At dawn, when the morning bell of Shaolin Temple rings on time, its distant and solemn chime drifts through the woods, gently awakening the sleeping soul; at dusk, the deep echo of the evening drum brings a perfect end to the day. Here, one can resonate with the morning and evening rhythms of the millennium ancient monastery without deliberate pursuit.

Looking into the distance, the majestic outline of Songshan Mountain comes into full view. The mountain, which has undergone billions of years of geological changes, resembles a thick history book, quietly telling the mysteries of Earth’s evolution and the accumulation of time. Being here, on one side is the cultural spectacle of lingering Chan sounds and thriving martial arts traditions, and on the other is the magnificent natural wonder crafted by nature’s ingenious hand. Both body and mind seem to undergo an unprecedented baptism and elevation.
