About:Shaolin Temple

Hello!
I will be travelling to Luoyang this Friday evening, arrival on Saturday morning. My plan is to go to the Longmen Grottoes with a taxi, and from there take another taxi to Dengfeng where I will spend the night.
On Sunday, I plan on going to the Shaolin temple at 8 a.m, stay there for 2 hours, and then ascend Shaoshishan (using the cable car to start with). I read that the return walk to the peak should take about 6 hours, meaning back in Shaolin at 4 p.m. From there, I was thinking of enjoying a martial art show if time allows, and then head back to Luoyang where my train will leave at 6.20 p.m.
My question is double:
- Is it easy to catch a taxi from Longmen Grottoes to Denffeng, and if yes, how much is a reasonable price?(for a foreigner, I am used to be asked for a little more than Chinese ;) )
- Are there buses from Shaolin back to Luoyang? Where to find them?
If not, I will take a taxi to save time. How much will the ride from Shaolin to Luoyang will cost approximately? I could go back to Dengfen and take a bus to Luoyang, but only if time allows.
Thanks a lot in advance for your answer! Looking forward to be there!

It is not difficult to find taxi. There are direct shuttle bus from Longmen to Shaoling Temple, why don't you take this bus and stay one night in Shaolin Hotel. By taxi, it takes about 30-50RMB from Dengfeng to Shaolinsi, more than 100RMB, perhapd 150RMB from Shaolinsi to Luoyang. So, it may need nearly 100RMB from Longmen to Dengfeng, I didn't know.

Thanks for your mail!
I will try to go for that bus Longmen-Dengfeng then, it sounds pretty good.
And for the other trips, the taxi fee is not so high, so it is nice to know ;)
