This was a great day trip to see two of the most famous attractions in the Henan province. My guide on the day was Jimmy, both he and the driver were very nice and professional. Jimmy explained the whole history connected to the Shaolin temple, kung fu, the pagoda forest, and then also the Longmen grottoes and its many buddha statues. He was also happy to answer all the questions I had.
