Dengfeng

In Henan province

Dengfeng is a county-level city administered by Zhengzhou in central Henan, at the foot of Mount Song, the central peak of China's Five Great Mountains. It is world-famous as the home of the Shaolin Temple, birthplace of Chan (Zen) Buddhism and of Shaolin kungfu, drawing martial-arts students from around the globe. A cluster of ancient monuments here — temples, the Songyang Academy and the Zhougong astronomical observatory — form a UNESCO World Heritage site, 'Historic Monuments of Dengfeng in the Centre of Heaven and Earth'. For an international student, Dengfeng offers legendary martial-arts culture, sacred-mountain scenery and unmatched heritage.
