Dear Linda,
Warmest greetings from Top China Travel!
Thank you very much for your enquiry. It is Sophie Huang, your personal tour advisor in TCT.
According to your request, you have to arrive at Luoyang railway station in the early morning, otherwise, the tour will become too tight.
Besides, if possible, could you please advise us when this tour will be taken. If it is in May, it might be impossible. As the overnight train tickets from Luoyang to Beijing is hard to book. There is only one direct overnight train from Luoyang to Beijing, starting from Luoyang and ending at Beijing. It is K270 19: 28/05:58. Other trains all start from other cities via Luoyang, whose tickets are harder to book.
Anyway, I am delighted to offer you the One day tour program as the below for your reference,
Itinerary:
In the early morning, pick up from Luoyang Railway station ( Train No and departure from which city need to be advised), transfer to visit Longmen Grottoes.
Then drive for around 2-2.5 hours to visit Shaolin Temple. Then drive back to Luoyang and transfer to railway station directly. Chinese lunch will be arranged enroute.
Note: You need to buy something to eat for dinner at local supermarket such as biscuit, fruit, bread, water, as we are afraid time is not enough to have dinner.
