HI, my son is going to school in Beijing and he has 8 days off over the national holidays. He and his brother are going to go to Shanghai for two days and then want to go and visit the shaolin temple before going back to beijing for three days. I see there is a train from Shanghai to Zhengzhou and again from Zhengshou to Beijing, but I am not sure where they should stay and how to get from Zhengzhou to the monastery. Can someone please give me some advise - and is Zhengzhou the right city to be going to or should they go to Luoyang
Sep. 9,2009 21:26 Mr.Jamie replied:
If they want to see Shaolin Temple, Zhengzhou is the right place to make the transfer. There is a bus statio opposite the Zhengzhou Railway Station. It has buses to Shaolin Temple. They can climb the Songshan Mountain to see sunrise too. If they do not get around Zhengzhou City, they can get to the temple directly after getting off the railway station and live in the hotel at the mountain foot of Songshan Mountain.

Do you mean you will arrive Shanghai at 0:20 in the morning? It is too early indeed. I am sorry to tell you that there is no flight or train at that time. The earliest train to zhengzhou is 06:52 and it will arrive in zhengzhou at 14:06. It is a bullet train and the fare is about 370 yuan. The earliest flight is 7:55 and the fare is about 800 yuan.
Aug. 26,2009 10:59 Mr.CHRIS(Philippines) replied:
Hello Mr. Jill..Thank you soo much for the response..Yes 0:20 in the morning is indeed too early..I guess I have to take the Bullet Train then since it's a lot cheaper than taking a plane..By the way,is the bullet train called MAGLEV? And just to add up,does the SHANGHAI RAILWAY STATION already allow people to go inside the station around the time I arrive in SHANGHAI? What i mean is that if it is open 24hrs, I'll buy a train ticket right away and just wait til 6.52 in the morning for the first train to Zhengzhou..Hope to hear from you soon..Godbless..
Aug. 28,2009 22:21 Mr.Hank replied:
Hi sir, the Maglev is the train running between shanghai Pudong Airport and downtown area only. The buttle train is a kind of express train running between cities in China.
Yes, you could enter into the railway station at anytime. But, not sure whether you could purchase a train on the same day.
