As for your case, it is best to stay in Luoyang. And yes, there are direct buses from the airport to Luoyang and they are scheduled from 10:00 to 00:30 every day. The bus fare is 70RMB per person. After getting to Luoyang, check in a hotel. You can travel from that hotel to Luoyang Train Station to take bus no. 81 to Longmen Caves. And I remember there are direct buses from the caves to Shaolin Temple, but not sure whether they are still available now. Good luck and have a good trip!

thanks for your help... one quick question... do you believe its alright to turn up at the bus station or train stations in china and always be able to get transport? or are they always booked up in advance and you need to book a day before/ thanks

People usually buy bus tickets in the bus station, so there is little possibility that all tickets are sold out on the same day! However, it is best to book train tickets in advance, because most people would buy that in advance and it is the most popular transport in China.
