1. The best option is to travel by air. It takes about 2 hours to reach the city, and the flight prices varies according to seasons. Also, you can take a high speed train to the city from the main railway station or Hongqiao Railway Station. It takes about 7 hours. A second-class seat costs CNY 236.5, while a first class seat costs CNY 379.5
2. Do you refer to "Mt. Song" by "My. Song"? Well, there is no accomodation on the mountain top. But you will find many hotels, hostels, and inns at the foot of the mountain.
3. For your four-day tour, you may arrange it this way.
Day 1: Provincial Museum- Erqi Memorial Tower-shopping around Erqi Square
Day 2: Century Amusement Park- Yellow River Scenic Area
Day 3 & 4: Shaolin Temple & Songshan Mountain- Songyang Academy
If possible, you can squeeze to have a side trip to Luoyang. It's only 30-40 minutes' bullet train ride between.
