On the Road: Shaolin Temple - the most famous temple in the world.

We arrived at the parking lot of Shaolin Temple Scenic Area at around 3pm. We thought there would be fewer people at this time, but there were only a few parking spaces left in the large parking lot. The parking lot is a distance from the temple gate. You can walk or take a scenic area shuttle bus. The one-way fare is CNY 15 per person and the round-trip fare is CNY 25 per person. There is a free martial arts performance at the martial arts hall on the way. We took the shuttle bus directly to the gate of Shaolin Temple. There were many tourists and many groups. After entering the temple, there were explanations and photos everywhere. There were not many people burning incense, at least not as many as in Zhongyue Temple. There were also many foreign groups, all of whom came to see Chinese Kung Fu. I always feel that this temple has lost its original appearance, and there is even a calligraphy and painting exhibition in the Sutra Depository. Until I saw the pits on the brick floor in the last Western Saint Hall, I imagined the scene of the martial monks practicing martial arts, and I had some respect for Shaolin. In any case, the reputation of Shaolin Temple has been well-known throughout the ages and is well-known at home and abroad. [○]Key points: [One] Shaolin Temple was built in the 19th year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty (495 AD). It was a temple built by Emperor Xiaowen to settle the Indian monk Batuo to preach.
