Travel through millennia in pursuit of the roots and soul of Chinese civilization

Tour Overview

Over six days and five nights, journey across the Central Plains from Zhengzhou to Kaifeng and Luoyang and back. Visit the legendary Shaolin Temple where Zen meets martial arts, gaze up at the millennia-old smile of the Vairocana Buddha at Longmen Grottoes, ascend Heaven Hall and Ming Tang to feel the grandeur of the High Tang, and wander Luoyi Ancient City by night as though transported to the Tang Dynasty. Kaifeng's Great Song Martial Arts City brings the heroism of Liangshan outlaws to life, and White Horse Temple traces the eastward spread of Buddhism. This is a profound dialogue with the very roots of Chinese civilization.
