In the Shaolin monastery, pupils are trained in Wushu by master. Despite rigorous training however, only a select few could be admitted into the Shaolin Display Team. Others make it to become a martial arts teacher at Wushu schools. Shaolin does have a long tradition of Chinese martial arts, as the saying goes 'All martial arts (Kungfu) are from Shaolin.' So an experiencing learning day will be carefully and specially arranged by us. Just in a short time, we will try to give our clients a brief picture of martial arts learning, life in Shaolin and what would be the most important spirit in such a hard training. To gain not only a strong body, but more a stronger soul.

The Tri-colored Glazed Pottery in the Tang style is a Chinese art that dates back 1,300 years. It is so named because it has red, green and white all on one object. Those produced in Luoyang, Henan Province are the best known in China. Prior to the Tang Dynasty pottery could only be produced in a single color.
The Tri-colored Tang pottery, continuously improved through the centuries, has now been developed even further and its varieties have reached several hundred. The once tri-colored glaze has grown to include yellow, purple, black and blue while the artistic quality has
also been raised.
The clay of Luoyang excels in viscosity, purity and pliancy while it is at the same time surprisingly hard and strong. It is superb for making pottery.
During this trip of Henan, we will particularly arrange a DIY handicrafts experience for your clients to try this art by their own hands. Help you create your own chance to make the Tang Tri-colored Pottery by yourself. We believe it is a different experience to feel the ancient traditional Chinese culture.

Rock's peony or Rock's tree peony is a woody species of peony that is named after Joseph Rock. It became the unofficial national flower of China following a nationwide referendum in 1994.
The peony is among the longest-used flowers in ornamental culture and is one of the smallest living creature national emblems in China. Along with the plum blossom, it is a traditional floral symbol of China, where it is called 牡丹 (mǔ dān). It is also known as 富贵花 (fu gui hua) "flower of riches and honor", and is quite often used symbolically in Chinese art. The famous ancient Chinese city Luoyang has a reputation as a cultivation centre for the peonies. Throughout Chinese history, peonies in Luoyang are often said to be the finest in the country. Dozens of peony exhibitions and shows are still held here annually, especially the Grand Peony Festival in April always the great ceremony for Peony flower kingdom.
Normally we would like to arrange a trip in this period and give our clients a more fantastic experience and memory for this Henan Trip.

In Buddhism, Theravadins consider that taking of life and eating meat which is already killed is the same. If Buddhist monks "see, hear or know" a living animal was killed specifically for them to eat, they must refuse it or else incur an offense. Buddha did not make any comment discouraging them to eat meat nor did he made any rule or prohibition in his religion on any thing. His teachings simply say that "taking a life of an living thing either by killing or letting someone to kill it in your place or by supporting such a sinful act you will be making a great sin but anyone is free to choose what his path is"
