MOUNT SONG - 'The CENTRE of HEAVEN and EARTH' 

Shaolin Temple is now a listed commercial company, and the abbot of the temple, Shi Yongxin, has become a figure like the chairman, riding in a Mercedes-Benz car. This is really funny. But the Shaolin Temple itself has a long history and has a unique position in Chinese history. thank you for your work

Thank you so much Nick for showing us this amazing places, as a China enthusiast i can't thank you enough!

Amazing Journey！👍

(10:56) Didn't know Mount Song has such spectacular geological formation. Thanks.

How you can traverse so many steps in high mountain air and not sound winded, at all, is impressive~ Another cool place that I never heard of prior!

Thank you so much for another very informative video. I'll remember to watch every video of yours carefully again later.

Thanks Nick for the great upload! I just so enjoy your presentation style, I can totally feel your emotion and love towards Chinese culture.

Another great episode!❤

Thanks for sharing Nick, I will hike Mount Song tomorrow, and I will also film it, haha. Found your video as I wanted to have an idea of what to expect, great job!

Thank you nick for this nice video to the song mountain. Being a 67yr old overseas Chinese, I am fascinated by Chinese culture and have climbed (well mostly ride in cable cars) up a few of their mountains too. If you’re a Tao follower, you may enjoy a trip to Wutang mountain. Some lovely old structures there. I’ve a suggestion for your next adventure. I have thought of visiting the old capitals of the various dynasties. Xi’an would be an appropriate starting point. It’ll be like living china’s history if one does it chronologically would you agree?

Another great video. Every time I go back to China in the summer I think I should get to 少林寺. But it’s a fair amount of trouble to get there, and I always hear about the blatant commercialism, so… maybe some day.

loving the videos brother, its very hard to find and learn stuff about China as its kind of taboo atleast where I am from. Content like this broadens the perspective a lot!

So when is Nick going to become a geology expert in addition to a history and architecture one?

THUMB UP . THANK YOU💯👍👍👍

I can suggest visiting some lakes. I find Luguhu an interesting place. So is Erhai.

Have you been to Fanjingshan mountain in Guizhou? An amazing place, I was there in May, but could be very crowded.

Nice video 👍

Is there a way to the top without walking? The view from the cable car looks good. How much is the entrance fee to the Shaolin Temple? I suppose it is accessible by motor vehicles.

Although it's 'touristy' to a degree and you won't find any Tang period pagodas, Emei Shan Sichuan is worth the ticket. Are hiking trails but it's all of 3100m to the top. Is enchanting in winter when laden with snow. Also a good 15°C cooler in summer when often surmounted by cloud, which creates a mystical vibe at the golden temple with the cauldrons and joss sticks, Buddhist monks and ethereal muzak from loudspeakers.

Did I make the cut?! Am I in it?!

嵩山河南（songshan, Hennan）is in the English way. 河南嵩山（Hennan songshan）is in the Chinese way.

No Hua Shan video?

Video quality is low. Should post HD.

Soooo much whining : ( Pity ... I'm out !
