The capital of Henan province, Zhengzhou is home to the legendary Shaolin Temple which dates back more than 1,500 years. The temple is the birthplace of Shaolin wushu (or kung fu) and forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Beyond this claim to fame, Zhengzhou is also known as the gateway to natural attractions and historical landmarks like the Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, the Yinxu ruins in Anyang and the waterfalls of Longtan Valley.
