 During China's infamous Cultural Revolution, anything smacking of religion was brutally suppressed. But now, things are very different. In Henan and Shanxi provinces, the country's rich Buddhist heritage is once more delighting and astonishing the world.
Discover the spectacular stone Buddha sculptures of the Longmen Grottoes and the Yungang Caves. Practice Kung Fu steps with the Shaolin monks. Climb the rickety steps of Sakyamuni Pagoda, the world's tallest wooden structure.
These are just a few of the delights that await on a cultural journey through central China.
