English: The original Shaolin Monastery died in 1928, killed and razed by a renegade Nationalist warlord, who subsequently suffered assassination himself for his plans to defect to the Japanese. After the death of Mao the Communist Party of China (CPC) rehabilitated the place as best they could, but the rebuilt temple was inadequate to their plans for a major tourism center and international Kung Fu educational center. Leaving the rebuilt monastery as a shell they built a new centre to the northeast on the left bank of the Shao Yang River bordering on Route G207, which splits from the course of the river to cross the mountains to the NW. The centre contains such items as the parking lot, the park headquarters, or "Songshan Shaolin Management Bureau," the government-run "Shaolin Tagou Martial Arts School" of de-Buddhized Kung Fu, with rows of barracks-like dormitories and a huge practice field, where the students are taught the tricks, so to speak, of flying monks and other stunt-man routines. It runs into Lucun village with its facilities for providing necessities to visitors. As the government allows foreigners to have schools there, a number of Kung Fu schools have taken up residence, such as the "Sh. Temple Martial Arts Academy," the "Sh. Kungfu Temple," and many others. The whole park was named "Shaolin Monastery Scenic Spot, which is a part of Songshan Scenic Area." It stretches along the whole upper Shao Yang from where it leaves Wuru Peak to where it enters Shaolin Reservoir, some 4.5 km (2.8 mi), and extends west up G207 some 2.55 km (1.58 mi).
