Zhengzhou is a Tourist person's delight as there are so many sights to see and I am sure it would be quite a difficult task to cram in one visit! A few of the delights on one's galavanting around this ancient City are as diverse to each other as is the Sun and Moon in a Mid Summer Eclipse........ The first stop in Zhengzhou would have to be the Shaolin Temple in my point of view which is situated at the foot hills of mount Song..very apt name for a mountain near such a place where one has to learn a lot of Song lol..well in this case it means 'to relax'..part of the martial arts training process!! They call the Shaolin Temple the NO ONE TEMPLE UNDER HEAVEN which I think is quite a sweet epithet for such a regal place. Home to Shaolin style Gong Fu..the Shaolin Monks have been practicing Martial Arts for over 1,500 years! Within the Shaolin Temple there are so many ....................................... attractions....................
O.k you will be asking me.."why the heck are you writing about Zhengzhou?"
Well there is a very simple and biased answer to that lol..it is the birthplace of my Beloved Jia Wu..and the place of Qi Men..yes the Shaolin Monks..
Capital City of Henan province, it is famous for its history..having been the Capital of the Shang Dynasty well over 3,500 years ago. It is a hubbub for both tourists and arcehologists alike that migrate from all over China and Abroad. It is also home to the infamous Shaolin Temple and we don't need an introduction as to what this Great Centre of Spirituality exports do we? Martial arts of course.
Affectionately known as the Green City, Zhengzhouren (Zhengzhourites) are proud to boust that their city is a prime example of tree planting and a model Green zone in China.
Tomorrow we will savour Zhengzhou's tourist spots and the best places to visit and hang out in.
Here is just a small glimpse of what is instore for you...and me as I can't wait to visit my Mum-in-law one day, apparently she does some wicked Yang Family Tai Ji every morning.....perfect!
