Any martial artist afficindo will know of the stories of martial arts orgininating with Chinese biddhist monks in the Shao Lin Temple, now, despite the veracity or not of this legend, Shao Lin Temple Monastery is a well known, though perhaps not well visited place in China.
Having studied Kung Fu for a number of years, I was very interested in visiting the alleged birth place of Kung Fu.
Shao Lin Temple is located about 80km westwards of Zheng Zhou in the middle of China....
We had previously visited Xi'an, so then a bus and a minicbus to ZhengZhou, and then to dengfeng, staying in local accomodation.
