Overview

  • The Longmen Grottoes, a rich repository of ancient art and history. Book your tickets in advance to skip lines and secure your visit.
    Enhance your experience with two optional services: a guided tour led by experts who will share the grottoes' 1,500-year history and cultural significance, bringing the intricate carvings to life. Or opt for a private transfer, ensuring a stress-free journey from your hotel to the site in a comfortable vehicle.
    If you're eager to explore the origins of Shaolin culture, we also offer a combined package that includes both the Longmen Grottoes and Shaolin Temple. This unique option allows you to delve into the profound Buddhist art of the grottoes in the morning and then head to Shaolin Temple in the afternoon, where you can witness the birthplace of Shaolin Kung Fu and soak in the centuries-old Zen Buddhist traditions.
