I Have decided like so many others to travel to china to study shaolin gong fu. At first, I went for the usual Siping and Yantai academies, then I found your extremely helpful site. After viewing endless threads on different schools, I have decided to go to Dengfeng with no prior arrangements, find a hotel somewhere and spend a few days observing schools before I choose one. Please inform me if this is naive. I have a few questions for those of you in the know:
1. Upon arriving in Dengfeng, will it be easy to locate the area where most schools are situated or is it a big city in which one could easily get lost?
2. In your experience (those of you who have been there), are hotel rooms generally easy to find or should prior arrangements be made?
3. Do schools in the area generally have waiting lists or is it possible to just 'turn up', and enroll?
4. I read that someone named YanZhang runs a good school (this is according to one of the members of this site Hei hu I think his name was) does anyone know the address and whether this place in particular requires booking prior to attendance as I would like to seek it out.
Thankyou those of you that can help.
