panoramic view of the grottoes, which comprise more than 2,300 caves and niches carved into the steep limestone cliffs over a 1 - km - long stretch. (The cost is on your own and the cruise is not available in winter.)

Afterwards, take an electronic bus and explore the Grottoes on foot. The Longmen Grottoes are considered the largest and most impressive collection of Chinese art from the late Northern Wei and Tang Dynasties (316 - 907). You will admire the cave statues and appreciate the sculpture art.

After visiting the Longmen Grottoes, you will have around 1.5 hours of private transfer to Shaolin Temple. Your tour guide will not only explain the temple's history and stories but also share the Buddhist philosophy and its influence in China.

Before the Temple tour, you will enjoy a local lunch and watch a Kungfu show performed by Shaolin monks.

Shaolin Temple was first constructed in 495 A.D. Later, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty (386 - 557AD) had the temple built to accommodate the Indian master Batuo. Shaolin Temple is the origin of Chinese Kungfu. It has also been recognized as the origin of ZEN Buddhism and the cradle of Kungfu. Zen Buddhism is the most popular Buddhist sect in China and East Asia.

At the end of the day tour, your private guide and driver will take you back to your downtown hotel or Longmen Train Station.

NOTE: It will be super crowded during the Peony Festival in April. It will not be enjoyable, and maybe you can't finish the whole tour during this season.
