Henan (Chinese: 河南) is a province of the People's Republic of China, located in the central part of the country. Henan is often referred to as Zhongyuan or Zhongzhou (中州) which literally means "central plain land" or "midland", although the name is also applied to the entirety of China proper. Henan is the birthplace of Chinese civilization with over 3,000 years of recorded history, and remained China's cultural, economical, and political center until approximately 1,000 years ago.

This area around Luoyang and Dengfeng have deep history dated long before Xian and Beijing. One of the oldest Taoist Temple and must visit Lao Zi the founder of Taoism all the way at the back of the temple.

Monastero Shaolin (Shaolin Temple)

This is a famous martial arts monastery, the birthplace of both kung fu and Zen Buddhism

Reviewed By Herwie

As a child, I have always been fascinated with Shaolin temple! Truly a gem of China! It is no longer a “working temple” per say, but you do see a handful of people who would pray to the gods. A must visit place! Had a private tour with Spring (ask me for his contact) and he is knowledgeable as well with the history of the temple. Got the chance to see a little bit of Kungfu show as well! Do come and explore the grounds!
