A last attempt at a "real" summer trip is now going through the works, and it looks like China (and maybe Tokyo, too) will be possible. Last time I went it was very guided, and I didnt really get to choose where to visit; this time I am able to plan so its more free form.
I want to re-visit the Shaolin temple, because I was sick when I went. There were lots of monks about in the actual temple-area, and some of my friends actually got to train/drink tea with them in some back room. I just walked around sniffling :P
Where else should I visit? I need to give my agent some names of places I would be interested in. I'm looking for more martial-arts oriented locations, and maybe some out of the way spots "of interest" some of you guys know of.
Thanks in advance.
