What you can expect

  • Experience the world’s largest mountain live performance — Zen Shaolin Music Ritual, nestled in the natural valley of Songshan Mountain, the cradle of Shaolin Zen Buddhism and Kung Fu.

    Created by world-famous composer Tan Dun, this one-hour immersive show unfolds in five poetic chapters: Water Music, Wood Music, Wind Music, Light Music and Stone Music. Nearly 600 martial monks, folk dancers and instrumentalists deliver a stunning fusion of authentic Shaolin kung fu, ancient Zen chants, guzheng melodies and modern light projection art.

    No man-made stage setups — the whole Songshan mountain range acts as your backdrop, with a 20-meter giant artificial moon hanging over the valley. Surrounded by natural mountain wind, stream sounds and panoramic surround sound system, you will sit on traditional rush cushions to enjoy this one-of-a-kind audio-visual feast.

    A perfect complement to your Shaolin Temple daytime visit, this night performance reveals the inner Zen spirit behind Shaolin martial arts and offers a once-in-a-lifetime cultural experience for overseas travelers exploring Chinese Zen culture.
