Henan summer tour, climb Songshan Mountain, visit Shaolin Temple

Mount Shaoshi, with its towering peaks, is one of the peaks that make up Mount Song, the Central Peak. The Shaolin Temple at the foot of the mountain is world-famous, and the Sanhuangzhai on the mountain has a profound Zen atmosphere. Here, culture and scenery complement each other. There are two options for climbing Mount Shaoshi. One is from the Shaolin Temple Scenic Area, and the other is from the Sanhuangzhai Scenic Area.
