Highlights

Luoyang

Capture a breath of the evolution of Chinese and Buddhist history and culture – from an old imperial capital, to the wonder of craftsmanship in the grottoes, enduring substance of Buddhism, the amazing capacity for renewal in the buildings and energy of Shaolin and the archeological revelations of Museum of King’s Six-Horse Chariot.

Itinerary

Day 1 - Arrive in Luoyang

Your guide will meet you at the airport/train station upon your arrival. On the way to the pre-booked hotel, your guide will point out the highlights and history of Luoyang. The rest of the day is at your leisure.

Meals included: None

Day 2 - Luoyang – Denfeng

Following breakfast at the hotel, you will be picked up by your guide for the 40 minute drive to the Longmen Grottoes. Along the way your guide will share with you the thirteen-dynasty history of the ancient capital, Luoyang, and the background to the grottoes. An electric car will transfer you from arrival point to the majestic entrance to the sight-seeing area. Marvel at the sheer number and artistry of exquisite collection of over 100,000 Buddhist sculptures scattered over thousands of large and small caves, covering a kilometer long limestone cliff along the river. The smallest statue is tinier than a finger – the largest ten times human size. Hear from your guide the stories behind the development, destruction and conservation of the grottoes. The 17.14 meter high statue of Locana Buddha can be viewed by climbing up 100 steps.

By taking a walk onto the bridge across the Yi River you can get a panoramic view of the whole of the grottoes. Alternatively, a short cruise on the river provides a further perspective (at your own cost).

Later, take the electric car to the parking lot to travel further back in time to the White Horse Temple, the first Buddhist temple in China. Savor the peace and tranquility of the leafy complex while appreciating magnificently decorated halls, statues of Arhats and temple architecture from Thailand, Myanmar and India.

Relax on the 1.5 hour drive to Denfeng, where you can join in a one hour Kung Fu lesson at a local martial arts school. You will then be transferred to the pre-booked hotel in Denfeng.

Meals included: Breakfast

Day 3 - Denfeng – Depart Luoyang

After breakfast at your hotel, an hour’s drive will take you to the Shaolin Temple, home of the legendary Chinese Kung Fu and Chinese Zen Buddhism. Enter through the grand white gate carrying an inscription from Emperor Kangxi to view the many temple halls with their inner decorations. Just as amazing is the extensive pagoda forest – tombs commemorating monks revered over different dynasties. No visit to the temple would be complete without enjoying a thrilling Kung Fu performance, which legend has it said that it originated in the temple as exercise for monks.

Note: Your guide will adjust the sequence of your tour to ensure you do not miss a performance at Shaolin Temple, which occurs on a fixed schedule five times daily. Each performance lasting about half an hour includes interaction with visitors.

Good to know: The Shaolin Tagou Martial Arts School, the largest local martial arts school, is located in the scenic area of Shaolin Temple. Weather permitting, you may catch the students practicing martial arts in the playgrounds nearby.

Relax in comfort as you are transferred back to Luoyang to continue your tour with a visit to Museum of King's Six-Horse Chariot, the 2,000 year old burial site of one emperor, built over the burial site of emperors in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (770BC-256BC). Relics and artefacts reveal the burial rituals and ancient history of people who lived during those eras.

At the end of the tour, you will be transferred to the train station or airport for your next destination, with time for departure recommended after 19:00.

Tripadvisor score Beautiful China!

June 2025 • Family

We absolutely had a wonderful time and would highly recommend Chinatours.com to assist travelers to build their itinerary. Our itinerary was well outlined to include many wonderful historical sites, fun outdoor markets and beautiful gardens. We were guided by very knowledgeable and friendly tour guides. We especially liked Lee. She was accommodating, knowledgeable about the history of China, introduced us to the many wonderful things about the culture, recommended very good local restaurants, and assured confirmation and safety of our transportation. Chinatours booked us very nice hotels and the transport between cities was seamless. We really enjoyed our time in China and wished we could have stayed longer.

Tripadvisor score 100% fabulous experience

June 2025 • Family

The trip with China Tours was 100% fabulous. Everything about it was exactly as described. The tour guides were all wonderful, the hotels, and transfers (two bullet trains, two domestic flights) were amazing, everything went exactly as planned, and we had a great first trip to China. We did the 13 Days China Wonders & Pandas tour in June 2025. The balance was perfect between sightseeing with the guides and having free time to explore this amazing country at each destination. The high quality of the five guides along the way really made the trip. They were wonderful people without exception: professional, courteous, very knowledgeable, and friendly. The team at China Tours did truly great work in arranging everything, down to the last detail. Thank you very much for making this trip a really great experience!
