Songshan Mountain range, Henan Province

Mount Song (Songshan) is made up of several mountains that rise to 1500 m in the Dengfeng district of Henan province. The mountain is one of the most sacred Buddhist mountains of China. It is home to the famous ShaoLin Temple, traditionally considered the birthplace of Zen Buddhism. 

Shao is one of the mountains in the range. One of the ways to go to Shao is a 15-minute cable car ride from near the ShaoLin Temple. We took this route.
