Skip Zhengzhou?

ZEROCOOL749 Points: Join Date: Mar 23, 2007 Status: offline	I have been booking hostels and getting the details on my trip and an interesting question rose: Should I skip going to Zhengzhou and take a train from Hangzhou directly to Luoyang? Skipping Zhengzhou would save me the logistics of planning another hostel and train ticket. There is not much I wish to see in Zhengzhou except visiting the Shaolin Temple. The Shaolin Temple is easily accessible from Luoyang and Zhengzhou so there is no reason to stop in Zhengzhou. Below is my schedule for my trip. Shanghai (3 days) -- train (1:30) -- Hangzhou (3 days) -- overnight train (16:00) -- Zhengzhou (3 days) –train (1:30) -- Luoyang (2 days) – train (5:00) -- Xian (4 days) --- overnight Z train (12:30) --- Beijing (3 days) Can I easily find a train from Hangzhou to Luoyang? Is there some reason I should not skip Zhengzhou that I am missing? Thank you again for your help! Brett

I have just come from Zz and there is no reason to go there. Very busy noisy city. As California says, you can get to Shaolin form Luoyang. I met someone who was charged 400rmb for the round trip...a bit high I think, or you can catch the very frequent buses to Dengfeng. Tomorrow I will take a bus from Shaolin to Luoyang - today at Shaolin I noticed they are very frequent.

Entrance to Shaolin is 100 rmb.
