China – Flower Blossoms & Peony Festival Tour
April 8th to April 22nd, 2008
 

April 12: Beijing – Zhengzhou
In the morning we boarded a flight to Zhengzhou. Once there we enjoyed a City tour and visit to Henan Museum, one of four major museums in China and an incredible collection. I loved the ceramic pillows that they had here…I could not imagine sleeping on them but I guess they did! All those little containers held wine. It was a beautiful museum and walking around outside we saw all kinds of trees.

This morning we transfered by coach to Luoyang, en-route visiting Shaolin Temple, traditional home of Ku Fu and Buddhism. We enjoyed a Martial Art Performance at Temple, Pagoda Forest, a visit to the school for Shaolin Martial Art training and then a delightful special Temple Vegetarian Lunch.
