Hi, whats the quickest way to get to the Shaolin Monastery from Xi'ian and back?

I’m afraid you need at least 2 days. One day is enough to visit the scenic spot but you need to spend a lot of time on the way.

Generally, the quickest way is to take a bullet train from Xian North Station to Luoyang Longmen Station. There are more than 50 bullet trains departing from 07:38 to 20:54 and it takes about 1.5-2 hours to arrive at Luoyang. Then take the bus line 77 to Luoyang Railway Station. Near the station, there is a Bus Station which has a lot of buses to the temple.
