In the following a few useful travel tips for those who always wanted to make the adventurous journey to Shaolin.
Trip to Shaolin
The easy way for beginners and non-chinese speakers:
If you travel for the first time to China, we recommend to fly to Zhengzhou.
It is important to know that your luggage is not automatically passed on at Beijing airport! You must collect your bags and check in again to your connection flight to Zhengzhou.
Further on you should go by taxi. At the airport of Zhengzhou thousands of taxi drivers will be happy to drive you anywhere. The communication should still be no big problem here because everyone knows and understands the word "Shaolin".
The best thing would be to write down the Chinese characters for Shao Lin Si and the price you want to pay.
